Wait. This does ring a bell. There's something about the way Vista manages its sound devices. It's not straightforward, either. We've had people with this problem plug in a microphone and have the sound services start working. Vista doesn't just provide sound services and have a happy day. Services ...

When was the last time you defragged your PC hard drive? How full is it? Audacity will create damage like this if the hard drive is crow...

<<<usb and 3.5mm mics>>> You also need to know that Audacity will only capture from one "thing." You get only one USB microphone even if you plug two in. Others on the forum will confirm that the sound card in the normal PC is pretty terrible, so the point that you take the performance fro...
