I know this is a pretty common error message, and could cover a lot of stuff, but this is the most frustrating thing ever.
I was using audacity yesterday to record stuff, fine. worked great.
Windows forced some updates on me, which is always annoying, but whatever. Did it.
Went to record today and it has the error opening sound device message.
All my devices are correct and working according to windows, the project rate is correct with my mic. I’m using a Blue Yeti.
I can still hear things through the mic, and it’s being picked up by the computer.
I’m completely stumped. I tried updated/uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. Nothing.
Please. Help. Before. I. Go. Insane.
