AUDACITY CONFIGURATION FOR WINDOWS

1. Launch Audacity: Click on the Start menu on the bottom left of your
screen. Select All Programs, then Audacity.
2. In Audacity, click on the Edit menu at the top of the screen.
3. Select Preferences from the Edit menu.
The Audacity Preferences window will come up (Figure 2). Choose the
Audio I/O tab from the top of the Preferences screen.
4. Set your Playback Device to your internal sound card. Since different
computers have different internal sound cards, your selection may be
different from the image below (Figure 2). The correct selection, however,
will NOT be USB Audio Codec, Microsoft Sound Mapper or Modem.
5. Set your Recording Device to USB Audio Codec. This represents your
microphone.
Note: The USB microphone may show up with a different name in the
Preferences window. This may depend on your computer model and
operating system. 99% of the time it will contain "USB" in the Name.
6. Set Channels to 2 (Stereo).
7. Check the box labeled Software Playthrough.
