If hardware playthrough is required, usually only needed for overdubbing, it is best to use an external USB or FireWire audio device that has a headphones jack for no-latency monitoring (such as the Behringer UCA 202 USB or Zoom H2 USB). Linux distributions specifically for music or media applications are likely to have JACK pre-installed, in which case low latency software playthrough can be configured in QjackCtl. ALSA has the optional alsaloop playthrough module in alsa-utils and PulseAudio has an optional module-loopback, but these modules may have noticeable latency and audio breakup. Linux: Most modern Linux systems use ALSA and Pulse Audio with no software playthrough module installed.This usually has less latency than Audacity's Software Playthrough. Windows: On some machines you can instead select your input in Windows "Sound", choose "Properties" then on the "Listen" tab, choose "Listen to this device".

In Audacity for all platforms: Choose Software Playthrough in Recording Preferences or under the Transport > Transport Options menu.

All such methods have latency and cause extra load on the computer. Using software playthrough you can route the input to the output through the computer enabling you to hear what you are recording.
