YES - it works doing something with Configuration tab. Thank you. Also strange the recording tab shows only when Audacity is in live Record mode. But not before idle mode. – YumYumYum Feb 1 at 12:20

To define the recording source for any recording application we may install pavucontrol Install pavucontrol.

As soon as we record any audio stream the name of the recording application and the source from where it records will be shown in the Recording tab. We then may be able to change the source to Monitor of <your soundcard> to record the output of our soundcard:

We may have to choose another audio profile in addition. This can be done from the "Configuration"-tab of pavucontrol, e.g. a "Duplex" sound profile for output of the microphone to our local audio sink:
