Can Audacity record anything else like the built-in microphone or the analog line-in?

Koz

Is it stereo?

Did you restart Audacity? Sometimes you need that before system settings change.

That's Panther, isn't it? Which Audacity do you have? Audacity > About Audacity.

<<<I only have 512MB of memory>>> That didn't ring any bells with anybody? That's not enough internal memory for live audio production.
