You may also run into the problem that newer Windows machines also have voice conferencing software running on the Mic-In. They try to tailor the volume and fidelity automatically so you can do conference calls much better. This usually kills straight sound recording. It's not so much that Mic-In do...

You missed a step in the middle. Plug your equipment into the Blue Line-In connection. Open the Windows Control Panels and switch to Line-In.

Super and Switch (Google) are t...

I have a bunch of New Private Messages. They didn't all fit, so the system stacked them in storage. I tried to clear out some space for them, but, no. Apparently, the system will not partially "unlock" saved message. It's either all or nothing. Suppose the Saved Messages quantity is larger...

If you start experiencing an unstable Audacity 1.2, stop using it. Download Audacity 1.3.12 from here...
