You need to have a tick in the box next to it.

You are using the wrong version of Lame. See here: http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=9175

Try setting the sample rate to 48kHz - it could be that your sound card does not like 44.1kHz

If that does not work, please give more information. Tell us about your system, tell us how much slower it is playing.

Go into the control panel and find the "Sounds and Audio Devices" settings. Check what is set for the recording and playback devices. While you are there, try previewing a sound from the Windows sounds (alerts) options to check that it is working. If no sound from Windows system sounds, op...

That's true, but there is a little workaround trick.
Apply a high-pass filter (at 20Hz will do the job without messing up the sound), and then repair the transitions where the edit points were (with the "Repair" effect).

The harddisks (3 at the moment) are defragmentated automatically every week, and in between, if my tune-up program thinks it necessary. Just make sure that your tune up program does not think that defragmenting is necessary while you are recording. A well behaved tune up program should not do that,...
