Audacity Forum

At lease the next time it happens

The successful chat or conference services change your computer settings and only some services put them back when they're done.

Their product, their job, and promotion/publicity depends on total control of the sound pathways to avoid distortion, noise, feedback etc. etc. They have almost no need to save where the computer was before they set up for chat. So they don't. You think you're doing something wrong because the chat worked perfectly and now that stupid Audacity won't record my YouTube Music. What's wrong with Audacity, anyway?

You have a leg up because you have two computers and you at least know that it's computer dependent.

Skype became the most popular conference system on earth working that way.

And yes, knowing how to put it all back together later is a definite advantage. Write it down.

I hope you do not believe that I am thinking this way. I have a high respect for Audacity.

I would agree with your assessment that WebEx may have walked all over my settings but Audacity was working for about a month while I was also using WebEx. Maybe something I did in that last session did it but it was not a problem all along. After a few check/changes in settings, that computer is the one that is now behaving the best. I tried the same changes in another identical computer but it will not connect to anything audio. It will take some more time to figure out how to ask the questions.

As for Timer Recording, I have two of three working but not in the same way yet (-: One starts recording at the beginning of the file when using Timer Record, the other starts at the end which causes my file to be twice as large. Neither start at the cursor location and I understand that it may have been corrected in the next release. However that s a separate issue from not recording at all.

This has been fixed for 2.4.0 - I did the QA testing for it.
