Audacity does not make USB devices, only the Audacity software. USB tape converters almost never have separate drivers. You could try the steps in the green box "Detecting USB and Firewire devices" here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#flatline . Not...

I disagree a Frequency control is "advanced". Unfortunately it's not quite as simple as just adding a frequency control. [...] Ideally the effect should have three controls for bass and three for treble (boost/cut, frequency, slope). I expect that would be too complex for some of our user...

Awright...I don't know what is going on. I opened that set of Windows windows and fiddled with the input volume. All of a sudden, the input volume on the Audacity window is working. (I have it set @ .2). This is not apparently due to anything on the Realtek controls---that one is at max. I guess th...

Still don't know how to play a record You would make things easier for yourself if you read our documentation. If you installed Audacity from the EXE installer, try Help > Manual (in web browser) from the Audacity menus. If you prefer to read online, you can follow Recording with USB turntables or ...
