When you say "way too fast", how much "too fast" do you mean? 10% too fast? 50%? 1/4 speed? 10x , 20x too fast?

If you import a 'known-to-be-good' audio file into Audacity, does it play correctly?

Windows may have just hidden the option (quite common) or there may have been an update that removed the option (sadly not uncommon either). See here for how to un-hide the option if it is hidden, and some workarounds if the option is not available with your new Windows set up. http://wiki.audacityt...

With the default settings it won't but if the minimum duration of silences is reduced (as may be necessary to aid detection) then it could occur quite frequently....

Menu The menu headers after some editing and many different windows opening and closing will wind up with only 'Fi ' of file will be visible. The rest of the memu headers are gone and the links with them. It means I will have to save my work and back out of Audacity and reenter. If I have several o...
