Which Audacity exactly, which Windows, and are they still missing if you restart Audacity fresh and open a known good working sound file, like this short one...

Choppy is usually the computer not being able to keep up. How full is your hard drive and have you ever defragmented it? Defrag -- Right Click Start > Explore > Right Click Local Drive C: > Properties (Used, Remaining) -- Tools > Error Checking & Defragmentation Never let the drive get over 90% ...

<<<And it sounds like I need to eliminate spaces in labeling, too... >>> That particular one only counts in filenames and then only if you have to use all three computer platforms to transfer files all over the planet -- like me.

It's not the H2. Too many people are using those for production -- barring that yours may be broken. The place of analog to digital conversion is the magic place where the sample frequency is established. If you connect the H2 USB to the computer, then the H2 determines the frequencies. If you send ...
