It certainly should not do that.

Try launching Audacity from a Terminal window (just type the word audacity and hit return).

One thing to be aware of with the Normalize effect in Audacity (and as far as I'm aware it is only Audacity that does this) is that Normalize operates on the left and right channels independently. In some cases this can be a good thing in that it can help to balance the left and right channels if th...

And while you're up there, get and install Audacity 1.3. Audacity 1.2 is really old and can be unstable on newer computers. Richard mentioned "win. xp-sp1- 112 mg ram 34 gig hard drive space" , so that's going to be a pretty old machine (and has very little RAM), so in this case I think t...

I just can't get Stereo Mix to do anything in Audacity. I think that's the bit we need to concentrate on first. So as not to complicate the issue with ASIO and VST, lets see if we can get Audacity to record anything from the Stereo Mix input. SoundMax might still have its own control panel in the W...

What do you get if you enter these commands into a terminal?
