For Audacity 1.3 in Windows, see the topic at the top of this page: http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=16

The "stable" version is rather old now and is due to be replaced soon with Audacity 1.4 (based on Audacity 1.3). Try recording at a different sample rate. For recording an internet broadcast there is no point recording any higher than 44.1/48kHz 16 bit. Try minimising the browser during re...

There are 4 and 8 input USB devices available (try Google) but Firewire is far more popular as dropouts can be a major headache with USB audio devices, and the more inputs/outputs the worse it gets.
