Audacity Forum

Gale, you said my questions have been covered. Indeed, it's been suggested Audacity records after the signal has gone thru the DAC. This confirmed what I believed. My question to you, and a question I had previously asked but nobody was able to answer (and this is why I asked you directly,) is whet...

I have been having sound issues with audacity. When I have the turntable on and the arm in its rest, I get a lot of noice coming through my subwoofer. I have bose speakers too.

Gale, I did install the 64 bit drivers. When I look at the recording devices (right click speaker in system tray) I see 3 devices which are all disabled.

Firstly, if I bough...

I've been compiling my own Audacity (as I need ASIO support). It works great, but I'm curious about one thing. (I'm an old *nix geek but have never before even tried to compile anything on any flavor of windows). I'm using M$ Visual Studio 2008 Express, and even with every possible optimization set...

Confirmed on Linux with Audacity 1.3.10 beta and 1.3.11 alpha. It appears to be the same if you use any single letter for play/stop. I'll put in a bug report. Thanks, Steve. I've marked it as a P3 bug, as was the previous bug where using unmodified M for adding a label at the playback position adde...
