You need to have perfect pitch to use the Audacity vocal recording function.
Just kidding.
Audacity > Preferences > Audio I/O
Juggle between Software Playthrough and Hardware playthrough. Pick the one that’s least objectionable. Some don’t work and some play to your headphones late. Depends on the machine.

C’mon koz - don’t confuse the poor chap 
On Windows, it is highly recommended to NOT use “software playthrough” unless absolutely essential - it causes real bad echo delay. On Windows, “hardware playthrough” is not a selectable option - it is automatically set for hardware by default.
“play other tracks while recording new one” should usually be selected.
