When you build from source, are you using the fullsrc or the minsrc? I am not clear on the difference, but one worked, and one didn't. (I believe it was the min that worked) Do you mean the full source didn't compile? The full source includes many more optional libraries (in the lib-src directory)....

It doesn't sound to me if you are using Audacity supplied by us (by which I mean, you are compiling our 2.0.2 tarball or the HEAD development sources). There is no bug that Recent Files is cleared out on restart (I just tested HEAD on Ubuntu). Obviously that will happen though if you have some progr...

I've tried both Line In and Primary Sound Capture Driver. None of them work; no sound shows coming into Audacity. Line-in does not record computer playback unless you connect a cable from the audio out to line-in. So you need to go into Windows and see if the sound device on your new computer has a...

I have used Audacity to import sound from a device that holds a tape casette. Once I have imported those audio files onto my Windows PC, I was then hoping to put them onto a CD. I press 'Play' on the device (I can hear the sound files playing) and then press the Record button on Audacity and I can ...

Then, after recording a piece I'd want to record a new track either all by itself while listening to the first one and subsequently mix them together and/or dub unto the first one. In any event as soon as I press the record button again I get this: Latency Correction setting has caused the recorded...

One previous suggestion was for there to be a pop-up warning if the user attempts to export when there are soloed tracks. What is your opinion on that idea? Aside from the fact that developers hate popup warnings (hence I am advocating warning text in the export dialogues instead), why warn about S...

This usually happens because you still have Audacity 1.3 Beta installed on your computer. Windows does not support having two executables named the same having the same file association. Uninstall or remove 1.3 or whatever earlier Audacity versions you have, unless you really need them (though this ...

Audacity cannot work with ASIO drivers unless you self-compile it with ASIO support. See http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/ASIO_Audio_Interface .

Please try rebooting the computer. It may well be all you need to do.

That line 166 disallows libsndfile handling OGG files due to a bug in libsndfile. As a hack just try removing or commenting the entire following block in ImportPCM.cpp: } else if (file && (info.format & SF_FORMAT_TYPEMASK) == SF_FORMAT_OGG) { // mchinen 15.1.2012 - disallowing libsndfile...

Try giving Audacity a .cfg file that disables VST and Audio Unit plug-ins. In Finder, Go > Go to Folder, type ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/ . Open audacity cfg to edit it, or if there is no audacity.cfg, create a new text file in TextEdit and save it as audacity.cfg. The content of audacit...
