When the Audacity recording and playback sliders are linked, adjusting either slider will often not affect the level already being recorded. This will often happen if in Audacity you set the (loopback) recording device to the same built-in device as the one selected for playback. On many other devices, the Audacity recording volume and playback volume sliders will be "linked" so that both sliders move when you move either slider, and either slider will affect the level of the audio that you hear. If this does not work then Audacity will record at a fixed, safe level irrespective of the playback level of the audio. This is best done in the application that is playing the audio, for example the video or audio player on the website you are recording from. To control the recording level on those systems, you can try adjusting the playback level of the audio. On some devices the Mixer Toolbar recording volume slider will be grayed out when selecting the Windows WASAPI host, and even if not grayed out, the device may not support Audacity or the system input slider adjusting its volume. The behavior of the Audacity playback and recording sliders may vary according to the sound device you are recording from. 
Playback and Recording sliders when using WASAPI When there is no active signal, recording pauses and will restart once an active signal resumes. Windows WASAPI host only records loopback when there is an active signal present.
Alternatively, choose the Windows WASAPI loopback recording method instead. Go to the Windows Control Panel to see if stereo mix can be enabled. Make sure you have the latest correct audio drivers meant for your version of Windows. This input could be called "Stereo Mix", "Wave Out", "Sum", "What U Hear", "Loopback" or other names, depending on your sound device. 
In the Recording Device box, look if there is an input meant for recording computer playback. In Device Toolbar (pictured below) or in Devices Preferences, choose "MME" or "Windows DirectSound" in the Audio Host box.
Otherwise you will hear and record echoes or distorted sound.Ĭhoosing the recording device in Audacity If the item has a checkmark, click it to turn off playthrough.
