# Error: The Audacity IPC server failed to initialize
|
|
|
|
## Causes
|
|
|
|
If you are on a low-end machine, this may be caused by insufficient resources, specifically memory. 
|
|
|
|
This also can happen if you assign yourself a static IP in the `hosts` file.
|
|
|
|
## Fixes
|
|
|
|
* Try closing other programs or restarting your computer to clear up memory. 
|
|
* If you're using static IP assignments in the `hosts` file, simply commenting out the assignment may solve this.
