In Audacity Beta each week I export a 55MB file to a another condensed file at 16,000HZ Project Rate. It condenses the file to about 8 or 9 MB. In the past, it took about 8 or 9 minutes to export this file. About 2 weeks ago, I uninstalled my AVG anti-virus and installed the Avast anti-virus and fi...

Make sure you are using 1.3.12 Beta (Help > About Audacity); older versions may have bugs. When you say you extract the MP3 or WAV do you mean "export" or are are you burning to CD and listening to the result of that? In what application are you hearing the audio as mono? To satisfy yourse...

On the positive side, I can't recreate it in 1.3.13 alpha either. Let us know if the problem reappears in in 1.3.13 when you have Preferences set to "read directly". when I try to extend a small label backwards, I get an instant crash. I had that in both versions. Will try have rebuild th...

By all means do ALT + PrtScr to capture an image of the Audacity window and upload the image to your post (Upload Attachment underneath the Preview/Post Message buttons). Are you really sure you are using 1.3.12 (see Help > About Audacity)? Previous Betas had problems with desynchronised playing of ...

I need help having Audacity find my mic. Just recently installed Audacity and it did not pick up my mic for recording. I am using Microsoft Lifecam with built in microphone. Went to the toolbar where you can adjust mic and next to it is box for device. Mine is empty. You have to launch Audacity aft...

The shaded bars only occur when you use On-Demand Loading ; and if you set the Import/Export Preferences to "Make a copy of uncompressed audio files... (slower)" then On-Demand will be disabled. I suggest you try 1.3.13 alpha which has a possible fix for a few cases where on-demand computa...

Your zip works fine for me on WIndows 7 (not tested on XP yet). IE8 opens the locally installed index.html when I click Aide > Manuel in Audacity. Does it make any difference if you rename your "Help" folder to "help"? That is what the folder is called if you install the 1.3.12 e...

I highlighted the new audio to insert (which highlighted no labels because of its short duration between Time1 and Time2). When I copied it into the main audio track, at Time1, it moved lables L2 and L3 as desired. Excellent. HOWEVER, for some strange reason it craeated a second label L3, at Time1 ...

It's probably an iTunes file or a WMA file from WIndows Media Player. Audacity 1.2 can't open those. Convert the file to WAV in iTunes or SUPER, or install Audacity Beta and FFmpeg. Details are in this Frequently Asked Question.
