Audacity Forum

I made a few edits to a file and probably fiddled with something I shouldn't have as I tried to tone down the volume of an edit I inserted in the (spoken word) file. When I export to MP3, it is speeded up so I sound like a chipmunk. The file is also much smaller. What did I foul up? TIA. To correct...

This affects some users on Windows XP who downloaded 1.3.8 from us between 16th July 2008 and 24 July 2008 02:00 UTC. When launching Audacity, there may be an error message "incorrect configuration" (typically with code 14001). This was due to a bug in the Microsoft compiler we use, plus a...

There are some known problems with the 1.3.8 release - see this thread: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=11513 Your issue may well be related to this. WC It is the same issue that was causing 1.3.8 not to launch on some Windows XP machines. You can get the fixed installer and ...

Any chance you will fix this problem on your end (by recompiling or whatever) so that we don't have to do something to change Windows (or its files)? Just thought I'd ask. It seems that it'd be easier to put up a version that fixes this problem, rather than having everyone that wants to install 1.3...

Yes, the fix worked, however, once the program installs, I still had to reconfigure the "Open With" context menu...and that was another pain in the you know what until I discovered why it wouldn't open Audacity. Just in case someone who needs to know stumbles here, you need to go to the p...

Me too. Running XP Pro SP3. I've been using 1.3.7 with no major problems. 1.3.8 installed but won't open. Error message says: Unable to execute file: C:Program FilesAudacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode)audacity.exe CreateProcess failed; code 14001. This application has failed to start because the application...

Yes we have and I have done everything that was suggested in that prior posting to no avail. That was also for the 1.2 series and this issue now is with the 1.3.8 series. This time the issue is different and appears to NOT be an OLE issue. Fine, but until you tell us that, we don't know. The error ...

Thanks to everyone who tested Audacity in Dependency Walker. As it turns out, it does not show anything useful - Audacity will actually run without IESHIMS.DLL, WER.DLL, DWMAPI.DLL or EFSADU.DLL. These are inevitable over-reporting problems that you would expect with a dependency tool. I believe the...

We're sorry about this problem and are investigating it. It is almost certainly related to building Audacity with the Visual Studio 2008 compiler instead of Visual Studio 2005 which 1.3.7 is built with. This is why 1.3.8 does not support Windows 98/ME at present. The move to Visual Studio 2008 is es...

I downloaded 1.3.8 and it ran fine (the first time). I recorded a bit of audio and opened a VST - which showed up in its full GUI glory. (Thank you for that improvement.) However ... When I went to preview the VST Audacity crashed. After that, when I tried to open 1.3.8 again, it waited a long time...
