The level delivered to Audacity is controlled by your windows sound services (unless one uses a USB device in which case Audacity hands control of the sound services over to the SB device). You can get a the sound services thhrough the Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices - or your soundcard dri...

Re: New User (Help!)

Certainly should work in 1.2 - I just triedin 1.2.6cutting with the CTRL+C shortcut some selected audio and then creating a new track and pasting in with the CTRL+V shortcut and it worked fine.

Re: Meter Toolbar - green output

Just click ONCE in the input meter bar and then monitoring will be turned on prior to recording (I believe that this is an undocumented feature of Audacity).

Re: sound on playback

When you plug in a USB device like this the sound services are handed over entirely to it - both input and output. So what you need to do is to reset the output sound device to be your computer's onboard soundcard - in both Audacity via Preferences and in Windows via the control panel.
