Error -9999: Unanticipated Host Error

Causes

This error means "something is wrong", most commonly

  • A lost connection to a USB audio device
  • Missing microphone permissions from the operating system.
  • Your device is unable to playback other tracks while recording.
    • This most commonly happens if you're trying to record at a different sample rate than the device's playback rate. Making sure the sample rate matches in both the Windows Settings and Audacity's Audio Setup -> Audio Settings may fix this.
    • Turning off Overdub via Transport -> Transport Options may fix this.
