loss of data in recording

Post by prophetsson » Mon Sep 21, 2015 8:00 am

I am using Audacity version 2.1.0 and Windows 10. I downloaded audacity and installed from this file: audacity-win-2.1.0.exe

I read text into AUP files and then convert to MP3 files and download to CDs for the visually impaired. I've had trouble with the recording process lately. Audacity drops bits of words or sentences in the recording process. For example, I might read into Audacity, "Johnny and Janey jumped over the fence to get away from the angry dog."

On replay, I might get "Johnny and Janey ...ed over the fence to get away from the angry dog." or "Johnny and Janey ... over the fence to get away from the angry dog." or "Johnny and Janey ... fence to get away from the angry dog."

This can occur as often as ever 25 to 50 words. This problem occurred with Windows 7 as well. I'm recording using an HD Webcam C270, according to Audacity.

I removed your email address. The forum is spam central for companies looking for addresses.

There could be numerous reasons but the end result is that the computer cannot keep up with the recording.

Please experiment with the possible solutions listed on http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Manag ... nd_Drivers.
