All I am doing is pressing the record icon to record sound from what is being received on screen over the internet. We have a tutorial for that: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_windows.html . If you are using Windows WASAPI (loopback) to record, try reco...

I upgraded from 2.1.0 to 2.1.2. I have uninstalled/deleted and installed 2.1.0 and 2.1.1, but all come up with the error message. I only get the one error message. Then that suggests that something has gone wrong with your system. Have you made system changes or modified the CPU or motherboard or a...

What version of Audacity? Give us all three numbers from Audacity > About Audacity... . What exactly is via USB? Show us a link where we would obtain it. If you connected the USB after launching Audacity, use Transport > Rescan Audio Devices in the Audacity Menu Bar. You may need to set up USB audio...

Is the mic standards compliant (plug and play) on Windows? If it requires drivers on Windows it may not work o...

You can run two Audacity instances (but not currently on Windows) by adding a "Portable Settings" folder to one of the folders Audacity is run from. What I meant was the ability to run two Audacity instances at the same time. Yes I know that is what you meant. Have you tried creating the ...

But it does beg the question why is the command in the File Nenu rather than the Edit menu? I.e. why is it not Edit > Metadata Tags? Apart from "Preferences" (which most applications list in the "Edit" menu - usually at the bottom), all other menu items in the Edit menu are (or ...

For months, I have been able to very easily import audio files from iTunes into Audacity for editing purposes with 1 or 2 clicks at the most. Since I updated to new 2.1.2, when I go to File/Import/Audio, my file choice shows document files instead of music files. I change the folder to Music and ge...

I think I have it now. The software that controls my soundcard is called "Dell Audio" I experimented with LEVELS >> External Microphone. It is odd, there is a slider to set level but on top of that there is a feature to add a Microphone Boost of 0, 10, 20dB and so on. It was defaulted at ...
