Which one ?
"play other tracks while recording new one" is ticked by default.

Running Audacity 1.2.4 and 1.2.6 under Vista. No sound when recording.

Another site directed me to:
Control Panel / Sound / Record-tab
Right-click in area listing devices
Select to Show Disabled Devices

A new "speaker" was displayed.
Right-click / properties this new device.
DISABLE this device.
Close all windows back to Control Panel.

Audacity now played sound as I recorded records.
Sound on my Vista system seems to work properly
for other programs.
