Hello,
What quality cable are you recording with? I had a similar problem
recently and I replaced the cable with a higher caliber connecter and
it works like a dream. I can echo that this has nothing to do with
Audacity. I don't use it so much anymore and have Sonar these days but
the cable problem picked up through the sound card anyway.

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
