It sounds like feedback. Instead of the rock band at the local watering hole with the volume up too far... "How're Y'all Doin'eeeeeEEEEEEEEE!", You have digital feedback. It's not just white noise. There's some spikes and servings of other tones things in there, too. I'm not a Windows elf,...

There's three hero ones: One various tech stuff: http://www.kozco.com/tech/tech.html One Audacity and sound related: http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/audacity.html And this one that I live in...

Logitech is not the most straightforward with their model numbers. As near as I can tell, their USB Desktop Microphone is called the"USB Desktop Microphone." Nobody's ever seen a part number. You can also tell Audacity to go out and look for connections right now with Transport > Rescan. Koz
