Audacity Forum

Windows is Win 7 and Win 8. Audacity is 2.1.0 and 2.0.3 wich comes with USB capture device. Sorry, I do not fully understand what you mean with this: Try restarting the computer more often. Try a higher "Audio to buffer" setting in Audacity's Recording Preferences. I have not difficultys ...

I don't have an extensive knowledge of how to use Audacity, but I was using it just fine for months before the Windows 10 update. Once I updated, I can no longer record audio with my USB microphone while at the same time playing an existing track in the project. I have to have a completely clean pr...

I disapproved the duplicate topics you started about this. Please, post once only and wait for a response to that question. It is too confusing for everyone otherwise. Yes Gale, I did what you said to no avail. Please tell us exactly what you did that did not help. Has this problem only just started...

Nice also to know why Windows will stop the recordign sounds. Earlier I have used Audacity not with USB and that poblem do not exist there. You forgot to give us your Audacity version and version of Windows. See the pink panel at the top of the page. Try restarting the computer more often. Try a hi...

But why do you need 16-bit float instead of 16-bit integer? Audacity cannot export 16-bit float. It does exist ftp://ftp.fox-toolkit.org/pub/fasthalffloatconversion.pdf but as far as I know you would probably have to run some command-line algorithm or some code inside a programming environment to do...

What patch are you referring to ? I'm not aware of a patch to make input mapping possible on the Mac. As I wrote in http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=219227#p219227 : I do suggest you post in http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=206661#p206661 encouraging the developer to resum...
