Check your adio card settings and check the cable you use to connect your sp to your computer.

Right, that explains a lot, a mic input is not designed to accept a line out level signal, this explains the distortion. Either lower the input leve on the mic or get a soundcard with line input.

that's another cool thing about having a macbook--1/8" line-in jack. i like not having to mess w/ interfaces now. my m-audio firewire solo doesn't work on the newest OS from apple & i just had to stop using it

Use the SP as a soundcard. Press the menu button and access the USB/MIDI options. Set output to mix and audio should be sent via usb. Make sure to set the SP as your soundcard in Audacity's preferences.
