Windows 8 Audacity 2.1.1.exe I have a 50+ minute MP3 file that I imported to Audacity. When I play it in Audacity, it plays a loud screeching sound in about 10 seconds. Please help. I've never used Audacity before. Then it probably isn't really an MP3. You can try adding FFmpeg to your computer. Th...

Hi Paul, So if I understand correctly, you were able to get both SoundBlaster and Realtek recognised by Audacity, but SoundBlaster does not play audio even in Windows Media Player because you cannot find Windows 10 drivers for it? I don't have any other ideas about SoundBlaster given I don't know th...

This is a consequence of the major rework of effects for 2.1.0, and it's noted in the first yellow box at the top of the Release Notes 2.1.0.

As noted there, you can find the old shortcuts listed in the audacity.cfg file.

What I would suggest to try to avoid issues is to open the /Applications/Soundflower/ folder, double-click "Uninstall Soundflower.scpt" then in the window that opens, press the "Run" button. If you see "Done!" in the results, the script completed OK. Reboot the compute...

This is because 1.66b installs in ...

The bug was introduced in commit 1ccb738 on 12th September. https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/1ccb738 "Fix for project windows opening larger than available display space on OSX" Thanks for that, Steve. Still, that bug is (on Mac) arguably somewhat worse than the one we have now...

It is a long shot, but you could attach the AUTOSAVE file Audacity is trying to recover from. Use Go > Go to Folder in Finder and type this: ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/AutoSave The AUTOSAVE file is in that "AutoSave" folder. Gale Thank you for the reply. Sorry it took me so lo...

FWIW, this is the first time I've ever seen this issue. I've used various versions of Audacity in various sizes and haven't seen it until now, but maybe I just happened on the magic sizes each time. :) I can load the Sept 9th version along with the Oct 10 version and make them the same size, as wel...
