Audacity Forum

I have just installed Audacity 1.3.13 on my PC and when I go to recoed my voice I get a latency message. I dont know what to do...It never happened on my other version. Also Now I cant record my voice in other DAW since i installed 1.3.13. Am I doing something wrong.? Ive tried changing preferences and reinstalling. No joy.Please help......

Probably best to reset your preferences back to the default values before proceeding. See here for how to do that: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audac ... tored.3F_2

When you have done that, set the recording and playback devices to whatever you are using (Edit menu > Preferences > Devices) and try again.
If you still get the problem, don't make any other changes, just write back and give full details about the version of Audacity, your operating system, what you are recording from, what sound card you are using and any other details that may be relevant.

The problem is i cant find the audacity.cfg file any where. can you tell me where it is kept. i have tried looking. Maybe im being dumb, not very PC minded......

Which version of Windows?

Have you got your Windows Explorer set so that it doesn't show hidden files and folders - and note this is the somewhat unhelpful default that Microsoft ships in Windows?

If so reset it is to show the hidden files/folders - I suspect the .cfg file may be such a file.

I have finally found the file. reset it. Yes it moves, I see a blue line but still cant record audio. Im on windows xp....Whats going on..? It worked perfectly before. starting to wish I never upgraded...AAARRRGGGGH..

Time for a cup of tea (or coffee).

What are you trying to record from?
Please give full details of your set-up (too much information is better than not enough).

Done it. Dont know how but its working....Thanks for everyones help...Much appreciated.
