Audacity Forum

I've plugged in a headset, checked all the settings, and made sure that the headset is the recorder/loudspeaker, I can hear my voice if I talk in the headphones and record in the usual sound recorder, but Audacity doesn't react, the mike doesn't seem to work. When I click the record button it says "Error while opening sound device. Please check input device settings and the project sample rate". What should I do?

Try resetting the Audacity Preferences to 44100, 16-bit (from 32), Mono (from Stereo). Restart Audacity to make sure the setting stick and try again.
