Does Linux support on Chromebook support duplex audio? ("duplex" = bidirectional at the same time)

If anyone can suggest why I should be noticing such a significant performance lag on Catalina compared to High Sierra, it would be much appreciated. I think that part of the problem is that Apple now use 10 bits per pixel per R G B rather than 8. This significantly slows down screen draws, though t...

But that process is the reason ACX Check exists. "How can I be sure I'm passing ACX Technical Standards?" OK, that's reasonable, though perhaps not possible with absolute certainty as we don't have access to their robot. What we can do is to have our own "robot" ("ACX-Check...

What does this legend represent -1 to +1 of what? This bugged me for ages when I started using Audacity. I still think that the +/- 1 scale is a bad choice (a dB scale would be much better), but the reason behind it is interesting. As you are probably aware, "signed 16-bit" audio data all...

I assume that if you export in any format (for example "WAV" format), then the exported file plays back normally. Is that the case?

my audacity project is currently stored in a storage drive with a usb plug to connect into my laptop. its probably called an external hard drive having just looked on amazon. Just making a note of that for now. External storage devices are not recommended when working on projects, but this may be i...

In the Device Toolbar the "host" should normally be "ALSA". Other options will appear if other sound systems are available, but usually "ALSA" is the only option.

What devices (Recording and Playback) do you have selected in the Device Toolbar?
