Re: PortAudio + WASAPI how to record from speakers?

Do these diffs help:
http://code.google.com/p/audacity/source/detail?r=12233 ?

There is no-one on the Forum skilled at audio I/O programming (no developers regularly read the Forum).

You might also read the MSDN documentation on loopback - it's a Windows feature that Audacity is using.

Re: Audacity 2.0.3 Can't figure out "sample data export" fea

As you suspected, the complete path to that file contained a language other than English. After I changed the path so that English is the only language that is included, everything worked out. OK. So I am clear, was that a problem with the path of the file you were writing the sample data to, or a ...

Re: Cannot install Audacity 2.0.4

Choose Edit > Preferences then "Libraries" on the left. If you see v3.99.3 for MP3 Library Version and you can export MP3 then it's working.

Re: USB Cassette Capture doesn't record on Macbook

Thanks a lot for going extra length to help me out. I understand your point very well now. I used my old dell laptop with my portable cassette recorder and an audio cable rather than the USB cable - connected to the microphone port, and it did work excellently. If it really was a microphone port (r...

Re: USB Cassette Capture doesn't record on Macbook

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/sp649 your model only has a built-in microphone, so it is not an input you can attach a line-level cable to from the tape deck headphones. Your headphones port can be used as a microphone if you have an Apple headset, and could be used for an external mic wit...

Re: Using Audacity to limit dynamic range of Garage Band fil

I rarely use that tool and in fact had v1.1 which seems to need two passes to get the maximum amplitude down to the requested amount (at least with the audio I was using, which had a peak at -0.1 dB). v1.2.6 which I linked to seems much better in that respect. One pass should be the better advice, i...

Re: Problem compiling audacity with asio support

Thanks for the log. It shows LAME and FFmpeg were loaded in about 40 seconds. Are you determining that Audacity has loaded when your screen reader says "Audacity"? Are you importing a long WAV file when you start Audacity? Have you tried either installing FFmpeg normally as per http://manu...

Re: Audacity 2.0.4 still crashes

Looks like success, doesn't it? Thanks for testing. It's better than 2.0.4 for many people, so it seems, but not a complete fix. Anyone else feeling like testing is encouraged to try: Believed free of the bug: http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/audacity-macosx-ub-1.3.10.zip Crashes for most on im...

Re: Loss of stereo and underwater distortion

I used to have a C-Media USB card that called itself "C-Media PCI USB Audio" in the device list, so I guessed dch222's was USB :shock: I lost a channel on my mother board sound about a year ago, and rather than get it fixed I just bought a simple sound card to plug into a PCI slot. It has ...

Re: AIFF files will not play on iPod, will on iTunes

Would be nice if RiffPad and old iPod followed that wouldn't it:
If ckData is an odd number of bytes long, a 0 pad byte follows which is not included in ckSize.
