Bug Description
Using a clean install of Maverick, I tried to record my voice. I was able to get it to record through both a microphone and through the built-in mics on my laptop. However, it also recorded heavy static, almost obscuring my voice. I was able to edit it out using Audacity, but doing so required so much noise removal that it messed up my voice. This occurred whether using the internal mics, or the two different external mics I tried.
It did not occur if I changed the recording to capture from Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo: it captured it cleanly.
Any ideas?

I believe "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" is the correct setting for your sound card's microphone input. If it works with this setting, then everything is as it should be, except maybe the defaults need changing so that it works out of the box.
