Look for a knob on or under the turntable to turn the output volume down. USB inputs are often said to be "hot" on Windows Vista and later. Sometimes it is suggested this is because most USB audio input devices (even USB turntables and USB cassette decks) are seen by Windows as "micro...

I closed out Audacity a couple of times and restarted. Didn't work. Then I upgraded to the latest version and it still didn't work. Are you looking underneath the divider in the Effect Menu, near the bottom? Edit > Preferences: Effects. Under "Enable Effects", make sure "Nyquist"...

I had mentioned that realtek drivers for xp, is there for long time. But recently they thave updated their drivers for windows 7, which has come handy to the users of those older model intel mother boards, to whom interacting as well downloads are nowadays discontinues. My problem solved once i hav...

Thanks for the tip on the recording control panel - everything was as it should be. However I'm still getting very low levels from my microphone. When I use my laptop's internal microphone, I get nice strong levels up to -6 or -12. When using my fancy external microphone, I can't get above -36. Whe...

The white section between 0.5 and -0.5 is because you enabled Multi-Tool , which in turn enables a volume envelope that has that whit...

Thanks for the post, TonyVA408. I also saw a forum post suggesting that updated audio drivers should be obtained from the Realtek web site. However, seeing how they write their supporting documentation, I got the impression it may not be safe for ordinary computer users to be looking for solutions t...

I THINK IT IS THE RECORDING LEVEL AS THE WAVE FORM BARELY GOES ABOVE THE VERTICAL LINE. THE HEADSET USES TWO PLUG INS, A PINK AND A GREEN ONE. OK, thanks. Have you checked for a boost or AGC control for the mic in Windows Sounds and Audio Devices? This may be behind an "Advanced" button. ...
