Once I finally got the permissions “On”, further experiments with the devices toolbar showed that almost any settings would work. Once I realized these 2 settings are independent, a little experimentation revealed that either one set to “off” would kill Audacity. Then, in the next section, “Allow apps to access your microphone” the master switch must be “On” ( blue ). If it says “off”, then use the gray “Change” button on the next line to bring up a switch to turn it on. Under “Allow access to the microphone on this device”, it must also say “Microphone access for this device is on”.

I looked at the Privacy permissions, and did not find Audacity listed among the permitted apps.įinally, I discovered that there are 2 permissions that must be set correctly, both on the Windows-Settings-Microphone control panel. I tried all combos of the settings in the devices toolbar, and on Windows’ Sound settings. Audacity is freeware as well as a powerful tool for creating good audio through recording and editing multiple audio files. I “updated” my Realtek driver from Lenovo’s website. I updated to Audacity 2.3.0, and the problem continued. Audacity Plugins - Audacity Plugins GitBook Audacity Plugins This site features download links to various plugins for Audacity, which can be used to extend Audacity's functionality to better match your workflow. Couldn’t get it to record from my Line In. Like RDavidson, I’m on a Win 10 desktop, and tried to record using Audacity 2.0.3.

But, finally, I found an answer to my problem. Since you have Windows 10 in S Mode, Microsoft Store is the sole source of software you need. This problem has been driving me nuts all day today.
