This shows how to set the windows volume controls, and such.

That might help you

elganto,

Start recording. Bad out a few loud chords. If the waveform touches the top or bottom of the window, then lower the slider on the menu bar that has a mic image next to it. That's your record level control.

Hmm. Well, I can't help you with audacity a whole lot, but I can recommend Kristal. I find its much better. Type it in on google, its free, and I like it lots better than audacity. However, once (and if) you get kristal, I'd recommend making audacity your external editor, becuase audacity has some features kristal doesn't, and vice versa. Any more questions about Kristal, or how to make audacity your external editor, ask away.
