Right. I have successfully recorded my speaking voice using a usb sound device (webcam, but that's all I got) with audacity. So you attach your usb dongle and plug in your microphone (turn it on, if it turns on), then open audacity. There are two microphone icons with drop down menus on the toolbar in audacity. Next to the lower left microphone icon, I selected 'USB Device' (hw:2,0) in the drop down menu. The mic's mono so no choice there for me. For the upper right mic icon select 'start monitoring' in the drop down menu. Now when you make a sound into the microphone the red monitoring meter should hop to the right. If that doesn't happen you can stop right there because something is wrong that must be fixed first. No meter movement--no sound input detected; you will end up with another empty wav. Press red button to record. > Rodolfo > > -- "Until the Lion learns to write, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the Hunter." — African proverb
