I would have expected "Truncate Silence" to remove that added silence.

Im also sometimes putting audio into my comp from a pioneer music centre...

Set the recording device to "Speakers (loopback)"
The name of the device may be slightly different, but it will include the word "loopback".

What settings do you have in "Edit menu > Preferences > Quality"?
