So you are recording from your turntable, through your home stereo, into the Sound Blaster Line input? Have you checked the Sound Blaster Mixer Recording level settings? (look for the icon near the system clock). Note that Record settings and Playback settings in the mixer are completely different -...

In case something in your Audacity preferences has become corrupted, you can reset the preferences by the procedure here: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Audacity_Preferences#Where_are_Preferences_stored.3F_2 If that does not work, then it may be that a Vista update has messed something...

If you would like somewhere to upload it, PM me and I'll sort a bit of web space out for you. Re. integrating with Audacity - I've been looking into Nyquist plug-ins rec...
