That's why I needed the pint -- and the break. It's precisely like walking into the funhouse while on really good painkillers and then have somebody say, "Describe exactly what's happening." "Pretty............" This is what the system level panels look like for sound. USBCodecs....

You can test the system by pulling the cable out of the guitar system and touching the tip of the 1/4" plug, similar to this.. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/touch.jpg The other hand should be holding the plastic or rubber parts of the cable. That should drive Audacity nuts if it's recordin...
