Fixing a mistake in the manual

There are several places in the manual that reference the “audio to buffer” setting, with links to this page:
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/recording_preferences.html

Unfortunately, that’s the wrong page. It should be this one:
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/devices_preferences.html

I assume the GUI got changed at some point and the manual was never updated. Someone should do a search to find all the references, but as a stopgap, I’d suggest adding a note to the bottom of the first page, saying “if you’re looking for the buffer setting, it’s on this other page”. It took me a while to find it.

I’m not able to find that in the current manual. Please provide links to the pages where this error occurs

This is the main one:
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#skips

Also:
https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Managing_Computer_Resources_and_Drivers
(point 13 should say “devices preferences”, not “recording preferences”)

I thought there were a couple of others, I’ll post them here if I run across them again.

Thanks.
The first had already been fixed in the development manual (it’s too late to change the released manual).
The second is on the Audacity wiki rather than the manual.
I did however find a couple of others in the development manual which I have now fixed.
