Failed To Read From A File - Attempted Recovery Tools

Audacity 3 Help Forum Windows
1

Hello, I have had this issue with more than one file ever since I updated to the newest version of audacity.

I closed the project after saving, but now it will not open, giving me “Failed To Read From A File” error. This is the log:
{
“timestamp”: 1748220527,
“event_id”: “f6c2485562453745a0cae9ecfa14fd7c”,
“platform”: “native”,
“release”: “audacity@3.7.3”,
“contexts”: {
“os”: {
“type”: “os”,
“name”: “Windows”,
“version”: “10.0.19044”
}
},
“exception”: {
“values”: [
{
“type”: “File_Error”,
“value”: “Audacity failed to read from a file in .”,
“mechanism”: {
“type”: “runtime_error”,
“handled”: false,
“data”: {
“sqlite3.rc”: “101”,
“sqlite3.context”: “SqliteSampleBlock::Load::step”
}
}
}
]
}
}
I attempted to use the recovery tools, but the recovered file still does not open, giving me exactly the same error.

At this point, is there anything I can do?

Jonathan,
I tried the audacity projects tools in order and I was unable to fix your project. Usually, the first command is all it takes to work. Sorry about that. I think you might need the greater knowledge of the forum moderators or the Audacity developers.

Update: what did work is extract_sample_blocks and extract_as_stereo_track commands. This gave me 676 little WAV files and a single WAV file with everything in it. If they are any use to you, I can send you those.
