Single channel choice crashes! Help!

[polkat]

You guys are playing with me now. Four posts back is a post of mine, and Gale doesn't have a Sunday post!


Now, I don't want to waste anyone's time here. I found a newer driver for the Blaster card...didn't help. So I'm just going to assume that Blasters are not compatible with Audacity in mono mode, and use it on stereo mode until I can afford a better sound card.

Thanks all for the help!!!

The audacity.txt attachment is at the bottom of this post (though it does not show up on the quoted text).
(I've added emphasis to the relevant text)

the Windows Sound Recorder is definately recording mono wave files just fine using this sound card and drivers. No crashes this way, although the files are recorded at a weird baud (22050) but it works fine. So I tried Steve's setup and it crashed as always. I have thought about reinstalling Audacity, but i understand that the setup files are retained from the last installation, so I guess if there's a problem there, a reinstall won't fix it.

By all means you can reset Audacity's settings to default. Worth a shot. Exit Audacity, rename the attached "audacity.txt" to "audacity.cfg" (without quotes) then paste it into Documents and Settings<your user name>Application DataAudacity and say "yes" when Windows asks if you want to overwrite it.

Also you could try right-click over audacity.exe in the folder you installed it to > Properties, then look at the "Compatibility" tab. It's usually best with no compatibility, but you could try enabling compatibility with earlier Windows to see if it helped.

If you get the zip of Audacity 1.3.13 it's "only" 7.6 MB because it does not have a Manual:

Can you perhaps download it overnight?

I'm not a programmer (although I understand very basic programming). Even if I found something with those programs I wouldn't know what to do about it.

You do have to download the program and the Microsoft debugging tools, but the Whocrashed program does all the work in reading the dump. You could get an answer as easy as something like this:
