Ok, Rick, pure test here - I have a custom built desktop PC, but, it
does have a realtek onboard sound card in use.
I do have the microphone plugged into the rear socket, and, not the
socket mounted on the front panel at this stage- could try that if
really necessary, but, don't think necessarily needed here, since think
could almost replicate the issue.
Or, maybe not, but, let me explain.
I used the generate menu, chirp to just add a demo sound to a track and
then copy and paste it multiple times, so it plays repeatedly.
If I then select all, and, tell the transport menu to move cursor to
beginning, and then try record, it still only appends microphone input
to end of track, after the test sounds, and, inserted into a newly
generated track?
However, if I first tell it to insert a new stereo track, select all and
shift cursor to beginning, but then make sure the initial track is
unselected, but, the second, new track is selected, then when I initiate
recording, I can talk over the test sound, without them seeming to
interfere with each other's volume levels, but, lined up to match the
timing I was listening to while recording?
I did get a bit of crackling in the microphone recording, but, hadn't
bothered plugging in earphones, so, the speakers were busy spitting out
the repeated chirping sound while I was busy.
Anyway, like said, this is a custom built PC, but, can otherwise
specifically try out front microphone socket if you want, but, all
really meant was you should double-check that the voice recording is not
just being appended to the end even if you heard the initial audio
playing back while speaking.

Hi guys and thanks for the heads up:
I did muck allot with any settings I could find in Windows to no avail unless I missed a setting.
So I did a clean install of my operating system to remove any junkware.
The only software I have downloaded is NVDA and audacity so the potential apps I need to check is, hopefully, limited.
I would still like to hear from anyone using the internal sound card to see if the Windows10 / realtech combination can be made to work by tweaking some settings within windows or some related app I have not yet considered.
I will start scouring my machine again for potential problem areas.
I hope someone has already had this problem and found a fix, sigh.

Rob, probably a silly question, but, make sure NVDA is not set to lower other audio volumes when speaking, and, maybe, try putting it to sleep while playing/recording, just in case?
Stay well

Hi:
I am using a recent Dell XPS computer, Windows10 Pro, the
preinstalled Realtech audio card, 3.5 plug Mike in front panel,
NVDA and Audacity.
When I generate a Click track and then play it while recording a
test vocal track over it I am having a problem.
Apparently every time a click is played either the volume of the
second vocal track is lowered way down or cut out all together.
If I record a long solid EEEEEEEEEk
While listening to the click track I hear
E, E, E, E, E, k with short silence between each e where a click
would otherwise have been played after I mute the click track.
I had this happen in Reaper as well and one fellow suggested I buy
an audio interface.
I am asking if anyone has done a overdubbing multi-track recording
using just the internal sound card and a mike to see if it may
just be some setting causing the problem.
I will likely get an audio interface but the Berringer I want is
out of stock and will be for some time to come.
If this problem would not be resolved using an audio interface
that would just be more wasted time and money so I am looking
around to see if anyone else has addressed this problem or has a
similar setup that is working correctly.
P.S. I used headphones so as not to get any playback feedback via
the audio output and the external mike.
Thanks for any help:
