Since updating my system to 24H2 back in December I now get “Error Opening Sound Device” when I try using Audacity. I’ve been a user for 10+ years and I’m running 3.7.1. Everything worked fine until I installed the December Windows Update. I’ve tried the suggestions I’ve seen here, to no avail. It ran fine until that update. I get no numbers in the error message. All I am doing is playing back files I create. They will play if I change from wasapi to MME or Windows DirectSound. Only Wasapi is affected. Any thoughts on how to fix are appreciated.
I have found the solution. I’ve had spacial sound turned off since I’m not currently using it. Audacity now works with WASAPI after selecting Windoows Sonic for headphones. I had updated the realtek drivers and made many config changes that didn’t work. This all happened when I updated Windows to 24H2 back in late December. I’m back in business, if anyone is interested…
