I'm trying to record system sounds using Windows WASAPI but no matter what speaker device I use to record it keep popping up with this error "error opening sound device try changing the audio host recording device and the project sample rate" I've already tried a lot of tutorials to try and fix this issue but nothing seems to work please help :(

Maybe you can post some screen shots of your settings in windows and audacity. I usually find it is one check box somewhere causing the problem.
