On Audacity 3.7.7. Attempting to record audio from youtube using Windows WASAPI as the host, Logitech Pro X (loopback) as the recording device on a stereo recording channel, with my headset as the playback device.
Both default and project sample rate, as well as the sample rate for my headphones have been set at 44100. This setup used to work flawlessly and I am really not sure what has changed. When I hit record I have been met with ‘Error opening recording device’ messages, with error codes -9996, -9997 and -9998.
In my most recent attempt to ‘fix’ this issue I have found that if I set the recording channels to 8, it will allow me to record the desktop audio, however when I go to play it back, I am met with the following:
Error Opening Sound Device.
Try changing the audio host, playback device and the project sample rate.

}
I can get around this issue by switching to another host but I was wondering if anyone knew of a more concrete solution?
Cheers
