3. Known Issues in 2.3.2: 3. Known Issues in 2.3.3:
For known issues in 2.3.2 please see: Audacity 2.3.3 does not properly support macOS Catalina. There are new
security restrictions in Catalina on using the microphone. For example,
Audacity may run, but fail to record. Catalina was released towards the end
of 2.3.2 development.
