Audacity Forum

I'm not sure why but I think it just may have been a bug or maybe a problem with my mic. Perhaps the mic's USB plug was not very secure in the USB socket? Also not that USB devices can disconnect themselves if the computer's CPU goes too high. Audacity is unlikely to produce high CPU load, but othe...

Are your headphones plugged into the mic?


Check that "Software Playthrough" is turned off (not selected) in the Transport menu.

Are the any other alternatives? Is there an Audacity for Chrome OS? There is not Audacity for Chrome OS, but there is Audacity for Mac (macOS) and Audacity for Linux. The logical alternative is Windows 10. I am however worried that with Windows 10 updating all the time, the it will in the end becom...

What audio devices are you using (recording and playback)? Exact make + model number if possible.

So I can use audacity If I update that "Microsoft c++ redistributable for visual studio" right?

may I ask if there is any code to implement virtual surround sound in audacity's source code

Exporting directly from Nyquist is " possible " but it's quite tricky, very "technical", and not very user friendly. (There's an example of exporting text files in the "Sample Data Export" plug-in - exporting audio files is even more tricky because you have to also hand...

The "latest version" plug-in in this post should help with the tone generation. (Ignore the filters - they are just to make the waveforms prettier)

Did I mention that the 3rd channel of an audio file is a mix between the left and right (if stereo)? No you didn't, but that answers one of my questions :-) If possible, could I save 3-Channel audio files Unfortunately that is not currently possible with Macro commands. Is that a deal breaker for y...
