Audacity Forum

Didn't think to post this for some reason :) It can be quite a handy little tool, but a lot of people don't know it is there. It's one of those things that isn't at all useful, until it is :D Currently the settings in the Device Toolbar are: host: WASAPI Recording Device: 19 Device name: Speakers (...

There are currently no plans to support Jack on Windows.
Have you tried Jack on Windows 10?

Please check if the bug is reproducible with the current Audacity 2.3.3 (https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/)
If it is, then post the ZIP file here.

The first one appears to be a Native Instruments "stem" file. The only applications that I'm aware of that properly support this format are applications from NI: https://www.stems-music.com/ The other files are AAC format, but I can't see if the files have the correct file extension (the p...

The current version of Audacity is 2.3.3.
I don't know why you are getting the error, but there have been a number of fixes between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3, so perhaps worth trying the later version. You can get it via the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/mac/

When I drag and drop files into Audacity, the files load to approximately 75% and then Audacity crashes to desktop.

How many files?
How big are the files?

I am using Ubuntu 19.10 Desktop and Audacity 2.3.3 (installed from the Ubuntu software repository). Do you use PulseAudio? (It is the default sound server in Ubuntu). With a properly working default Ubuntu installation, you should at least see an option for "Pulse" in addition to "de...
