Hallo I record at 44100 I installed the 8.66.4.0 fix and it solved the problem partly. I can now record in stereo. Mono still exactly the same. Stereo is loud and clear on 50% mic input Export a few seconds of bad mono recording in WAV in case it gives us any ideas. See How to post an audio sample ...

Hi Dick, We have fixes committed for this bug. There are no Mac nightly builds on homerow right now, but I've posted a build with this fix at http://gaclrecords.org.uk/test-builds/audacity-macosx-r53b8fd5-2.1.2-alpha-09-jan-16.zip . Could you give that a try with your routines in long tracks? Gale

We've given you all the advice we can, assuming you are not doing something silly like recording at way above 44100 Hz project rate. Check sound effects and enhancements. If that does not help, set Windows not to update hardware drivers as I showed you then install the WHQL driver from the Lenovo si...

So MediaInfo does not get as far as to know what codec the file is using. Actually, it does. For the corrupt files it does not, which was the MediaInfo output I quoted. I think you may probably be in the hands of the commercial repair vendors, though copying the data to a new container is bound to ...

Nothing unusual in your Audio Device Info that I can see, except that you don't apparently have an external mic device enabled. Assuming your computer has a mic port, you can enable it in Windows Sound. Just about anything will be better than the internal mic.
