Audacity Forum

I searched but could not find anything on this. When this happens there is one back pointing arrow sitting at 0. I usually have to restart computer to get it to work again. How do I fix this without restarting. I sometimes get an error message. I did not right it down but will next time. Sorry. It ...

There is more than one version of WMA. Audacity with FFmpeg can import version 1 but I don' think the FFmpeg version that we use supports version 2. Audacity does not support DRM protected WMA files. You can check if FFmpeg is installed by looking in "Edit > Preferences > Libraries". The c...

Looking on Google, you're not alone. "What U Hear" recording not working seems to be a fairly common problem with the X-fi. Try deselecting "Digital In" as the default communication device. What have you got on the playback tab of the "Sound" panel? Were you playing any...

I doubt that it will make any difference, but it needs to be ruled out. Please disconnect your web cam and reboot again, then see if you can get Audacity to play back correctly. Also, ensure that you don't have Skype or other conferencing type software running - not even running in the background.

If you know some of them, can you tell me their names please.

We don't have any official video tutorials. There are quite a lot of video tutorials available on YouTube (and elsewhere on the Internet) but most of them are very poor, frequently using obsolete versions of Audacity and frequently inaccurate or just plain wrong! So please keep that in mind if you l...
