Audacity Forum

My audio device is whatever came built-in with my Intel chipset. Using hardinfo, I see I have an "Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)". I'm recording streaming internet radio to listen to later (it's blocked at my work).

My CPU has 4 cores. Audacity is taking about 12% and the system monitor itself is averaging 8-12%. (it seems to report in multiples of 4%)

I am seeing dropouts occurring with less than 50% memory and 25% CPU utilization.

I am noticing intermittent dropouts when recording audio playing on my computer in Audacity 2.3.1, on Linux Mint 18.3. I originally installed it from the package repository. For hardware, I have an Intel i5-2450M CPU (2.5GhZ), 6 GB of RAM, and 70GB of space on the partition containing Audacity's tem...

Since switching to Linux Mint with Audacity 2.0.1, I have been noticing a problem that sometimes happens when recording. The recording cursor will move forward at hyper-fast speed, recording at least two minutes in about two seconds, then proceed at normal speed with the actual block of a sound that...

I'm trying to experiment with the scripting module, preferably in Python. I managed to do a basic chirp effect while messing around, but then stopped being able to open the audacity_script_pipe.to. After some more messing around, I managed to delete the pipes hoping I could recreate them. The script...

That worked! I can now view my devices as normal. That's strange, I thought I had all the dependencies... Anyway, on to the whole reason I was building from source: can anyone direct me to where I can learn to use the experimental scripting language? (Or failing that, any examples or source files co...

I uninstalled everything and reran configure Where did you get the Audacity 1.3.14 source code from? Directly from the SVN head, since I want to try scripting. It actually appears to be 1.3.13, though. Could this be a problem? Maybe you're missing alsa libs. Top candidate there would probably be li...

I uninstalled everything and reran configure, but --disable-alsa is still there. Why is it enabled by default this time and how do I stop it from being enabled?

Did all that. Reinstalling did not help. I renamed audacity.cfg and checked devices immediately, still nothing there. I was hoping that installing with PulseAudio already installed would fix it. I did, however, record all the output from configuring, building, and installing. I have no idea how to r...
