For some reason, saving was disabled. Are you using Audacity 2.0.5 from http://audacityteam.org/download/mac ? Are you using a USB recording device? You should connect USB devices to a spare USB port on the computer, not share the USB port with other devices. This helps to avoid recording freezes. ...

I was having trouble compiling Audacity 2.0.5 which I attempted because running Audacity on Ubuntu 12.04 installed through the Software Center was failing with an ELFCLASS32 error referencing libid3tag.so.0 Please report that 12.04 issue to Ubuntu at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu . Packaged bui...

Are you quite sure you uninstalled 2.0.4 and that you don't have 2.0.4 or another version somewhere else for example in your startup menu so that it launches when you log in? Choose "Uninstall a program" in the Windows Control Panel and uninstall all versions of Audacity. Run Task Manager,...

I looked over and over again for the config file where you said it should be but I can't find a configuration file at all for audacity. (No audacity folder under application support) Mac hides the user Library but it is there. You actually have to choose the Go menu at the top of Finder, choose Go ...

I'm using version 2.0.5 with a track ball. Mac 10.7.5. So is this still a problem? If so, is this a "Mighty Mouse" without an explicit left or right button, instead relying on touching the left to left-click? What about the Audacity input or output sliders or the zoom buttons - can you op...

If Windows sees the USB device, choose Transport > Rescan Audio Devices from the menu at the top of Audacity, or restart Audacity. Audacity cannot see the USB device if you plug it in after starting the program. If Windows does not see the device, the usual solution is to change the USB cable to one...

As Koz says, most built-in sound cards on Windows laptops are varying degrees of rubbish, but it is cheap and effective to upgrade to a USB sound card. But you should definitely turn off Windows recording enhancements , and make sure the Default Format in Windows Sound for the mic input is set to 44...
