Windows will have no idea what to do without the RealTech drivers. Windows will treat your card like a plain stereo SoundBlaster card without all the fancy extra channels and services.

Did you get a driver disk when you installed the card? Maybe you can get the extra software via download.

I'm fascinated you don't hear it until you export. I can clearly see significant damage in the waveform during the "P" sounds. You need to work with me here, does it happen if you Export As WAV? The hollow sound is phase cancellation between the two microphones. When the Zoom gives you the...

You may have a really badly damaged Audacity and that's why it's stuck. Go into Windows Add-Remove Programs and see if it will let you remove the program. Then download a fresh install and start over. Audacity 1.3 and up keeps operating preferences in an audacity.cfg file. Audacity 1.2 kept that inf...

Wait, are you complaining about the popping and thumping "P" sounds? The performer was too close to the microphone. You can make that problem go away with a pop and blast filter between the lips and the microphone... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation?q=pop+filter&st= You can mi...
