Does anyone know why I would be getting this error? The error message is most likely to be because your computer's version of "Microsoft C++ Redistributable" is out of date. You can get it from Microsoft here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-...

I wish I had the answer because I have the exact same problem. Did you ever get it fixed?

See this post: viewtopic.php?p=387231#p387231

on my PC I installed 2.3 which does not have the option of changing to Mono after inverting. Where is the Mono option since it is not on the dropdown menu for each track? Please read the other replies in this thread. Also, the dropdown track menu for Audacity 2.3.3 is documented here: https://manua...

Windows and Ubuntu have separate installations, both on the C drive in their respective partitions. So there's no removal of discs. What I'm wondering, is if Windows is "locking" the external drives in some way. That's why I suggested doing a "safely remove" in Windows (to unmou...

A few apps can read both, in which case yo...

When you last logged out of Windows, did you "safely remove" the drives and completely shut down Windows? If not, try that, then boot into Linux and see if there's any difference.

After about 25 or more seconds it STOPS recording.

How consistent is the time before stopping? Is it always very close to 25 seconds or does it vary a lot?

What precisely happens when it "stops"?

What are you recording? What equipment are you using?

First thing, I would recommend NOT opening Audacity Projects directly from an external drive. External drives are great for reading / writing big files, but not so good for low latency access of thousands of tiny files (such as Audacity data). They should be fine for importing / exporting audio file...
