For example, if you have a really sensitive microphone and you record a rocket engine at a distance of 5 cm, then o...

As far as the Audacity settings are concerned there is no leakage path with those settings. For a conventional (non-USB) headset it would not surprise me at all if there was a bit of leakage between the headphones and the microphone (particularly with an inexpensive headset) as the headphone signal ...

You need to reduce the gain on the Saphire 6 (the physical "gain" knobs), and reduce the recording level for the device in the Windows Control Panel. (You can also access the Windows setting and adjust it by right-clicking the speaker icon in the system tray (by the system clock) and choos...
