How can I get rid of that icon? I wanna click wherever I want in the bar so Audacity starts to playback, even if it's 1 sec earlier from the last clicked zone. I hope you understand the problem, my english level is not perfect so I can't explain it better. I now have a fix for this. It is too late ...

WOULD anybody record at 100%? As others have said, it depends on the equipment. 100% may mean "maximum amplification", which will probably introduce too much "hiss" noise. 100% may mean "no attenuation", so that you get the full signal - less than 100% simply reducing ...
