I’m using Audacity 2.0.0 on with Windows 7 64 bit. I’m using an Olympus LS 100 pcm recorder as a usb microphone to record music. When I play the recording, it starts off good, but near the middle or end of the recording, I hear a loud screeching noise that distorts the audio. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Do you have speakers playing?
When using a microphone you need to use headphones rather than speakers so as to avoid screeching/howling feedback.
Yes, I use headphones when I record.
Could you post a short audio sample of the screeching as it starts.
