I changed the first thing (I don't really know what there called I only recently started using it) from MME to Windows WASAPI That's the "host" setting in the Device Toolbar . Used it to record audio in a discord call Audacity is not really suitable for recording conversation over Discord...

Sorry, it said that the format was MPEG

What's the rest of the info? MediaInfo gives a lot of information, including sample rate, bit rate, number of channels ...
Just copy and paste the whole lot into your reply.

In that example, you want the project name to be "Marilyn Manson - We Are Chaos.flac"? Are you aware that the audio in Audacity tracks are decoded copies of imported files? When you import a FLAC file, the track in Audacity is NOT FLAC encoded, it is PCM (By default, "32-bit float PCM...
