Audacity Forum

If you need to pull the files into Audacity to work on reducing noise anyway, this won't help you timewise... However... for the absolutely best (and free) audio converter out there... try dBPowerAmp. It has downloadable codecs for just about everything, and it offers right click capability so that ...

It sounds as if Media Player thinks another program has the file "open".

See if you can make a copy of it, and play the copy.

Try another audio player like WinAmp and see if that plays the file.

Assuming you have a stereo line-in, you can first import a wav file into Audacity, and while playing it record two additional tracks. The timing/synchronization will probably be a little bit off, but this can easily be corrected as documented in this forum and in the tutorials. You can do this again...

Many soundcards have a built in mixer, to mix various sources. "wave" files being played by some window's application, microphone, CD Player, line In, etc. If you search your soundcard/volume interface, you will probably find this mixer. "Stereo Mix" would refer to this. "What you hear" would often ...

Both microphone inputs are almost certainly the same input... just two different jacks. If your soundcard as a "line-in", that's a stereo (2 track) input, and that could be used to record two different signals. Most microphone signals are lower levels than line-in signals, but you probably could get...

I did a quick google -- both web and google groups -- on the phrase, "could not find the MEDIA device for this driver" (use quotes) and "Sound Card". I found quite a few people with the same problem... interestingly enough the few I looked at all had HPs (desktop and laptop) and were talking about t...

Edit Preferences...

Under "Recording"... select 1 Channel (Mono)

I just tried it with my Delta 1010LT and it records one mono channel (must be input #1)

What's the details on your computer/motherboard? Drivers/Install-programs were probably included, or available from the vender. Check in your CMOS setup, and make sure that the on-board sound device is enabled. Some BIOS allow disabling of the on-board soundcard there. You might while you're at it l...
