I’ve never really had much of a problem with Audacity at all, until recently I restarted my computer for an update. For some reason, the playback glitches out a lot with crackling noises. If I export them as .mp3, they sound fine, but it gets really annoying after a while when trying to create songs. I don’t have anything running in the background and the only window on my computer is Audacity. I haven’t downloaded any other software on my computer or any plugins for Audacity. Any fix for this please? Thanks!
If you still have this problem, a few things you can try:
- Reboot your computer.
- Ensure that Windows is fully updated (you may need to run Windows Update several times).
- Ensure that your anti-virus is fully updated.
- Ensure that there are no scheduled tasks running (such as disk optimisation, automatic updates, virus scans …)
- Ensure that there is plenty of free disk space on your C: drive.
