Unfortunately many teachers use it to do something. so when I wanted to record with my faithful audacity, the program has sent this message: "error while opening sound device. please check the input device settings and the project sample rate." What can I do? thanks Paolo ________________ Dang Manh Cuong HCMC University of Pedagogy: The Educational Psychology Mobile: +84 902-572-300 E-mail: dangmanhcuong@xxxxxxxxx Yahoo!
