i tried stereo mix, the recorded auadio sounds quiet hollow and distorted Have you turned off Transport > Software Playthrough? If so, post an example of what it sounds like. See How to post an audio sample . if i use Windows WASAPI loopback it will record the audio but not play it back At its simp...

I quite like the idea of showing shortcuts in toolbar tooltips but one of the developers does not, preferring help buttons. So the experiment with showing shortcuts in tooltips for Transport Toolbar has not been extended. Do you mean he prefers context-sensitive help--first clicking a help button, ...

Try different hosts in Device Toolbar (setting Exclusive Mode accordingly in Windows Sound), matching sample rates, turn off software playthrough and so on. See http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_errors.html#sound_device and http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Windows_7_OS#sample_rates (which pr...

Unfortunately Sound Siphon free version has now become a demo with the restriction that filtering is applied to the recording from time to time.

We definitely have a pattern here - I've been looking at this all day. Plug in an ASIO USB soundcard and Audacity does not "see" any MME, WASAPI or DirectSound drivers/devices. Unplug and Audacity comes up. By "ASIO USB soundcard" do you mean just Toneport at the moment? reinsta...

I have just downloaded and installed the last driver from Realtek site (R2.79). It doesn't work.

If you have not already done ...

After spending a very long time recording and editing a cover of a song on Audacity, I tried to export it but in doing so, every single track became a flatline. When I play back it is completely silent. Any export is also silent. Is there a fix for this? I spent a lot of time on this song. Please s...
