Hi

can Audacity 2.4.2 use wasapi exlusive mode under w10 64bit or w7 64bit?

and if yes how?

i have read the guide ,but i have’t found any answer

thanks

You need to enable exclusive mode for your audio device in the Windows Sound settings.
You will also need to ensure that the sample rate for the device (both Recording and Playback) is set the same as the project rate that you are using in Audacity (by default that is 44100 Hz, though you can change the project rate near the bottom left corner of the main Audacity window)

The default project rate for Audacity can be set in Preferences: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/quality_preferences.html

To use WASAPI you need to set the “host” to WASAPI in the Device Toolbar.

hi Steve

You need to enable exclusive mode for your audio device in the Windows Sound settings.

my settings are these , but audacity doesn’t work in exclusive mode I can play an audio clip in audacity and in the same moment in foobar2000 and hear both different audio

thanks Steve

It would seem that your sound card drivers do not honour the “exclusive mode” setting in Windows Sound control panel. I agree that in exclusive mode, if Foobar2000 is playing then Audacity should be denied access, and vice versa.

hi
but i have tried goldwave trial , and in past audicion cc and they work in “exclusive mode”
thanks Steve

Foobar2000 is also supposed to work in exclusive mode.
