Hey, Good news...……..got it working by a process of elimination

Excellent news. What fixed it for you?

Audacity does not fully support high dpi, and some of the graphics are small bitmaps (a limitation of the GUI toolkit that Audacity uses).

Please post a short audio sample (5 or 6 seconds) in WAV format (see: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=72887)

In the "Transport menu > Transport options", ensure that "Software Playthrough" is off (not selected).
Also ensure that you use headphones and not speakers while recording.

The sound is fine when recording to the H1N, but when I run it into Audacity as a USB mic, the sound is "tinny" and lacks any low end. Are you sure that Audacity is picking up the H1N and not your laptop's built-in mic? Try gently tapping your fingernail on the microphone guard of the H1N...

I am running into the personal issue where sometimes I speak too loud or speak too quietly. I am uncertain what function I should use to balance it. If you are looking to produce professional quality voice recordings (for example, audiobooks), you need to fix the problem at source - practice mainta...

I was looking at them as Audacity installed in Windows 8 compatibility when I downloaded it.

You're not telling me something. What do you mean "Audacity installed in Windows 8 compatibility"? Where, why, how did you see that?
What was the original problem?
