Error Code 0 - Help Pleasse

[Peter749]

I’m trying to record music from Youtube - a Flash Mob playing instruments.

I have used Audacity a number of times but now I get the Error Opening Recording Device Error Code: 0 Success

I changed to Windows 11 on a new machine and I think this might be the first time that I have a problem - I uninstalled and reinstalled Audacity but that did not change anything.

I have check the Microphone is set to allow recordings - although I don’t have an actual Microphone as it is recorded from the Internet.

I have check the Transport - Rescan Audio Devices but that did not change anything. I’m not sure if I should see anything as that takes place?

I have some error text

"timestamp": 1765033587,
"event_id": "4faa3df22e022a4cbbecc2f4198d7702",
"platform": "native",
"release": "audacity@3.7.5",
"contexts": {
    "os": {
        "type": "os",
        "name": "Windows",
        "version": "10.0.26200"
    }
},
"exception": {
    "values": [
        {
            "type": "Error",
            "value": "Error opening recording device.\nError code: 0 Success.",
            "mechanism": {
                "type": "runtime_error",
                "handled": false
            }

Not sure why it shows “Windows 10.0.26200” when the computer is Windows 11

I have tried to play and edit mp3 files that I have previously created and/or downloaded and there is no problem.

Any suggestions please?

I should have said I’m running version 3.7.5

It was mentioned on another post

Under Audio Setup, try changing your Host to WASAPI.

This solved my problem
