Open the "Directories" Preferences again. What does it say for "Location" of "Temporary files directory"?

When export audio to 'external program' the wav header is wrong in srcexportExportCL.cpp the line 394 must be (instead the commented): // header.blockAlign = wxUINT16_SWAP_ON_BE(header.bitsPerSample * header.channels); header.blockAlign = wxUINT16_SWAP_ON_BE(SAMPLE_SIZE(int16Sample) * header.channe...

This is the layout. When I select and install...libavformat-52.dylib It appears to work. Good. As the Manual says. The in-built install instructions are wrong. They aren't built-in instructions. The text for the library that "Audacity needs" is dynamic. It should default to "libavfor...

I do have access to a G4 running 10.4, FWIW. Let me know if you'd like me to coax my coworker away from his desk for a few minutes.) Thanks for testing. I would assume you'd see the same crash on that G4. It would only be interesting if it did not crash, which would suggest PPC Mac isn't the proble...

Thanks for all the work, Steve. I am still digesting it all and playing with my artificial tone scenarios at the moment :ugeek: If the sound starts before zero, then I'm not sure if it is "correct" or not for the first label to start before zero. I would think that in this case the label s...

If you switched between MME and Windows DirectSound in Audacity, this only changes the protocols with which ...

@alterbentzion: have you tried installing FFmpeg then use File > Import > Audio in Audacity and choose "FFmpeg-compatible files". This will use a different importer to import the files.

Thanks, Bill. I have seen one other report of crashes importing MP3 files where those "guess_file_type" errors occur. He was on OS X 10.4.11 so quite likely PPC Mac, but I don't know.
