Audacity Forum

We had device manager look for updated drivers on the machine and on the Net. It said we had the most up-to-date driver available. It also gave no opportunity to roll back the driver (grayed out) Even though we've worked over Skype with Audacity in the past, she quit Skype completely and attempted t...

We will try installing the 64-bit drivers: however, I will point out again that the program had been working fine on her 64-bit machine for several weeks before the problem arose. Also, we have worked OVER Skype repeatedly and without difficulty in Audacity on her machine.
