More specifically, the <strong>buffer size<\/strong> setting. If it is set too low, it can cause the audio to sound choppy during playback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audacity can also be resource-intensive. If you have an older or slower computer, it may struggle to keep up with the audio processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another potential cause could be that your audio file is corrupted. Or has it been saved in a format that Audacity is incompatible with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you may have too many effects or edits to your audio, resulting in a choppy sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter the cause of your choppy audio, there are several steps you can take to fix the issue and get your audio sounding great again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the following section, we will outline six simple

So if your computer meets the minimum requirements, you may experience choppy audio or other performance issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To check the system requirements for Audacity, visit the Audacity website. Then click on the <strong>&ldquo;System Requirements&rdquo;<\/strong> link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will show you the minimum and recommended hardware and software requirements for running Audacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your computer doesn&rsquo;t meet the minimum requirements, you may need to upgrade<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Check The Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Audacity-Preferences-Buffer-Length.png\" alt=\"Audacity Preferences Buffer Length\" class=\"wp-image-12349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Audacity-Preferences-Buffer-Length.png 649w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Audacity-Preferences-Buffer-Length-300x208.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Audacity-Preferences-Buffer-Length.png.webp\" alt=\"Audacity Preferences Buffer Length\" class=\"wp-image-12349 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Audacity-Preferences-Buffer-Length.png.webp 649w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Audacity-Preferences-Buffer-Length-300x208.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Audacity-Preferences-Buffer-Length.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Open up the settings and look for a <strong>&ldquo;buffer length&rdquo;<\/strong> parameter. Try raising it and see if it helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3: Save your audio file in a compatible format.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s possible that your audio file is corrupt or has some other issue causing the choppy audio. In this case, try obtaining a new audio file copy and see if that resolves the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4: Optimize your computer&rsquo;s performance.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the choppy audio persists, your computer may not have enough processing power to handle the audio file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, try closing any other programs or processes running in the background. These can drain your computer&rsquo;s resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can use a more powerful computer. Or optimize your current system for audio production by disabling unnecessary startup programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, increasing the amount of <strong>RAM<\/strong> allocated to Audacity can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 5: Use fewer effects and edits.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also worth noting that applying too many effects or edits to your audio can cause it to become choppy or skip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have applied many effects to your audio file, try removing some of them to see if it improves the audio quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 6: Use a higher-quality audio file.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your audio file is of low quality, it can cause choppy or skipping audio in Audacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix this issue, try using a <strong>higher-quality audio file<\/strong>. Higher-quality audio files will generally have more data, which can help reduce choppy audio in Audacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 7: Try a different computer.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you have tried all the above steps and are still experiencing choppy audio in Audacity. In that case, it may be worth trying a different computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your current computer is not powerful enough to handle Audacity, using a more powerful computer may help resolve the choppy audio issue.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;background:#0693e3;padding-top:20px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:20px;margin-bottom:50px;}.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap:hover{background:#0693e3;}.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kadence-info-box-image-inner-intrisic-container{max-width:800px;}.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kadence-info-box-image-inner-intrisic-container .kadence-info-box-image-intrisic{padding-bottom:100%;width:40px;height:0px;max-width:100%;}.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kadence-info-box-icon-container .kt-info-svg-icon, .kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kt-info-svg-icon-flip, .kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kt-blocks-info-box-number{font-size:50px;}.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kt-blocks-info-box-media{color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);background:transparent;border-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;padding-top:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:10px;padding-left:10px;}.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kt-blocks-info-box-media-container{margin-top:0px;margin-right:15px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:15px;}.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap:hover .kt-blocks-info-box-media{color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);background:transparent;border-color:#444444;}.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kt-infobox-textcontent h2.kt-blocks-info-box-title{color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;}.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kt-infobox-textcontent .kt-blocks-info-box-text{color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);}.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kt-blocks-info-box-learnmore{background:transparent;border-color:#555555;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding-top:4px;padding-right:8px;padding-bottom:4px;padding-left:8px;margin:10px 0px 10px 0px;}.kt-info-box_27b301-0f .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap:hover .kt-blocks-info-box-learnmore{color:#ffffff;background:#444444;border-color:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-infobox kt-info-box_27b301-0f .protipblue\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap info-box-link kt-blocks-info-box-media-align-top kt-info-halign-center\"><div class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-media-container\"><div class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-media kt-info-media-animate-none\"><div class=\"kadence-info-box-image-inner-intrisic-container\"><div class=\"kadence-info-box-image-intrisic kt-info-animate-none\"><div class=\"kadence-info-box-image-inner-intrisic\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Copy-of-Home-Music-Maker-Logo-White.png\" alt=\"Home Music Maker - Thumbnail - (White)\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" class=\"kt-info-box-image wp-image-4425\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Copy-of-Home-Music-Maker-Logo-White.png.webp\" alt=\"Home Music Maker - Thumbnail - (White)\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" class=\"kt-info-box-image wp-image-4425 lazyload\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Copy-of-Home-Music-Maker-Logo-White.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kt-infobox-textcontent\"><h2 class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-title\">Pro Tip<\/h2><p class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-text\">If you are experiencing choppy audio in Audacity frequently, it may be worth investing in a more powerful computer or upgrading your existing computer.
