I certainly don't expect you to magically know everything I'm asking and to fix all my problems. I'm already glad you've helped me get so far and are still prepared to help me out the best you can with the problems I'm encountering. I did in fact buy it from someone that I met in person. ...

Yes, against the idea you think I'm going to wave a magic wand. We are working probably thousands of miles apart and using equipment I've never actually touched. So all I can do is work from the Alesis info page, which is very well done, if sparse and personal experiences with other mixers. Did you ...

... ...) but either doesn't actually record anything, or gives the sames odd whistling noise as it does in audacity. So I could really use some help getting things set up. If your offer still stands that is. Cheers, Deomew

Still no luck, but since it works with the speakers I don't feel a tremendous urge to solve this mystery. Thanks for the help.

Then you could complain to Google about the quality of the recording and the mic level manipulation (if hangouts is the cause).

I changed my speakers' default format (bit rate & sample depth in shared mode, whatever that is) from 24 bit 48000 Hz to 24 bit 44100 Hz, and that fixed the skipping. You can read here about what Shared Mode and Exclusive Mode mean: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Windows_7_OS#sample_rates . ...

Thanks. It worked with WASAPI and speakers, whereas with headset (USB) I got an error message when I tried to record; something like "please check recording device and sample rate settings" I think. Did you set the output and input devices in Device Toolbar to the USB headset? It may be b...

I changed my speakers' default format (bit rate & sample depth in shared mode, whatever that is) from 24 bit 48000 Hz to 24 bit 44100 Hz, and that fixed the skipping. What does the bit depth do? Should I change it from 32 bit float to 24 bit in Audacity to match the speakers? Also, when I'm just...
