speakers, and the sound is then picked up by the in-built mic. Whe
played back the recording has extraneous noises and echoes on it - from

sound card. But I can't work out how to do this. Please can someone

Normally you'd select the input from the sound device which you want to record. It
appears your selection is currently the Microphone input.
Why not select Line-In?
