CLICKING "RECORD" CREATES ERROR MESSAGE

Post by akush » Sat Jun 29, 2019 8:07 pm

I am using version 2.3.2 on a desktop, Windows 10, Chrome browser. I have used Audacity in the past (older version) on this same computer setup without problems. Now when I click on "record" to record streaming music on my computer, I get the following error message.
"Error opening recording device. Error code: 0 success."
What's the fix, places to look and check, uncheck options? Thanks.

First, make sure your input device is set correctly. On the device toolbar, you'll see the name of what you're recording with. If that's set wrong, there you go. If it isn't, there's this whole page on what to do.
