Re: Large sections of my project dissapears after saving

I had a look on the Norton web site. My guess is that the feature causing the problem is: "PC Tuneup removes unnecessary files to free up storage space and improve hard drive speed and reliability." It looks to me like Norton 360 is seeing the Audacity "temporary" files and, thin...

Re: Samson C01U Stand Recommendation?

Any idea where I can get an inverted tripod? In its simplest form, 3 hooks screwed into the ceiling, arranged in a triangle. Three boot laces (one per nail) and the other end of each boot lace securely tied to the rim of the spider. The "legs" of the tripod (the boot laces) do not need to...

Re: Samson C01U Stand Recommendation?

Re: Sudden stopping

Re: No Playback sound

Check the obvious things first. Check that everything is plugged in securely. Try rebooting the computer. If you're using headphones, check the headphones plugged into something else (CD player, iPod, anything). Check whether you are getting sound from other programs (Windows Media Player, YouTube,....

Re: Pass Through Sound

Ok, I used the latest 2.x from apt and that is not the latest stable it seems. The Audacity version in Mint 16 is 2.0.3 (by coincidence I installed Mint for someone earlier today). The current version of Audacity is 2.0.5. There is no official repository version for Mint with Audacity 2.0.5. It som...

In fact it has always been a problem on Linux.
As soon as you activate the pass through it will not record in stereo period.
It is not an intrinsic problem on Linux. It works fine for me on Debian.
Have you tried what I suggested yet?
