What's the numbered version of Audacity?

Do you like recording on-line content like YouTube sound?

Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Recording: [X] Overdub. That should be the only thing selected.

Audacity Device Toolbar > Microphone Symbol (recording). That should be your single recording device such as USB input or Built-In Microphone. It should not be the setting you use for recording YouTube videos.

Use headphones. You should never have a live microphone and speakers in the same room.

Anything?

It should not be "Microsoft Sound Mapper" either. You have to explicitly set the input device that you are actually recording from.
