Audacity Forum

I just updated to Audacity version 2.1.1 on two computers running OS X 10.10.4, and it works on one, but on the other, it won't even open. What Audacity version did you update from? I don't think it opens at all; when I click on it, the dock icon jumps up and down a few times (if I'm lucky) and the...

1) I deleted the settings directory, which had been generated by v2.0.6. 2) Started up v2.1.1, and entered the locations for the Lame and ffmgep libraries manually. 3) Closed 2.2.1 4) Started the old 2.0.6, which complained about missing libraries, now. 5) Entered, again, the right places where Lam...

Audacity would still be writing its configuration files there, so that could mean that for some reason it could not do so before. I'd rather suspect that v2.0.6 had written something that the new version did not like... But it was still liked when you were admin, presumably? There is always a chanc...

UPdate- I have a sample for you v2.1.1 MME 44100 32bit had to change the input in the software a couple more times and finally got signal but as you will hear yikes?!

I still don't know why the first time 2.1x wasn't offered but so be it. Please only download...

What I was asking and ask again is "what should I try next since the sample rate in default worked?" I have answered that twice already, in great detail the second time. Please read it. You will have to experiment with changing the host (and crucially, making the correct choices dependent...

Are you running an anti-virus application with real-time monitoring? It would be very desirable to do that on XP but it does slow the machine up. You should be running real-time protection on XP unless you disconnect the internet. If you are running real-time anti-virus, you could see if you can tel...

am I correct in thinking Linux is free? only I have been online looking and some are charging for it? The distributions one would recommend to someone new to Linux such as those based on Ubuntu are free. Most Linux distributions are free. A few Linux distributions are commercial or they charge if y...

Have you tried Go > Utilities > Disk Utility > then "Verify Disk" and "Repair Permissions"? No I didn't, but I have tried something else in the meantime: I've removed (actually: renamed) the directory where Audacity stores its settings: ~/Library/Application Support/audacity. Re...
