Best way is to use a flash card reader and copy the recording directly from the flash card to your computer hard drive (or SSD). However, obsessive engineer would like to point out that in a very long presentation, you will be mounting and unmounting that chip many, many times and I'm not sure the ...

there is still sound coming through both speakers. It's going to both speakers, but one of them isn't working. That's not good news. There is an operational setting which can do that. Do you see the L----o----R slider to the left of the show? If that's off, the blue waves will seem normal, but the ...

that defeats the whole purpose of being able to set a specific sample rate.

And before you start writing checks, it would be super good to post a sample of the noise so we can hear it. Wouldn't it be sad if you spent the bux and it turns out to be something easily fixed?

First. Stop uninstalling Audacity. It doesn't reset anything. Record a small piece and try to export it as MP3. If it succeeds, you win. Now I no longer hear what I need to clean up as well as I used to. [Puzzled Puppy Look] You what? If you were getting both bouncing sound meters before and now you...
