<<<(The computer has the same error all the time, and nothing is affected for some reason).>>> So to recap, you have a known unstable computer and Audacity seems to be the only program affected by it? Audacity is a very simple audio program and it depends for its existence on a known, good, stable c...

<<<it ususally is some kind of driver problem.>>> Not always, Sometimes you're in the wrong Windows Sound Panel. Windows Control Panel http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#Using_the_Control_Panel By the way, you are recording the leakage and defects in your sound card, n...

<<<Does anyone know where I can get audio files of pure musical notes>>> Google the frequency of the note you want and then use the tone generator to generate that note on the timeline. I believe the default tone is 440 Hz which is the "A" that the oboe sounds at the beginning of the conce...

If you have a good deskside PC, this isn't too hard. Hopefully, there's a Line-Out on the tape machine and you connect that to the Line-In on your sound card. I think my connecor is blue. Your mileage may vary. That's usually, what, Stereo RCA to stereo 1/8" plug. Length to suit. You may not go...

Generally, for thirty-five cents a headset, you don't switch anything off. It's built into the mechanics of the microphone boom. Actually, I think we paid $19 US for ours. Slightly less for the single muff design. Another thing we liked about these is that the boom is flexible. Really. It bends like...

It may be more complicated than that. USB connections can be "self-healing" and in the case of a hard drive connection, they will try to punch their way through a certain amount of dirt or corrosion on the connections. If you sit there with an accurate clock and a calculator, you may notic...

There is another layer of this. If you launch Audacity and click once inside the red record meters, they will wake up and tell you what the record volume is going to be without going into Record.
