why does Audacity start playing when I type keyboard?
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2011 10:52 pm
After the usual learning curve I got Audacity working on Win 7 pretty good. Due to hardware, I now am with an Imac 4.1 with OSX 10.6.8. Now a whole host of entirely different weird problems with Audacity and Lame. The only one I can't solve is why Audacity is idle, when I start to type on the keyboard it begins playing the opened audio file without me requesting this.
I hve turned OFF every keyboard shortcut in OSX but have not restarted. I have done Apple software update today, no change. Same problem. I cannot type with Audacity open without it playing.
Which keystrokes are doing this is somewhat mysterious as well.
Anyone else have this or know what this problem is called?
PS: I strongly recommend you abandon earlier verions of both Audacity and Lame and try to herd users towards only the last few releases. At least put older distributions on a different page, like Apple does. The only way i could get Lame to convert wav to mp3 was to download and install all five of them. I have no idea which one is really working.
