This might mean Pulse Audio is broken. Pulse Audio is the system audio mixing device (oversimplifying it). Sometimes installing Pulse Audio Volume Control (pavucontrol) can help, or you may want to reinstall Pulse Audio itself. Open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol If you need t...

Thanks for the report . As you'll know, 2.0.6 requires a later version of FFmpeg than 2.0.5. Audacity has been fixed so that if you run 2.0.6 or later after 2.0.5, the incompatible version of FFmpeg that was configured for 2.0.5 won't cause Audacity to freeze. We can't retrofix 2.0.5, so if you run ...

I have around 2000 (Two Thousands) tape cassette, I want to make them into mp3 or any digital form to listen from pc. Are they high quality recordings of music?

Audacity is running version 2.0.6, my Mac is Yosemite 10.10.2. I was not aware that Yosemite isn't supported. What are the chances of something like this being the root of the problem? It's slightly possible if you are recording into tracks that have already been used. You could drag 2.0.6 to trash...

removed cfg files This is the better method - worth trying. In Finder, Choose Go > Go to Folder and type: ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/ Open audacity.cfg if it exists, select all the text and delete it. If audacity.cfg does not exist, open a new file in TextEdit. Then type the following a...

this is way too many steps, considering how much I record, and how often I switch from recording back to regular Mac usage If the problem was not hearing sound in other apps after changing the system output device to Soundflower, the answer is to run Soundflowerbed, or use Sound Siphon, which avoid...
