Here's an audio sample of what it's doing today:

Todays Sample2.wav

Is that before or after applying Noise Reduction?

Newest version I hate it when people say that :D Given that we don't know where you downloaded it from, we don't know for certain that it really is the newest version. On Windows, the actual version number can be found in "Help menu > About Audacity". If you are using "Audacity 2.4.2...

A short sample mp3 file has been attached

Does this file import correctly for you? (It's just a 10 second stereo "chirp" created in Audacity)

I must've had that project open another time and Audacity must've crashed. That sounds possible - or perhaps you had the project open in Audacity (possibly minimized) and shut down the computer while the project was still open.

Recording device = Line In (TASCAM US-322)
Playback device = Speakers (TASCAM US-322)

Which exact version of Audacity?

Your profile says "macOS", but you've posted in the Windows forum. Do you use both? Does the problem happen on both?
