It's worrisome that you posted that as the actual driver. It's not. That's the installer for the driver. You need to run that and it will install the drivers or make them visible so you can install them yourself.

During recording the playbar stays ahead of the wave form is this normal? Yes. The playbar isn't right on top of things, either. All the graphic systems take a back seat to the actual capture of the sound. Audacity doesn't do anything in real time except capture and playback. All the rest of the sy...

I was literally about to record with the bar/line moving across the screen. Then I stopped it by closing it down. as I have done before on many occasions. Wait. You were about to record? What bar was moving? IMHO, stopping a recording (or any process) by closing the application is loudly begging fo...

I'm going to get into trouble here. Open the show as a mono track. When you touch the pan controls (left of the track) Audacity will automatically generate a stereo show and it will follow the controls left, right, or whatever.

Do you have an iPod or other music player? Can you plug that into the blue socket and see if that plays OK. If you set normal headphone playback, that should give you reasonable Line level.

That's your basic Audio DIN plug. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_connector Yes, unless somebody makes a DIN to stereo 1/8" audio (or whatever it is in mm), you'll be constructing it. The Line-In on most modern Macs is the circle with two black arrows pointing in. It's a very nice stereo analo...

If I stop the recording but keep playing the tape, the tape still sounds bad - until I I hit the stop button on the boom box. The I hit the boom box play button again - presto! Good sound again. Seeming insanity like that could be caused by Windows trying to "help you." Newer Windows mach...
