Audacity 4. Not able to record sound that is coming to my headphones. Same settings work in Audacity 3

Audacity 4
1

When i use Audacity 3. Choosing windows WASAPI, playback device → headphones (pro X), recording device-> headphones(pro X) loopback . everything works. i can play spotify and record the sound.

But in Audacity 4 everything else works except headphones (proX). When starting to record nothing is recording. It is moving but no sound. No bars indicating that there is sound.

if a change playback device to monitor…or soundcard. and change to corresponding recording device it works, But with awful sound as the monitors speakers are crap.

Why does it work with same settings in Audacity 3 but not in 4?

This was my advice to another forum post: Can't record streaming audio - #5 by evilmrb

But strange that all other playbacks are working and recordings. But not when using logitech Pro x headphones???

I agree with you but I’ve come to expect ‘strange’. :wink:

Judging by the raft of comments about Audacity 4 so far, I think your post title could be shortened to “Audacity 4. Not able…”

I have the problem with invalid device -9996 since I use the Headset Pro X 2 Lightspeed from Logitech! It doesn’t matter which Audacity version I use, from very old ones to 3.7.9, nothing works… why does Audacity has such problem witch Pro X?? :frowning:
