I downloaded the Skype recorder, with no results. It seems entirely incompatible with JAWS. I am still using Windows 7 and JAWS 13. Audacity was working fine with Skype until Friday night. Then yesterday for no clear reason I started getting the error message mentioned before.

Don, If you want help with recording settings, it's essential you let us know your operating system (for example, Windows 7 or OS X 10.6.8). I said that to you when you asked to subscribe you to the list). Usually, it is best not to record Skype with Audacity but with Pamela or MP3 Skype Recorder: http://voipcallrecording.com/ . To get Audacity recording again, try this FAQ: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_errors.html#sound_device . If you have not changed any settings in the operating system then it is possible you have changed the Audacity project rate. To check, CTRL + F6 until you are in Selection Toolbar, then TAB or ALT + TAB through there.
