can you confirm that my block diagram a few posts back, is indeed correct?

Yes. The plug-in acts on the track data (B), not on the post-fader playback stream (C).

The effect is called "Noise Reduction": https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/noise_reduction.html The default setting provide a good starting point. Tweaking the settings to suit the audio may produce better results, but if the settings are too strong it will cause unpleasant metallic artif...

In other words, you are saying that the Youlean AU plugin measures the playback level and not the level of the audio data. Looking at your illustrations again, I got that wrong way round. You are saying that the plug-in measures the level of the audio data, not the playback level. That's normal for...

I have checked on the Behringer website and they do not provide a driver version 2.8.40 for anything. As far as I can tell, it appears that the &q...

That's unfortunate - not very helpful ;) Try downloading the latest version of Audacity (See: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/) Ensure that Audacity is not running. Run the installer, and look out for the option to "Reset Preferences". Ensure that option is selected (enabled)...

@flynwill You will probably find it useful to add this header while debugging: (see: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyqu ... debugflags)
