Audacity Forum

Paul you didn't provide any info about your system so it's hard to suggest any ideas... What operating system do you have? Which Audacity version? What's your recording source? How do you have it connected to the computer?

That is odd. You seem to have tried it from all angles so I can't really offer any advice. Then don't. Do I uninstall the beta version of audacity and install 1.2.x ? also does it work in windows 7? Thanks. No, the recommended version for windows 7 is 1.3.12. Audacity 1.2.x is old and known not to ...

(moving to the windows forum...)

For menus missing check this topic: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 18&t=48779

For the floating toolbars, just drag them back into the window. Or go to View menu -> Toolbars -> Reset toolbars

You probably meant 1.3.12-beta, right?
