Audacity Forum

Well, I thinked I've fixed my problem - maybe this will help you.

In your preferences, make sure the Software Playthrough (Play new track while recording it) option in UNchecked. I don't know how mine got checked, as I've recorded before, but somehow it did.

Hope that helps

I have exactly the same problem and am searching the forums for a solution. Hopefully someone will have an answer!
