Buglists

We probably track more bugs than you are interested in...

We do use this detail in our own QA work.

Highlighted Issues

Below are listed what we believe are the most common and important issues with 3.0.2 for most users.

macOS Big Sur

Accessibility

  • Less of Audacity is properly accessible to visually impaired users than we would like. Currently the best supported platform for accessibility is Windows. We lost a lot of custom accessibility programming when we had to move to a more recent version of the wxWidgets library.

Internationalization

  • Audacity is only partially translated in many languages. We also have some issues, for example, with Right-To-Left Languages.

Audacity 3.0.2 requires the CPU to support the instruction set which should be available on any Intel hardware produced after 2001 and any AMD hardware produced after 2003.

To check what SSE levels your CPU supports, you can install .

If your hardware only supports SSE, you may download Audacity 2.0.6 see the page on the Audacity Website.

There are legacy versions for older OS X at .

We used to have a separate page with a dynamic buglist for each version, but nowadays we recommend instead to visit our for current bug status.
