Hi, I’ve been using Audacity for a while and very happy with it. I wanted to perform noise suppression on a lengthy speech recording in mp3 format, so downloaded the openvino plugin and meticulously followed the install instructions. Now, when I start Audacity I get the message “Unable to load the mod-openvino module. Error %1 is not a Win32 application”. If I look up Preferences, modules, and look at mod-openvino it shows as failed rather than enabled. What am I missing? Any ideas? Windows 11 Pro, version 24H2, OS build 26100.4652 Audacity version 3.7.3
Hello, this error usually occurs if you are trying to use the OpenVINO plugins (which are 64-bit) within a 32-bit Audacity installation. Can you double check that you’ve installed a 64-bit version of Audacity? For example, this one should work: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/releases/download/Audacity-3.7.4/audacity-win-3.7.4-64bit.exe
Thank you for your reply. I must have inadvertently installed the 32 bit version without realising some time ago. I used your link and now pleased to say all seems to be working. Thanks again.
I ran into a similar issue with OpenVINO not loading in Audacity. What worked for me was reinstalling the latest version of Audacity, then manually placing the OpenVINO files into the plugins folder instead of relying on the automatic installer. Also, make sure your system has the required Visual C++ redistributables installed missing those can trigger loading errors too.
