Re: Audacity doesnt recongize file type of autosaved file

That file is corrupt. There is no data in it, just NUL bytes (binary zeros).

Re: Constant Static

No it is not. Even without the mic being plugged in the same thing happens. Sorry, but that doesn't make sense. You previously said: I get the sound of my voice also but it is almost inaudible My question is: If the microphone is not plugged in, can you still get the sound of your voice in the reco...

Re: Need help quantifying high frequency peaks
