Is there a way to remove all the clicks at once from the track? How about we try to get rid of the clicks during recording? Creating a forest of clicks in a voice track is not normal (unless you're like me and create them yourself during reading). So take it back to the beginning. Which microphone,...

I think I can help a little here. Step one. Stop Audacity from automatically resetting your view. That may be handy during recording, but it's crazy-making during editing. Zoom (Mac) Change the timeline so it doesn't shift by itself: -- Audacity > Preferences > Tracks > [_] Update display while play...

Actually, the recording devices don't show up on that panel, so that's a wave-off. Right-Click Speaker > Recording Devices > Recording should give you green flashes if the device is working. I have no idea where the volume control is, and I think there's a way to set stereo or mono as well. The Wind...

I found the screen grab of the Volume Mixer. The green stripe bounces with the sound. I'm guessing you have a slider for USB Audio Codec and it's turned down. Do you get the sound that far?

Theory has it you can also get there with Start (lower left) > Open Control Panels. But that's the round-about version. Most elves want you to use the little speaker technique.

It's the Windows Control Panels. From fuzzy memory: Right-click on the little speaker lower right > Open Sound Controller or Sound Editor. Something like that. You should see your device with a slider and a bouncing green column that represents your performance. If you don't see it at all, then you ...

Audacity gets its music from Windows, not the device. Make sure the Windows controls are not turned down. The Windows elves will be along to tell you how to do that.

I wouldn't be shocked if Airplane Mode was required. You can't have notifications pop up in the middle of a shoot.
