Have you set Audacity in Device Toolbar to record from "USB Audio Codec" or similar (that is, the mixer)? If the USB Audio Codec is not visible, choose Transport > Rescan Audio Devices from the Audacity menu.

I have Windows XP. When recording, the monitor sounds great. But the Audacity recording at times has problem. (1) The right channel is consistently more quiet than the left, even when the monitor sounds balanced. (2) At varied intervals, the sound of the right channel moves to the left, for a secon...

Yes, that is what I tried to suggest :D OK I will add your votes (it's still two separate ideas). But, aren't the file creation times unreliable anyway? ...

We cannot see over your shoulder, unfortunately, and so cannot begin to help you without much more information about what sound card(s) and external audio devices you have and how microphones and other recording inputs are connected. You could possibly try a System Restore if you have that enabled i...
