I've been using audacity 2.2.2 for several months with windows 10 just fine. But today all of a sudden I get an error message - "Error opening sound device; try changing the audio host, re4cording device & the project sample rate". I did all that - and all setting are correct. When I finally found the "troubleshoot" screen - I clicked it and learned that my audacity all of a sudden is compatable only wit windows 8 - not 10 - how did that happen, I tried to reinstall audacity 2.2.2 and it would not allow me to install it.
HELP!
windows 10

Re: windows 10
If you are recording from a microphone you may need to change the permissions to prevent windows restricting access, which is probably what the post referred to above explains. If you are recording via an ASIO device please come back with the details as there are some potential issues with the updated default drivers which windows update may have installed.

Re: windows 10
Audacity doesn't directly support ASIO. Having your ASIO fail is not a problem.If you are recording via an ASIO device please come back with the details as there are some potential issues with the updated default drivers which windows update may have installed.
