I think you might be on to something here... I tried changing the Maximum Frequency, as John had suggested, to 44100 Hz, and re-tried another recording, this time, I ran audacity from a shell prompt (to see if anything shows up "behind the scenes", and this is what I came up with, the message below shows up when I "export to WAV") Pa_SetupDeviceFormat: warning - requested sample rate = 44100 Hz - closest = 48000 Pa_SetupDeviceFormat: warning - requested sample rate = 44100 Hz - closest = 48000 How can I "force" this to work??? > > > I have tried using oog through the complete process, till I burned it to > > the cd, and the same with wav - both file formats appear to create a > > Audio CD with these same results.
