Audacity Forum

Bart, It is difficult to draw any conclusions here. Clearly if the Realtek device did not play, something is not right. Have you been to the motherboard manufacturer's site to obtain Windows 7 64-bit audio drivers for that motherboard? It would be good for you to experiment with that cable to see i...

With it being a new computer with an I7, Quad Core, 3.2gHz and 12GB ram with a 120gb SSD drive, I don't think system resources are an issue. My old one (a couple of weeks ago) was an old P4, 3.02gHz single core with 1GB RAM and a WHOLE LOT MORE BS software installed ran Audacity just fine. The big ...

So far we've been struggling with Self Recording which is a chore to troubleshoot because by definition, all the sound services, both directions, have to be running properly and at once in order to work. I would kill for you to split the system up and record something that didn't originate on the i...

Hi, have you thought about downloading the Youtube .flv (I use YTD) & open it with Audacity which strips out the audio tracks & see if your PC is still running the track too fast? Tried that and that will work. I can just just about any format in Audacity (that it supports) just fine. But if I try ...

Well that does at least help to rule out some other possibilities. If Windows Sound Recorder can record then Audacity should be able to. So what we are looking at now is likely to be either that Audacity fails because it is a little "heavier" than Windows Sound Recorder and that is just enough to p...

I tried the Windows Sound Recorder and it works fine as well If Windows Sound Recorder works then you should be able to get the same result by setting Audacity to use Microsoft Sound Mapper. Steve, you had me going there for a minute. I thought I had tried all the various "Recording" settings. Swit...

Since you seem to be saying 1.3 versions have the same problem, it could be that the Sabrent is one of those few PCI cards that for some reason are not fully compatible with Audacity. If you wanted to you could still try Windows Sound Recorder. Like Audacity, it can only record computer playback if...

Are you sure those two "Exclusive Mode" boxes in Windows "Sound" are checked? Have you rebooted the computer, not just come out of sleep or hibernation? Other than that, I suggest process of elimination. Do older versions of Audacity have the same problem? How about 1.3.12 (http://audacity.googleco...

Thanks for the videos. What is the name and model number of the recording device that has stereo mix? Onboard audio or USB sound card? From your video of recording from YouTube, the recording cursor is travelling at about half speed, and playback cursor travelling at correct speed, with the obvious...

When you say "way too fast", how much "too fast" do you mean? 10% too fast? 50%? 1/4 speed? 10x , 20x too fast? If you import a 'known-to-be-good' audio file into Audacity, does it play correctly? Steve, I'll do you one better. This first YouTube clip I did. Started playing a Peter Gabriel song on ...
