the analog turntable output drives my speakers just fine Then as Doug said, if you have a tower computer with a blue line-in port, you could connect the analogue turntable output to the computer and record from line-in. Or it "might" work if you have a mic input but it is one of the low q...

I meant *internal* speakers that might be sounding despite you have headphones plugged in. You can configure sound in Windows Sounds and Audio Devices . Also look in the Windows Control Panel for a Realtek Control Panel - perhaps it has some configuration option to include background sound when reco...

I investigated the issue five years ago, when I had recently switched from Windows XP to Ubuntu Linux (which I later left for its lighter variant Lubuntu). If you're interested in the matter (and you have time to waste reading my rather long-winded posts), you could have a look at this bug report I...

If it's possible to inform me when the bug is fixed, I would very much appreciate it. The bug is fixed, but the fix is not yet in a release. We do not expect to release 2.1.3 for another two or three months yet. If you sign up to our announcements e-mail list at http://lists.audacityteam.org/cgi-bi...

Very occasionally, some songs have only exported with a size of a few kilobytes and a length of zero. As far as the file is concerned, all are on one track, the label appears to be a label only and not a region.

There is a plugin that can expand silences that already exist in the track, but like Generate, this modifies t...

Can you describe all the audio ports and their colours on this XP machine? I don't understand why "Realtek HD Front Green Jack" is described in the Audio Device Info as a recording device. Green audio ports should be for playback. Are there any built-in speakers on this machine? There do n...

Generally, Audacity "should" be able to immediately see headphones that you connect to a built-in audio port while Audacity is running, but it definitely does not always work, and I would not jump to the conclusion that it is an Audacity problem. If the built-in device was disabled previou...

BTW, MME, DirectSound and WASAPI: Yes, it's 16-bit 44100 Hz only internally. I read something similar, too. But the fact that using MME we get 96 and even 192 kHz recordings (but 16 bit only) tells me, that you shouldn't believe everything you read (or you shouldn't believe that you understand what...
