I suspect the problem is caused by mismatched sample rates.

Look in your Windows Sounds control panel and locate the AudioBox USB device in both the Recording and Playback tabs, and set the sample rate to 44100 in both.

It sounds like you're using an old version of Audacity.

There's a "Nyquist plug-in" available in the first post of this topic: https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=97515 Read the next few posts in that topic for clues as to how to use it. Up to date installation instructions are here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/insta...

The first, and most serious problem with that audio clip is that the recording level is too high, which has cause "clipping" (distortion). Set your recording levels to record at about -6 dB (the waveform should peak at about half the track height). Ignoring the distortion for a moment, the...

The attached file plays a sample through Audacity and is followed by what it should sound like through an audio player app.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Please describe step by step how you made that file.

I backed up the project on Dropbox - although maybe that was a mistake as it seems to be constantly syncing in order to save files as I'm working on them. Dropbox may be used to store backups, but there's a right way (safe way) to do that: 1) Save the project 2) Close Audacity. This is important as...

I was wondering if anyone knew of making advanced M3Us that support fade-in/fade-out/cross-fading information? M3U does not have support for fading or crossfading directives. Some media players have an option to crossfade between songs (such as Windows Media Player). There may be some players that ...

Enable "Software Playthrough" in "Transport menu > Transport Options".

Note that because the audio signal is being routed through software, there is a bit of delay before the sound comes out through the computer speakers. Typically the delay is around half a second.
