Do you mean Audacity 2.0.6?
That's quite an old version now. the current version is 2.1.2 which is available here: http://www.audacity.audio/download/windows/

You may have turned on "Software Playthrough" by accident. Turn it off in the "Transport" menu.

unticked it ... bingo.... I can record audio live on line again
