Selected capture device: 2 - HDA Intel: ALC889 Analog (hw:0,2) Selected playback device: 14 - default Your recording ("capture") device is currently set to "HDA Intel: ALC889 Analog (hw:0,2)". That sets Audacity to record directly from the hardware (via ALSA) and bypasses PulseA...

In version 4 plug-ins we now have (get '*SELECTION*...

How do i see what exact format I import. Not with Audacity. I don't use Mac OS X, but for Windows and Linux you can right click on the file and view "properties", or for more detailed information use a third party application such as MediaInfo, dBPowerAmp or QuickTime. I want to make a ex...

The "factory default" is in
/var/tmp/audacity-username

See here in the manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/me ... tml#choice
Note that earlier versions of Audacity only had the full height "Combined Meter Toolbar". To check the Audacity version, look in Help > About Audacity.
