Set the MM or MC switch on the Project correctly. If you are connecting the Project line out to the computer, connect to the blue line-in port of the computer, not to the pink microphone port. The microphone port will be mono or poor stereo and may distort. If you are connecting Project to the compu...

It could have broken my audio device? Are you for serious? Yes, if you did not have a Realtek sound device. From the sound of it, you do have Realtek. We just don't want other users who may have SoundMax, IDT or other sound devices to go downloading a generic Realtek driver thinking it will solve t...

If your computer froze up, it isn't Audacity that is causing the problem, but some low level problem on your computer, possibly to do with drivers.

your idea couldn't possibly work. First of all, I don't want to use the "line-in" Glad you got it fixed, but you were really lucky to get a generic Realtek driver to work for you and to add stereo mix into the bargain. For many people this would not work and could break the audio device c...

Also if you cannot stop Audacity producing output from the recording (though I would say this is broken if you followed all the steps), left-click the speaker icon by the system tray, click "Mixer", then mute the volume slider for Audacity. This lets you keep the sound output from other ap...
