Are you on headphones? You can't live record with speakers running. Are you trying to self-record — are you trying to record YouTube or something on-line? Make sure your sound pathways are set up right. Self Recording establishes reverse sound pathways and if you do it wrong, it's a howling feedback path.

If you have a USB turntable, see this: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/USB_t ... hite_Noise .

Tell us exactly what you are recording and how if you need more help. Tell us what version of Windows and what version of Audacity (see the pink panel at the top of this page).
