are the "Signed" 8/16/24/32 PCM encoding integers? Yes they are. Audacity works internally with 32-bit floating point sample values (IEEE 754). This is a really nice format for working with audio. Sample values are literally numeric values. A signal level of 0 dB has a peak value of +/- 1...

The first thing to do is to look in the recording tab of the Windows Sound Control Panel and ensure that Windows is receiving a signal from the device. When you have established that Windows can see the device and is receiving a signal, then start Audacity and select the USB device in the recording ...

On Linux, exporting RAW signed 16-bit PCM data is little endian. I don't know if that's the same on other platforms. Time to get your Hex editor out I think ;) To check the data sample values within a track in Audacity, there is the "Sample Data Export" tool: http://manual.audacityteam.org...

Another thing is I found the "name track" function doesn't work as expected. When the text box pops up; upon trying to type a name into the box the keystrokes are read as shortcut commands. That's a bug. It's been fixed now, but I'm not sure if the fix is in the release version or just in...
