Re: How to get audacity to record internet sounds?

Definitely check the output sound settings for the default sample rate,
maybe force it to standard 44khz. Then set audacity record properties to
the same sample rate, possibly the default hardware input settings too,
as audacity doesn't always have complete control of the hardware settings.
