So you are no longer using Linux Mint as per your last post http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?t=65334#p178809 ? (You did not reply to Steve's answer there). DId you install Audacity from the repository or compile the source code? What are the three numbers you see for Audacity version at H...

I have installed the driver for my prolectrix usb turntable onto windows 7 and i am following the instructions in the manual that came with it but i have hit a problem.When i get to the edit part it tells me to go into preferences and then into recording which i do and then it tells me to open the ...

Only the line-in of the computer is suitable. Choose line-in in Device Toolbar ( http://manual.audacityteam.org/help/manual/man/device_toolbar.html ) . Click Transport > Software Playthrough in Audacity so you can hear what you are recording. if you still get "error opening sound device" t...

For the sake of completeness, you should reset Audacity settings to Audacity defaults. This is done not by re-installing Audacity, but by quitting it and editing the audacity.cfg settings file.

Hi, Big fan of Audacity - but the biggest problem I'm having is that whenever I want to enter a label in the label track, the program inevitably stops responding. I wait, 30 seconds later it'll come back to life, but the screen will have moved toward the beginning of the track. A bug worth fixing? ...

UPDATE: I ran a complete system driver update on my Dell Precision 690 computer (which I had bought used and refurbished). I even ran a lost files restoration. I ultimately ran an update of the computer's audio files. Yet, despite all that, I STILL cannot record anything on Audacity. The culprit ap...
