Hi Collin,
my guess is that the problem is that the option for sound activated recording 
is set to be on.
This can be switched off either on the transport menu, where there's a sound 
activated recording option, or in the recording category of the preferences, 
where there's Sound activated recording check box.
 
David.

Greetings, I know absolutely nothing about Audacity being a GoldWave user, but 
have
received the following from another person who needs help.
At the end of the correspondence, there is a DropBox link to a file she
created, so please, can somebody go back to her (she is not on the PC Audio
list so send privately and, if you wish, to the list). I reproduce the 
correspondence below. To: co...@pobox.com
Subject: converting cassettes to mp3
From: Janine Greening <janine.green...@googlemail.com>
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2013 22:35:49 +0100 Hello Colin I hope you don't mind me 
writing, but i know that you have been known to
convert cassettes to mp3, (i'm thinking of the archers), so i'm hoping you
may be able to help with a slight problem.  Basically, i
instaled audasity software on to my new laptop last week, (something which
i'd got on fine with on my previous laptop), and although the sound is fine
when recording, playing the files back is very  strange. Although the
overall quality is fine, the files seam to jump occasionally, so that parts
of words are missed, and the speed sometimes gets affected.  Some of these
recordings are archers tapes,
so you may understand what i mean, when I say that the gaps between scene
changes are totally missed, and i'll go from one scene into another with
know pause at all.  Do you have any suggestions about
settings i need to change? I've tried just playing around with it, but all i
seem to do is make the quality worse, or have know affect
at all, as i'm not as technically minded as some, i'm not as experienced.
If you like, i could up-load something  to dropbox and show you exactly what
I mean? I've converted a file to mp3 just to see
if it was something in audasity itself, and sent it to someone else to test,
and its having the same affect.  Again, I hope you don't mind me
writing.  Many Thanks, Janine
