Check near the bottom of the Transport menu and ensure that "Sound Activated Recording" is not selected.

I use a Forcusrite Saffire Pro 14 Firewire interface, but the drivers are installed properly because everything works fine. If i go to Control Panel -> Sound -> Recording, I can choose stereo mix, if I set these as default it doesnt get any signal thats coming in, even if I select the Microphone Sa...

Sorry about the delay approving your post. This site is used across all time zones and even the moderators need to sleep / eat / go to work / wash the dishes ... ;) We aim to approve posts within 24 hours - usually much quicker. Here it is.

What version of libsndfile do you have? I think that's the problem. ‘SF_STR_GENRE’ and ‘SF_STR_TRACKNUMBER’ are defined in libsndfile. They were introduced 1n 2010, which looks like it was an update to libsndfile1 version 1.0.23. If you are still on Lucid then you've probably got libsndfile1 versio...
