Re: Increase sound volume

So is there a way to get even more vol ? In the Limiter, increase the "Input Gain" and/or decrease the "Limit to" setting. If it is a stereo track, both *Left and Right" Input Gain settings should be the same. If the track is mono, only the first (Input Gain, Left/Mono"...

Re: Audacity 2.1.2 Alpha - Window size not remembered

I'm also seeing the main Audacity window opening at the wrong size on Linux (Xfce Desktop). If the window was maximised when Audacity was closed, then Audacity correctly opens maximised. When Audacity was not maximised when closed, the the x/y coordinates are correctly restored (providing that the x...

Re: Audacity does not keep the integrity of wav files

As you say, exporting as 16-bit WAV format is not "bit perfect", but the difference in terms of sound quality is negligible. This behaviour is normal for Audacity. The reason that it happens is because Audacity works in 32-bit float format, which is a more precise format than "normal&...

If your sound card drivers are fully compatible with Windows 10, there should be no problem. If they're not, then Audacity will probably not run. See: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 46&t=86814

Re: 2.0.2 Win10 Two minutes of audio corrupted

The "talking into a fan"effect is what we call "skipping". It happens during recording when some part of the computer system is struggling to keep up with the data being recorded. A common cause for this is running other applications at the same time, particularly applications th...

Re: Changing speed by exact samples

I'm running 2.1.1 audacity on Windows 8.1 Thanks. It is a bug in this version of Audacity. Unfortunately it is unlikely to be fixed in 2.1.2 because we are so close to the scheduled release date, but it should be fixed in the following version. The problem is that the speed change is being rounded ...

Re: Changing speed by exact samples

Which exact version of Audacity are you using? (look in "Help > About Audacity"). Which version of Windows? I think that you may be running into a bug, but to confirm that, and then be able to log the bug so that it can be fixed, I need the version number. As a workaround, running this cod...
