the clipping indicators just do not work in 16bit mode But you agree they work when playing 16-bit audio that is over 0 dB? Presumably no-one else on Mac has this problem or they would have spoken. I have not tried it. It makes no difference what the mixer volume says. It is the amplitude the wavef...

Are you saying you are recording the CD? Don't do that. Extract the files from the CD to WAV then import the WAV files. See Tutorial - How to import CDs.

If you are recording something else using the internal microphone or a computer mic, try turning off Windows sound enhancements.

The file is just garbled voice on Windows, even in VLC. MediaInfo on Windows gives the correct length of just over 5 seconds and that length is consistent with the file size if it really is PCM audio.

If you can export it as a listenable WAV file in other applications, obviously do that.

If you did the correct thing and exported WAV files as project backups, I recommend importing those. WAV files are a single item and completely portable between different drives and modern operating systems Is the problem to do with WAV files that you imported into the projects in the first place be...

What files are you trying to open? An AUP Audacity project file you saved? An MP4 file from iTunes? If you are using File > Open Recent, Audacity does not keep track if you delete, move or rename the files you previously used in Audacity. You can still use File > Open... or File > Import > Audio... ...

If it is wind noise you may be able to somewhat reduce the noise with Noise Reduction or Noise Removal (in the Effect menu).

Audacity can only use the recording devices that Windows presents. If no recording devices are available in Windows then Audacity does not show any recording devices for MME and Windows DirectSound hosts. Did you install some software that changes audio devices, such as Skype? Was there a Windows Up...

Leveler has now been removed from 2.1.3-alpha. It is a mistake that it is still available in the Effect Menu, but that problem is logged at http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1453 . I don't have a problem running the Nyquist Comb filter or Nyquist Pseudostereo in Oct 4th 2016 2.1.3-alp...

The (potential) problem with suddenly increasing latency has existed ever since we added WASAPI support, but not everyone experiences it all the time. Generally MME and Windows DirectSound have about the same latency on Vista and later. That latency is higher than what WASAPI should deliver when it ...

It seems Audacity takes control of the output volume on all devices: built-in internal speakers, USB headset, etc. For example, after having used Audacity with built-in internal speakers output checked in, when I try to listen through the USB headset, there is no sound at all. I must open an audio ...
