- This is annoying to me because my controller does an annoying light show when it is not touched for a while (and there's no way to turn that off:( ), so I replug it frequently. It has a sound card in it, but I use a different sound card with Mixxx. My situation is rather unusual, so don't worry too much about this if the solution isn't easy.

This will install the latest version of Mixxx from the Mixxx PPA on Launchpad. Mixxx 2.2.3 for 32-bit Ubuntu Bionic. Mixxx 2.2.3 for 64-bit Ubuntu Bionic. Ubuntu Repositories: Ubuntu also provides a version of Mixxx which can be installed directly from the Ubuntu Software Centre. Mixxx is one of the most comprehensive systems available and this tutorial will show you how to DJ in Second Life using Mixxx as your streaming software. For a while Mixxx was almost impossible to use on Windows to stream into Second Life (it worked fine with Linux and on a Mac), but after a few updates the software now works very well.
This issue usually occurs when there are no recording devices available. For example, if you click Edit, Preferences, and under Devices, there would be no options available to select in the Recording Device drop-down list.
The error may also occur when Audacity is configured to use a sample rate for recording that the sound card in your computer does not support. Audacity may also be trying to record more channels than the sound card can support.
To fix this error, try the steps below in order.

NoteError Sound Effect
These steps are for the Microsoft Windows operating system only.
- Close the Audacity program.
- Open the Control Panel.
- Open the Sound option.
- Click the Recordingtab.
- Right-click anywhere in the box where the devices are listed and select the Show Disabled Devices option, so that it has a check mark.
- This displays any device that is disabled on the computer. If no new devices are found, it's likely there is something wrong with the sound card or sound card drivers. We'd suggest reinstalling your sound card drivers or downloading and installing the latest drivers for your sound card.

- In Audacity, check the sample rate. It is displayed at the bottom left of the Audacity program window, labeled as 'Project Rate (Hz).' 44100 Hz and 48000 Hz are the two most commonly used sample rates and supported by most sound cards. If a different sample rate is used, try changing to 44100 or 48000 to test if that works for recording.
- Most standard sound cards support 1 or 2 channels for audio. If Audacity is trying to record more channels, it can cause an error to occur. In the Audacity menu bar at the top, click Edit > Preferences, and under the Devices section, verify the Channels option is set to 1 or 2.
- The sound card in your computer may not be functioning properly or Audacity is not able to detect it. Try removing the sound card and installing it again in the computer, restarting the computer after removing it and after installing it. Test with Audacity after reinstalling the sound card to see if the error is resolved or if it persists.
- Try uninstalling Audacity, then download and install the latest version of Audacity, to fix possible corruption or bugs with the Audacity software currently on your computer.
- Replace the sound card with a new one. If the sound card is integrated into the motherboard (onboard sound card), you need to install a new sound card and disable the onboard sound card by opening CMOS setup.
