Developed under the Muse Group umbrella, this maintenance release brings two changes that many users have long awaited: the official Windows builds now enable <code>ASIO<\/code> support, and the editor is compatible with the latest version of the multimedia framework <code>FFmpeg 9<\/code>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ASIO for the First Time in the Official Windows Builds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the changelog, <code>ASIO<\/code> support has been enabled for the Windows builds; playback and recording device selection is now remembered per host. ASIO (Audio Stream Input\/Output) accesses the audio hardware more directly on Windows and thus allows lower latency \u2013 an important building block for music production and recording. The step is notable because ASIO relies on a proprietary SDK from Steinberg, whose license has historically been hard to reconcile with distributing ready-made Audacity builds. Users therefore long had to compile the program themselves with the SDK. The release notes give no details on the licensing background of the switch \u2013 it remains to be seen how the team will officially justify the change.<\/p><div id=\"netgu-1340848842\" class=\"netgu-content netgu-entity-placement\"><aside class=\"deals-top deals-top--compact\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"deals-top__title\">Top-Deals<\/h3>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"deals-top__list\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"deals-top__item\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"deals-top__link\" href=\"https:\/\/netguide.io\/deals\/de\/deals\/amazon-kindle-scribe-64-gb-neuartiges-display-mit-gleichmaessigem-rahmen-schreib-einfach-in-buecher-und-dokumente-mit-notizbuchzusammenfassung-mit-premi\/\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"deals-top__image\" src=\"https:\/\/netguide.io\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/kindle_shopall_310mmTall-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"52\" height=\"52\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"deals-top__body\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"deals-top__name\">Amazon Kindle Scribe (64 GB) \u2013 Neuartiges Display mit gleichm\u00e4\u00dfigem Rahmen | Schreib einfach in B\u00fccher und Dokumente | Mit Notizbuchzusammenfassung | Mit Premi\u2026<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"deals-top__meta\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"deals-top__price\">329.99 \u20ac<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<s>421.02 \u20ac<\/s>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"deals-discount\">-22%<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"deals-top__temperature\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t0\u00b0\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"deals-top__item\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"deals-top__link\" href=\"https:\/\/netguide.io\/deals\/de\/deals\/philips-hue-white-ambiance-e27-3er-starter-set-inkl-smart-button-dimmbar-alle-weissschattierungen-steuerbar-via-app-kompatibel-mit-amazon-alexa-echo-echo\/\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"deals-top__image\" src=\"https:\/\/netguide.io\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/09\/61pZ0xD9KGL._AC_SL1500_-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"52\" height=\"52\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"deals-top__body\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"deals-top__name\">Philips Hue White Ambiance E27 3er Starter Set inkl.

Loss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With support for <code>FFmpeg 9<\/code>, Audacity stays current when importing and exporting more exotic formats. In addition, 3.7.9 plugs several sources of project corruption and data loss \u2013 for example when the disk runs out of space, when a drive is disconnected shortly after a project is closed, or when a recovered project is closed without saving. There are also fixes for crashes with realtime effect editors open, a freeze with MIDI tracks, and startup problems caused by faulty font configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Availability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Audacity 3.7.9 is available as a free download for Windows, macOS and Linux.
