If you're using Vista, try turning down the playback volume for the program that is playing (and distorting) the sound.

Thanks, Steve, but I don't know what you mean by "configuring vac." Please advise. winnjama I meant "configuring Virtual Audio Cable". I'm going back a long way and many of those old memory cells have suffered from years of rock'n'roll living, but from what I remember you could ...

(T...

-- 18dB is half and double volume to your ears We still disagree on that one :) Try editing that on a percent scale. What's that 0.0001%? Something like that. Awkward! Yes indeed, but sometimes useful to know, which is why I made a little plug-in to work it out for me. To use the plug-in, extract t...

Strange indeed, but are you really using Audacity 1.2.x?
