Check that all Windows Sound "Enhancements" are turned off (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq ... hancements)

Isn't that a little extreme? Which part? Using ZIP files counters many of the problems that we see when people move projects. It guarantees that the complete project arrives at the other end. Checksums are, as I mentioned, a bit OTT in most cases, but can be very useful when using less reliable dat...

I would like to obtain the values in decibels as a function of time on a doc Peak level or RMS? What sampling period do you need for your measurements? Once per second? More? Less?
