Not "fixed", just "greatly improved" (provided that you use the right tool for the job)

Ideally what I would like is a "one size fits all" method of DC offset correction, but achieving that is not easy, particularly if it is to work reasonably quickly in Nyquist,

I presume that you are on Windows?
If by any chance you are on Linux or Mac, you could just switch to a different work space ("Spaces" on Mac).
Apparently there are third party add-ons for Windows that provide this functionality, such as VirtuaWin.

The image is just a quick "sketch" of one possible option. Most operating systems already include an editor that will do the task perfectly well (in Windows it is called NotePad ;)) but we perhaps want a method that is less open to user error (but also less versatile). The code that reads ...

Are you sure that it is the playback that is skipping and not the recording?
Do you have any older recordings that previously played back OK? If so, do they still play back OK?
(and the usual Windows trick - have you tried rebooting the computer?)

If instead at step 4 I remove the offset using Effect > Normalize then I can maximise the noise to 0 dB as expected using Amplify or Normalize. Similarly, if you use: Effect > DC offset: Remove offset / Absolute In step 3 you added an "absolute offset" of +0.84, so the best way to remove ...

If you are on Vista or later, you may need to enable "2 channel Stereo" in the Windows Sound Control Panel . Ensure that Audacity is set to record 2 channels stereo in the Device Toolbar . If you still have problems, please tell us what the make and model number of the USB device is, and w...

When you have downloaded the agc.ny file, put it into the Audacity Plug-ins folder. On Windows computers, this is usually under "Program Files".
Then restart Audacity. The AGC effect should then appear in the Effect menu below the dividing line.

Your microphone does not appear to be enabled in Windows. The only information I found on Google for the RAINBOW RB-708U was one small picture - it appears to show some sort of control widget built into the USB lead - does that have any microphone controls? Is the microphone turned on? Check in the ...
