We are podcasters using Audacity for about 4 years. For the past few months we’ve experienced an issue where we hear a brief distortion that sounds like a scratch or crackle that occurs roughly every 30 seconds. However, it doesn’t start until about 10 or 11 minutes into the recording.
There were a couple of times that Audacity reported dropouts, but we just recorded a 50-minute episode that seemed like it worked out great. Still, when we went back to edit, the crackles were there again starting at about the 11-minute mark and happening about every 30 seconds after that.
We’re on Audacity 3.7 and running Windows 11 Pro. I’ve worked through all the help suggestions regarding settings and set the Audacity priority to “High”. I’m not sure what else to do.
Any help / suggestion would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
