Is the problem with one specific project?

Extending a note without distortion. Select to highlight all of the note's current duration. Under Effects go to "sliding time scale/pitch shift". Set Initial Tempo Change to zero. Final Tempo Change determines the length of the note extension time. Moving the slider all the way to the le...

Just had a thought, please save and post the "Audio device info" (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/hel ... evice_info)

What about other applications? Do they have their menus at the top of the screen rather than the top of the application window?
