When playing back audio in Audactiy now, it is like a loud buzzing noise. Worked fine a few updates ago. It is like this for all audio imported, and when exported it sounds normal. Wasn’t sure how to explain it to try and find another thread with this issue
I have heard no similar reports - so I don’t think this is caused by Audacity; I think you have some hardware or radio (including microwave) interference - perhaps a grounding connection or transformer leakage issue. However, you said it worked fine a few Audacity updates ago - which means you feel Audacity updates might be contributing to the problem. So logically the next step is to verify your assumption - try downloading the older version of Audacity and see if it goes away.
Interference wouldn’t make any sense since the microphone works perfectly fine with other programs, the only issue is with audacity. I tried reinstalling, and installing an old version and it’s still the same.
i’m not sure what to even do to fix this. even with the newest update it does the same thing. my speakers work fine on every other program besides audacity. same noise when playing back through headphones and through my monitor
