Audacity Forum

Literally disconnect the H5 from everything else and run it by itself. You may have to hunt up a couple of AA batteries. If you've been powering the H5 from the computer, that may be one of the problems. You don't have to do that forever, but that's the desperation method if nothing else works. It w...

I think before you go galloping off in all directions, it might be good to know what you really have. Windows isn't particularly good at telling you by itself, so you might try Media Info. https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfoOnline You can also force Windows to reveal the filename extensions. Windows wil...

Does it work a lot better if you record on the H5 stand-alone and then transfer the completed sound file to your computer?

In the US, that would be a 1/4" Male Stereo to 1/8" Female Stereo. Everywhere else, it's going to be 6.5mm Stereo to 3.5mm Stereo adapter. Also here, etc. https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-6-35mm-Female-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B01D82XXGO/ref=pd_sbs_23_img_1/141-9203021-8790817?_encoding=UTF8&pd_...

You are the poster child for my opinion if you have constant problems recording on the computer, stop recording on the computer. I took delivery of an H1n, walked into my quiet bedroom and using it stand-alone on a roll of paper towels, cranked out a voice track with audiobook technical quality. If ...

I have a very strong bias to fixing the problem rather than trying to patch the sound damage later. You can get Mu Metal sheets to shield against magnetic interference. In some cases, plain steel may work enough. https://www.kjmagnetics.com/blog.asp?p=shielding-materials These people have explanatio...

USB Hubs and Sound/Video don't get along. Make sure the Solo is the only thing connected to the HooToo.

no sound comes through the mic I plugged into the XLR port on the scarlet solo. The microphone whose name and model number is? Ignore Audacity for a minute. Can you get the Solo knob to change color and flash when you talk? Push Direct Monitor and plug your headphones into the Solo. Can you hear yo...

And you should post with no effects, filters or corrections. If we do find anything wrong, there's no way to know if it's your voice or your corrections.
