I have an issue that maybe is related to the infamous error message that suddenly happened after MS changed some drivers.
I have a Lenovo on Win10 (drivers updated, etc. ), with Realtek for the sound. I need to record bits of music and sounds coming from a DAW (to edit them in Audacity) and until the “driver/crash message” issue everything was fine. I found a solution not to have Audacity’s message anymore and can now push the record button but …
All I got, whatever the parameters on Audacity is a Flat Line of recording. A silent track. It seems to record (the button works, the cursor starts, the counter too, etc.) but records nothing. I’m on WASAPI with the standard Auda. setup but nothing does.
Do you have an idea and/or have experienced that ?

First, you should render a WAV file from your DAW instead of making a digital-to-analog-to-digital recording.
I’m on WASAPI with the standard Auda. setup but nothing does.[/quote]You need to select WASAPI [u]loopback[/u] and be sure to select the “loopback” device that’s actually playing the sound. You may need to start the playback before you can record with loopback because WASAPI needs to get an audio stream. (It can be a silent stream but it can’t be “nothing”.)
Or if your DAW is using ASIO or WASAPI “Exclusive Mode”, Audacity and other applications may be locked-out of the hardware & drivers.
Well, in fact the idea is to record the “general” daw output in wav. That’s something specific to Reason (that forces me to do with Audacity) I guess that’s why I didn’t mentionned it : I need to record a loop (which include various tracks - wav or midi) but Reason don’t allow more than one loop and stops. I need to repeat that loop to work on it (kinda sound sketch). So … until now (and the Issues with Win/Audacity) I was just recording Reason’s loop output as may time as necessary and it was ok.
So I absolutely need Audacity for that specific usage. And now … I have a problem
