Try unplugging the turntable. If that fails, make sure Audacity is trying to play music to the right place. Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Devices > Playback. You can also get there from the speaker setting in the toolbar just above the timeline. Also make sure the Audacity playback volume is turne...

I don't know of any natural limitation to the number of tracks past your ability to see them all on the screen. I've run into that limitation multiple times and the show survived.

That one we can fix. If you're overdubbing and the first and second tracks are out of sync, that's an overdub setting. The short answer is to make a click track and then dub the click track playback onto the new track. Measure the difference and set the Recording Delay. http://manual.audacityteam.or...

Only one piece missing in all that. What are you trying to record? Stereo-Mix only works with shows going through the soundcard. USB Microphones or other USB equipment (for example) don't go through the soundcard.
