Make sure you’ve selected your USB device as your Recording Device. (Don’t select anything that says “loopback”.)

Check your Permissions/Privacy Settings to make sure Audacity is allowed to use the microphone.

Make sure Windows “enhancements” are turned OFF.

You can test the microphone with Listen To This Device (without Audacity).

I don’t know of any USB microphone that supports that, but the drivers should up-sample.
