cut an mp3 file in the middle of an mp3 frame, resulting in incomplete mp3 data and lost
fragments of sound)
On certain systems (primarily with Windows XP), you could not select the right sound
sources in the Sound Recorder. Instead of the regular sound sources like Line-In
or Microphone, it would only present Wave, or Hall, Statium and Pub
for example.

flat line in the Sound Editor after recording.
On some computers, error code 10512 ("Cannot use the codec that is required to
handle the selected sound format.") was wrongfully reported.
On systems with more than one sound mixer installed:
After you permanently selected an incompatible sound mixer to use for play-back (by
selecting "Don't ask again" in the mixer selection box), there was no way to get
rid of the error message "Your sound card is not able to work with the chosen sound
quality".
Now the Sound Editor allows you to select a compatible mixer to use for play-back, the
next time you start the Sound Editor again.
