I’ve been out of the business since 2010, but yes, I do know about the DirectX diagnostic tool. All you said was “diagnostics screen.”

That should be version 1.2.6 which is the current version when Chris went to that great support forum in the sky. That’s also notes from several different computers and postings. I was pleased that the forum administrators seem to have made older forum postings available. They didn’t used to be.
I’m going to reduce all that to brief, clear notes and post it on my site.
Enjoy,

Post back how it goes. You still have to know how to install a Nyquist application in Audacity and it still has to work. I haven’t done that yet.
Koz
All you have done is open the program.
In TextEdit-Plain, yes. Nyquists are fancy-pants text files. That’s how you tell which version you have. It’s listed down a bit under “Version.”
I have used it. As I posted in the notes, I recorded two different versions of “Car Talk” from NPR. The radio broadcast sounded, oddly enough, like a radio broadcast. Totally even volume with the usual stereo subcarrier background noise.
Then I found how to get the digital version and it was a revelation. No noise, but no broadcast compressor, either. One host had moderate speaking voice but the other had a laugh comparable to a thermonuclear event. Enter Chris’s Compressor. I used the .77 “stiff” option and the show was perfect from then on.
Actually testing it now will be amusing. Audacity 3.7.5 has made some developer mistakes and I don’t know that I would want to trust a production to it. I loaded 3.6.2. So even if I did test it, it may not be the version you’re using.
You could try it. I included the actual Nyquist file in my forum posting above.

Koz,
I was responding to Rojo26. All he did was open the program. He didn’t send us the log file text.
I’ll have more time tomorrow to install, try, and troubleshoot if needed.
Since the actual job is transcription, Chris should be perfect.
