When using WASAPI I got another message, error code 9997Īs described here: Error opening sound device - Audacity Manual It should move to the right during play / recording.
The one at time=0 is the “play position” cursor (or “recording position” when in recording mode). It turns from green to red when in recording mode. It is described here in the manual: Timeline - Audacity Manual I see two red triangles, one left of the -1 seconds position (looks like a button but clicking on it and activation several options doesn’t do anything) and one at the 0,0 seconds position.
I assume that you have told Windows to allow Audacity to access the device (“microphone”)? If not, here’s the link again: Error opening sound device - Audacity Manual Hey Steve, it also happens when using MME,
