Please forgive my ignorance in almost all aspects of this. I am using a Chromebook, so I downloaded audacity 2.4.2 as a linux app (if it means anything, I used the instructions from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_7MH4o7DWk).
I was able to start recording using a Blue Yeti microphone. After about 30 seconds of recording, Audacity crashed. I was able to open it back up and recover most of the recording, but it happened again and has continued to happen. I looked through the forum and tried the things I could figure out how to do (minimize the window, make sure the setting is for hw:0,0), but it is still crashing after a few seconds of recording. Any ideas? As you may have guessed, I am super new to Linux and Audacity both, so I apologize for anything that I haven’t relayed clearly.
