I don't want to write a software to interface with the sound card driver I'd certainly agree there - it's not something that I'd like to try either. .... to access audio samples. Audacity is designed to do so. but that's not really what you are doing - it is not "audio", it's "encode...

As many users use Audacity for multi-track projects, it would get extremely confusing if each track had it'...

I checked my preferences again, and I don't seem to actually have the option you're talking about. Oh :? Newsflash: Audacity 1.3.11 was released today. I'm not aware of anything that specifically relates to the problem that you are having, but it does include several important bug fixes (and it sho...
