I've tried on both the beta version and the latest stable version both giving the same effect. Forget the "stable" version - it is very old and known to have problems with Vista and later. Audacity 1.2.x is no longer maintained so these problems will not be fixed. Check in the Windows Con...

connected to the pc using usb to 3.5 headphone jack What is this "usb to 3.5 headphone jack"? I suspect that the USB connection has been lost. You could try connecting the USB to a different USB socket on the computer. Avoid using a USB hub - it must be connected directly to the computer....
