Audacity Forum

I'm on Ubuntu 9.04 with ALSA, PulseAudio and Jack installed. With Audacity 1.3.9 and 1.3.10 (cvs) I can get Audacity to work with Jack, but only if I follow a rather convoluted path.

I presume that you are trying to record sounds that are playing on your computer (such as sounds playing in your web browser).

Will I have to run that particular build in any "compatibility mode" or is that not needed? Short answer - I don't know (I don't use Windows 7 - I try to avoid Windows ;) ) Longer answer - Try it without compatibility mode, but if you get "Runtime Error Program: (location) R6034"...

I've no idea about Windows 7, but on Vista the Audacity 1.3.x version cooperates with the OS much better than 1.2
Vista did not exist when the 1.2 version was written.

Which version of Audacity (look in "Help > About Audacity...") ?
What operating system / service pack?
