Hello, I've just installed the new version over the old one, unfortunately, I have a problem, Audacity starts but there is lots of noise, [mainly white noise but not consistent], the only way I can get rid of it is to go into Prefferences/devices and tab through the various selections, they are still all correctly set as before, but I need to go to OK and press it, after that the noise stops, by the way I'm using MME as host. I'm using Windows seven home premium 64 bit and I have two soundcards, a Realtek and a Soundblaster, the settings on these are the same as before I did the new install. If I close Audacity with the noise still present, it remains, also, if I close and reboot the computer, the noise is still there after re-booting even before starting Audacity again, so it's obviously a soundcard problem, but it worked perfectly before the installation, I am thinking of uninstalling and doing a fresh install, before I do, any comments please? Thanks a lot. Best Regards, Jim.
