Regarding my export problem, I upgraded to version 2.3.3, but it did not
solve the problem. Upon further examination and testing, I realized
that the export was probably fine, since I can play the exported WAV
file in Winamp without difficulty. However, when I attempt to play it
in Audacity, I get the rapid gibberish I previously described. This is
a minor issue at this point, but I still cannot understand why this is
happening.

Hi Rich--
It sounds like the sample rate and/or bit depth may be getting messed up somehow. The
"No specific format options" message is normal. You mentioned that you are
saving to 16 bit. Are you tabbing once to confirm that it is set to 16 bit?
What are you using to play the wav file? If not Audacity, he said clutching at
straws, that may be the issue. While not a solution to the issue, what happens
if you export as mp3?
It would do no harm to install Audacity 2.3.3. The next step may be perhaps to
do an uninstall and reinstall. If all else fails, delete the
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\audacity folder before reinstalling.
Substitute your username in that path.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Unusual Export Problem!
I have been using Audacity for years now and never encountered this problem. I am using
version 2.3.2. After I mix down the tracks in a project and attempt to export the mix
track, I get the message: "No specific format options." I go ahead anyway and
export to 16 bit wav format, but when I play the wav file, it is just super high-speed
gibberish. It sounds like an old reel-to-reel tape recorder on fast forward or rewind.
I did this several times in different projects with the same result. I shut down and
rebooted the computer with the same result. I have performed this function hundreds of
times successfully in the past. What could be causing this?
