Also, plugged in my USB headset/mic (Microsoft Lifechat 3000) to test the PAVU Control and the device shows up not in recording tab but does appear in Input Devices and Output Devices but I cannot see how to make that default. In this example, the "Internal Mic" is the default. To change ...

So is it actually playing through speakers or headphones?

What settings do you have in the device toolbar?

I've just tested the latest development code, and what andraaspar is trying to do now works as expected.

Taking into account the solo/mute button settings would not break the rule. Muting should really be treated no differently from having an amplitude envelope at (linear) zero.

I noticed that duplicating tracks does not respect "Simple" Solo button mode. Duplicate one soloed and one muted tracks and you now have two soloed tracks that breaks the "Simple" rule of only one track soloed. An interesting point. It's not actually breaking any rules because t...

Sometimes I get a latency error (which I don't understand). That usually means that the recording has stalled almost immediately and that because it is not the first track in the Audacity project, the "latency correction" settings have pushed the tiny bit of recording that exist before th...
