Hi guys,
I'm try to record an audiobook with a new microphone and audacity. I did disable the laptop onboard microphone on Windows 10, then I've enabled the external microphone as well.
When I launch the record with audacity I got 2 problems:
Here is the screen shots.
If I use another recording software, for example Recordpad all it's working with the same setup of my windows 10
Any ideas?

1) Ensure that the external mic is enabled before you launch Audacity. If you enable it after, you will need to tell Audacity to "Rescan audio devices" (in the "Transport" menu).
2) Ensure that the external mic is selected as the recording device in the device toolbar.
