Can you give exact steps to reproduce the problem. I'm testing with "Audacity 2.2.0-alpha-Jul 3" Debug build on Linux, and I see no problem.

What happens if you reset preferences and use the default location for the temp folder?
To reset preferences, reinstall Audacity from the exe and select the option to reset preferences when it appears during the installation. On first run after installing, confirm that you wish to reset preferences.

I've also started experiencing this problem of the recording not starting if there's no sound when using WASAPI That's supposed to happen. If there is nothing playing, then there should be no audio stream, and if there is no audio stream then there is nothing to record. If recording happens when no...

When i look in the recording tab of the Windows Sound Control Panel and talk into the mic, i don't see a green meter jigging up and down as I speak.

I am using mobile earphones with mic(samsung). Plugged in the jack for mic.... Is that one jack for mic and headphones combined, or two jacks, one for mic and one for headphones? Are you recording on a laptop or a full size computer? What audio jack sockets does it have? Does it have two jack socke...

Musicians need ASIO because its very low latency. Low latency is irrelevant for Audacity as Audacity does not support virtual instruments. Most good audio devices support zero latency monitoring (hardware monitoring) which does not require ASIO (because it is hardware). So, if the Audacity develope...

Testing the current 2.2.0 alpha development code, the case of overwriting an existing file is already handled quite well. "Cancel" does cancel the operation and the file that was being overwritten is restored. This is arguably the more important case as it's worse to 'accidentally' lose da...
