<<<Still, I'm a little closer to a solution :) and keeping the input level below 0.5 and amplifying afterwards works for now.>>> Just a point of reference here. 0.5 or 50% is only six dB in sound levels. Television sound average is twenty dB. So normal television sound would barely appear on the blu...

<<<the new sounds coming out very "dull" compared to the originals.>>> The originals being what? Are you performing live in front of a high quality microphone? Play this 6 second piano solo in your browser, then Save The Page (piano2.wav) open it in a fresh Audacity and play it again. Soun...

<<<Ready to accept that, but why is it only affecting the line-in, not mic-in?>>> Because the protective shield on the Line-In connector is broken. These services are all unbalanced and if the shield goes away, so goes half the signal and any protection that might have been there. The Mic-In service...

<<<I guess it's the same if I just plug it in there?>>> It's not the same. The High Level Line-In should work. It's designed to handle the signals you have. The Microphone Input is designed for a really tiny electrical signal and it's easily damaged if you connect it wrong. It's pretty extreme. The ...

<<<Could anyone confirm me these problems?>>> Wouldn't surprise me. Whatever software you use to capture both sides needs to know exactly what Skype did to the pathways. The setup is highly abnormal and Skype does not Play Well With Others. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1225...

Or we could try to fix the actual analog problem instead of marshaling programmers to fix it in digital Post Production. You are overloading something ahead of the computer -- or possibly just at the sound card. <<<I'm having a weird problem when recording anything.>>> That's as close as you got to ...

What are we capturing and with what sound card? Type of computer and Operating System?
