DRUMMIST53  Ever since I installed version 1.35 I cannot playback

any audio. All I get is hiss. I'm running a Mac G4 and

have never had this problem with earlier

versions...Perhaps it has something to do with this

portaudio v19 I see on my output setting for my core

output?? Meanwhile this program is now useless to me.  (Version 1.3.5)

JON55  So, is the development on this pretty much dead or what? I mean it's an awesome app, so that would be a huge shame. But it could use some work.  (Version 1.3.3)

CHOSEN716  I downloaded Audacity when I had MAC OS 10.3.9, however I recently bought Leapord so I am now running MAC OS 10.5, and Audacity will not open. When I click to open it it says, "You cannot open the application "Audacity" because it is not supported on this architecture." Also the icon has a circle with a line throuch it over the image of the headphones. I have concluded that the newest version of Audacity is not supported by MAC OS 10.5 and probably only 10.4, Please update!  (Version 1.3.3)
