I am using a Windows 10. The file is a 102MB WAV file, approx. 9min 17sec long.
Every time I try to import the file, it corrupts the last minute of the audio. It’s never done this before and I’ve used WAV files of this length plenty of times. Why is this happening?
Just one specific file?
Just one specific file?
No, I’ve now tried it with other files of similar length and it’s doing it to all of them.
In what way is it “corrupting” the audio?
Which version of Audacity? (Look in “Help menu > About Audacity”)
It is Audacity 2.1.3
It only imports half of the audio and then the last half is silent (but still showing some waves as if audio should be playing). I’ll try to attach a screenshot.
I just tried it with a file that is less than 3min long and it imported it fine. All the audio was there through the end.
The length/file size is not the problem… Audacity isn’t the problem either… 
Does the whole file play OK in Windows Media Player (or whatever player you’re using)?
You can try importing it as raw audio. You’ll have to set the Encoding/bit depth, number of channels, and sample rate to match the file. Set the offset to 44 bytes (to skip-over the WAV file header). If you get “garbage” try with an offset of zero and then you’ll have to edit-out the glitch at the beginning where the header is converted to audio. And, if you still get garbage with an offset of zero, try 1, 2, or 3.
Ok, I’ll try that! And yes the whole file plays okay in Windows media player.
That’s a very old version. The current version is Audacity 2.4.2 (https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/)
How much free space is there on your C: drive?
And yes the whole file plays okay in Windows media player.
Good! In that case, you can [u]re-record it while it’s playing[/u] in Windows Media Player.

I can’t imagine how that could happen… That you can see the whole waveform but only hear half of it. Very weird!!!
….If the left & right channels are identical but out-of-phase you can get silence in mono (typically when playing through a mono cell phone speaker). But with stereo speakers on a computer that won’t happen. Plus, Audacity should be the same as Windows Media Player.
