I Want To Record Myself Singing...

...but I can't hear the music I'm trying to sing to.

I have Audacity 1.2.6 for a Windows 7 laptop. The below attachment is what I'm seeing. What should I do? Is this covered in the FAQ's?

I hope someone can help me out.

Importing More than a Second

Help! I am trying to import music into Audacity, and every time I do it, all that plays is less than half a second of bleep. Am I too zoomed in? Do I need to adjust something before importing? I am very new to Audacity, so it might be something really simple. Thanks!

Re: Samson Q1U Mic not working - help

Which operating system do you have?

My guess is that you're on Windows 7 or Vista and that is windows' "enhancements" for voice conferencing software getting in action...

Re: Cannot choose source

It has been obvious - at least for some - for a long time, that I have 7, otherwise I would not have the problem, according to them.

Did this example answer your question in a non-technical way?
Absolutely


Did that help solve your problem in any way?
No, I still need to record from net radio.

Samson Q1U Mic not working - help

For over a year I was using a Samson Q1U mic with audacity, no problem, and then it began to malfunction in the following way -- it recorded, but very faintly, had to shout into the mic to get anything.
