Please work through http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/FAQ:Errors#sound_device . Can you record from your microphone? If yes, it could be a specific setting with stereo mix in Windows "Sound". Have you tried Windows WASAPI host instead to record computer playback? See: Tutorial - Recording...

I also process with another plug-in for EQ (I like the KarmaFX 31 band EQ from this plug-in pack: http://karmafx.net/?id=1) and sometimes a light De-Esser too (depends on my narrator) If I want the de-Esser, I use the LISP version (http://sleepytimedsp.com/software/lisp/).

Please don't download generic drivers from Realtek which are not matched with your motherboard. That will only make your problems worse. Uninstall Realtek, completely shut down the computer and restart it. If the "Microphone" shows in Windows "Sound" and Audacity sees that microp...

This isn't any known Audacity problem. I would right-click over C:WindowsSysWOW64 > Properties, and look at the "Security" tab. Make sure all groups you are a member of have the "Allow" boxes checked. If the problem persists, reboot into the admin account, delete the build folder...

I want to make each song the same volume. For some reason I have one or two songs within my library that are either louder or quieter than some others, and can make you jump when a new song comes on and is much louder than the others.! So basically I want to batch the whole lot at once and make the...
