Do the reset of preferences in the installer and leave the host in Audacity Device Toolbar on MME. Leave the project rate bottom left of Audacity on 44100 Hz. What exactly are you trying to record, using what device? If the error opening persists, have a look at http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/...

I suggest you work through http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_errors.html#sound_device . If you are still stuck, please tell us exactly what sound device you are trying to play to (make and model number if it is an external device). Are you using that same sound device to play sounds in applic...

Thanks Gale, but I canot import *.dsf files even having instaled the library you indicated. Sorry. DSF is indicated as supported by FFmpeg here https://www.ffmpeg.org/general.html but looking at the FFmpeg Changelog , DSD decoding did not come in until version 2.3.

FLAC exports on Windows are limited to 2 GB in Audacity 2.0.5.

2.0.6 uses a later version of libflac and doesn't have that limitation.

What should happen, in your opinion?

I think Steve meant to set a custom shortcut for Loop Play if you need to (but not SPACE) and then use SPACE to stop normal play and Loop Play.
