Looking at your original pictures again, I think that the problem is that you are overloading the microphone itself (or the electronics in the microphone). There's not much that you can do about that other than moving the microphone further away from the sound source (your mouth?) and then use the c...

in Windows XP and earlier, recording inputs such as "microphone" or "stereo mix" could be selected in the Audacity Mixer Toolbar. Currently, the newer audio API in both Windows Vista and 7 means that inputs must be selected in Audacity at Edit > Preferences: Devices. Error openin...
