It's also possible you're recording from the wrong "device." If you like recording internet audio, you'll be recording from a "fake" digital device like Stereo-Mix, or What-U-Hear. You need to change that to a real device in the Device Toolbar or Audacity Preferences to Mic-In or...

This specific problem is probably traced back to Windows Enhanced Services. http://manual.audacityteam.org/help/manual/man/faq_recording.html#enhancements It's there to help with conferencing and it's default on the microphone services.
