It's an excerpt of the song If I Was You by Cataracs

Dang, I did all that, and it still sounds the same... does that mean the problem is with my sound card?

I'm recording off Grooveshark or my own computer by playing a track and clicking the record button so it captures sound off the computer. I am using Audacity 1.2.6 for Windows, but I also tried 1.3.2 Beta. I have Windows XP.

I have a laptop, and when I record from my computer onto Audacity, it is distorted and there is way too much base. I have checked the bit rate and other factors of quality, and everything looks fine, but it comes out distorted. Can you help?
