Why am I getting room sounds when I am recording from a cassette usb machine using Audacity on my laptop? The cassette machine is plugged in to the USB port.
While your casette machine is recording but there’s no tape in there, scratch the laptop where the built-in microphone is (you may have to look that one up). I bet the scratching comes through loud and clear.
Post back how it goes.

So, all I have to do is turn the computer mic off?
Make sure to select the USB device as your Recording Device. (And don’t select anything that says “loopback”.)
