Audacity Forum

***Edited*** AlphaT, This is how I finally got it to work. First, connect your input device via usb. In the bottom right corner of your screen you need to expand the little up arrow near the internet symbol. Then right click the little speaker symbol. Left click "Open sound settings". Next, on the r...

It's working!!!!!!!! Yeeeessssss!!!! Maybe it was just a stupid thing that Dell computers did. Yeah Dell, thanks for the "Enhancements".

Ok, here's a possible breakthrough. I just messed with a bunch of settings again and now it APPEARS that I'm getting proper stereo recording. I say "appears" because although I can see different waveforms for left and right audacity channels, when I go to play it back to make sure, audacity will not...

Oops, I forgot to tell you that I tried the experiment you told me to do regarding generating a tone and moving the pan slider back and forth. I did that and I was able to hear the tone move left to right as you would expect it to. The tone that was generated was on a mono track though. Hope that he...

Set all the preferences as I have done for hundreds of tracks for the past 5 years, and then usin...

Thanks again for the response, but the headphones and spea...

Oh ok, for all intents and purposes it was just test noise but I hear ya. Anyway, I tried those instructions to no avail. Any other ideas?

Hello! I've been using audacity for 5 years now and I love it! So first of all, thanks! I just gave a donation :). So, recently my PC died and I got all my old data sent to a new PC. It is using Windows 10 and I suppose they transferred an old version of audacity to the new computer. I'm extremely f...
