Re: Is there a setting in Windows for line in

I have a Behringer UB2004 mixing desk connected to a Behringer UCA 202 with a pair of leads from the "Main" out of the desk to the inputs of the UCA 202. The UCA 202 is connected to my Acer Aspire 5735 laptop via the USB output of the UCA 202 into the middle USB socket on the laptop. The o...

Re: Opening project hangs Audacity 1.3.7

I'm still not able to create the freeze reliably, but the process does produce orphaned block files quite regularly. I'm passing this over to the developers now - let's see what they make of it.

Re: Opening project hangs Audacity 1.3.7

Congratulations, you seem to have found a bug. I'm not yet able to reproduce it reliably, but I can reproduce it sometimes. I'll play with this a bit more and see if I can find the missing piece that makes it happen every time and then pass it on to the developers for fixing. (I've also managed to m...

Re: Problem with converting zip file to WAV

"Zip" is not an audio format, it is a format for data compression. (I'm quite surprised that you got anything meaningful from the zip file). The music file is compressed inside the "zip" file (like squashing it into a small container). In order to use the audio file you need to &...
