Re: NO SOUND AFTER RECORDING USING Win 8

Re: Audacity plays songs way too fast

If Audacity was installed from the Ubuntu repository then it should have automatically installed the correct version of ffmpeg (because Libav is listed as a dependency). Audacity sometimes play certain songs way too fast, with weird noises, but at other times plays just fine. What files? Are the fil...
