Click the “Audio I/O” tab. UNCHECK the boxes for “Play other tracks while recording new one” and “Software playthrough“. Then try recording again.

I used jack plugs for the first recordings, and for some reason the jack only made proper contact with the cable itself when pulled halfway out. I resolved this by just using the MONO cable, which needed no jack plug, and as if by magic, the echo vanished - not just from Audacity but from the PC playback as a whole. Hope this helps someone else too... I tried all of the above to no avail – however I discovered that it was in fact my audio cable that was malfunctioning.
