HOW TO FIX AUDACITY MICROPHONE ERROR 9999 IN WINDOWS 10

if it still doesnt work, see this comment:


Underneath the PAUSE/PLAY BUTTON there is a drop down box, this is a; very important setting.

**note i use this to record sound out of my speakers/headphones
If you have headphones this should be the settings that work for me
Windows WASPI > Headphones [name] (loopback) > 2 Stereo Recording channel > Headphones[name]

If you are using speakers then use this settings
Windows WASPI > Speakers[name]> 2 Stereo Recording channel > Speakers[name]

** For recording with a microphone
IF YOU PLUG IN YOUR MICROPHONE AND IT DOESNT SHOW UP ON THE MICROPHONE DROP DOWN BOX,
CLOSE AUDACITY AND REOPEN IT.

SETTINGS AS FOLLOWS:
Windows DirectSound> Microphone [Name]>1 Mono Recording Channel> Speakers(OR HEADPHONES IF U ARE USING THAT) For playback

WOI BABI

what to do if I don't want the mic input but strait computer input?
ex if I record something from computer with mic it'll get all the noise like clicking n stuff

Thank you I finally fix the problem!!

a "fix" that actually worked, now I can record that tape, and use an app to find out what that song is that I have been unable to identify for 31years. Thank You

I ran in to this error all of a sudden today. All the settings was ok but i found out that my USB soundcard, which i record from, was connected to a faulty hub in my particular case.

Thank You ❤️
