Recording with Audigy Platinum

Hi,
I'm using XP SP2 and Audacity 1.3.9 with Creative Audigy Platinum sound card. I can import audio files and I can record from line-in no problem. However, I cannot record direct from the sound card. I have played WAV files in my other sound programs and Windows Media Player, but when recording it seems there is some sort of loop-back as the recording track in Audacity shows even a simple one ring bell to ring and ring building up to a crescendo.
I only have the line out connected to speakers, all options but Wave are muted in the Play Control and only WAVE is selected in the Recording Control.
Can anyone suggest a solution, please?

Kind regards, Paul

Paul,

that's called "feedback".

Go to Edit > Preferences > Recording and uncheck the box that says Software Playthrough ....
