<<<"shortcircuiting" the soundcard output and input and then start recording>>> That works on Macs and PC Deskside machines, not PC laptops. For this to work you need matching High Level Line-in and Line-Out. Most PC Laptops have low-level Mic-In and it's incompatible with this trick. PC L...

You know OS-X is sitting on top of a Linux platform, right? One of the Flame/Inferno setup engineers sets up and runs his Mac from its linux command line.

You didn't go into a whole lot of specifics about how you have the computer wired and to what. If you're using th...

Audacity has preferences, too. Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O. Is it set to playback into anything you own? Back on the main edit window, do you have the output (little speaker) slider all the way up? Do you get the bouncing green sound meter when you play a clip and where do the peaks bounce? And j...

There doesn't seem to be any part of that web site willing to either let me listen to or do...

The edit window and the analysis window trade places depending on last window clicked, but they they move as one during task switching. Apple-TAB will switch between FireFox and the Audacity Group. Two events, not three.
