Error Opening Project: Failed to Open Database File

Audacity 3 Help Forum
1

Help! I cannot open my audio file (896,220 KB) and have tried recovering the file using the recovery help tools without success. The recovered file is unreadable: “Audacity failed to read from a file in C:”

I receive the following message in the show log when trying to open the original file:

10:30:04: DBConnection SetDBError
ErrorCode: 11
LastError: Failed to set page size for database D:\Personal Kanban\Personal Kanban 1.aup3
LibraryError: database disk image is malformed
10:30:04: DBConnection SetError
ErrorCode: 11
LastError: Failed to open database file:

Error code 11 indicated your project database is corrupted. Fortunately you project is probably recoverable. See: Corrupt or Otherwise Broken Audacity Project Recovery

Unfortunately, I tried that already and the recovered file still did not work.

Sorry, I have nothing else to offer. :frowning_face:

It’s ok. I think it happened because I had the file saved on a flash drive and was working on it using my laptop and PC which have different versions of Audacity. Thanks anyway :beers:
