First off, using Windows 10. And currently Audacity 2.2.1..I have been using 2.1.1 for some time with no problems. Tonight I was trying to record audio, and when I hit the record button, the recording "cursor" or line didn't move, just flickered. So I just uninstalled it and installed the newest. I managed to record, but at first the "cursor" didn't move, but when sound started,
it recorded. Ok...a little odd. Must be something new. So I wanted to delete about 5 seconds off the end, but when I try to delete the way I did with the earlier version, the delete option in edit drop down was gray, so I couldn't. Also, I couldn't get the cursor to "home position." So what is going on with the latest? I wouldn't think there would be problems like these on this version.

Re: Two different problems
Are you using the same computer that you had here: viewtopic.php?p=175175#p175175
Try checking all the things that you checked there.
Also, is this the first time you have used Audacity since upgrading to Windows 10?

Re: Two different problems
Sorry for the delay in replying. No, I bought a computer with Win 10 installed. I've not had this problem until about 2 weeks ago. Never had it not start recording until audio is present. I liked the ability to have a 3 or 4 second delay before I start audio. Seems like this was a fix that happened recently that I was not aware of. As I stated in my OP, I uninstalled 2.1.1 and installed the latest. Same thing. Plus I don't like the interface (personal problem). So I uninstalled the newest and reverted back to the earlier one. Same thing. Is there a work around to this headache, or am I stuck with a poorer set up? I've been using audacity for some time and would like to continue to use it.
