1.2.6 is years obsolete. See the pink panel at the top.

If this was a WAV or AIFF file you could try File > Import > Raw Audio... . I can't see Audacity has any other chance. If the encryption prevents the file being opened then Import Raw Audio won't help.

The settings are assumed stock and are "Audio To Buffer: 100ms, Latency Correction: -130ms". Looks like I'd have to change one of these by 100ms. [...] The original condition as posted and involving a +/- 100ms lead in the guitar track being recorded is unresolved and remains unchanged. L...

Do you have any idea why it is my USB mic picks up interference at 2 minute intervals from recording start in my new laptop, but not my old one? For a start, Blue mics do not officially support Windows 10. Have you tried 44100 Hz project rate bottom left of Audacity, Windows DirectSound host, then ...

So if I am recording using Windows WASAPI in WIN 7 using Audacity 2.1.1 does it make a difference what sound card I have as far as the quality of the recording is concerned? If Windows WASAPI is digital is it even passing through the sound card? I can't seem to find any info on how this Windows WAS...
