instead of, as in my case, chromium

Oh dear, that was unlucky. I've never previously seen that happen, but it's easy to prove that it can occur.
I'll log this issue on Audacity's issue tracker.

Also "Audio Hijack" can not record RME Babyface Pro under Catalina

Which version of Audio Hijack?

So that we can see what's happening in Audacity, please save an "Audio device info" file (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/hel ... stics.html) and attach the file to your reply (viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936).

Glad to hear that you have at least got some of it.

My guess is that some security product is preventing the installation being registered.

To cover all bases, when was the last time you did a full scan with an up to date, reputable virus scanner?

Super. That's a good original file. then right as it appears to finish it pops up and says RegSetEx failed. Error Code 5. Is that the full and complete message "RegSetEx failed. Error Code 5"? Is your computer behaving normally other than that? What security products do you have installed?

Is there any easy way to recover this? Probably not. If it was a fresh, unedited recording, then there's a slim chance of recovery (but not easy). If the project has been "worked on" (editing / processing), then no chance. Unfortunately it sounds like you are on the "no chance" ...

Thanks for this! But I do not get the box popping up when I open Audacity that asks for permission to use the microphone, and when I go to System Preferences, Audacity doesn't show up in the list!

Do these steps work for you: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=107162

So that there is no confusion, what is the SHA256 of your "audacity-win-2.3.3.exe" file?

To record with WASAPI loopback, there needs to be something playing through the audio device that you are using.
