Windows 10 error opening or Internal PortAudio error[SOLVED]

I have had the same problem… No audio devices are shown in Audacity at all, these however are shown correctly in all other programmes and work with no problems. I updated from 8.1 where audacity worked correctly. I have reinstalled audacity several times with no luck. All relevant drivers are up to date as far as i can see.

Have you been to the web site of your computer or motherboard manufacturer to look for Windows 10 audio drivers? That is the best way to update drivers.

Reinstalling Audacity, even if you enabled the Reset Preferences option in the installer, is not going to achieve anything as far as I am aware.

Using earlier or Microsoft drivers might help though of course that is normally not encouraged - see InternalPortAudio error since windows 10 update - #4 by Gale_Andrews
