Bit of an update, when i try to record it asks me to select a recording device even though one is already selected or to choose a project rate, doing either lets me record, then when trying to playback it asks to select a playback device or rate, selecting one counteracts the other so i couldn't fo...

I am using Audacity 2.1.1. and Windows 7. After I have downloaded the LADSPA plugin from the below page, I still cannot see the plugin in the pull down menu. http://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/LADSPA_plugins-win-0.4.15.exe Have you used Effect > Manage... to open the Plug-in Manager dialogue then...

Your suggestion worked, chosing Windows DirectSound didn't help but WASAPI did, my balance setting is maintained.

I know I need LAME to make it work. But I get repeated messages to effect that you are linking to version XYZ wich will not wo...

So is it correct that you used Audacity before and all these problems started after reinstalling XP? We don't provide technical support for Audacity 1.x any more, and 1.3.9 probably has lots of bugs. So it is better to see if you can get later Audacity 2.x running. "Application configuration in...

It's worth enduring that equalizer-bug to have a version of Audacity which has the much-awaited real-time effect-adjustment , ( and better noise-reduction algorithm ). Come to think on it , I could use a VST plugin equalizer in the meantime until the bug is fixed, ( the VST settings are "remem...
