in a zoom call Is that what you want to record? It is notoriously difficult / unreliable to record Zoom (or any other voip app) with Audacity. The easy and reliable way is to use Zoom's built-in record feature. If you mean you want to record something else (not Zoom), then please say what you want ...

Direct monitoring should be independent of the computer (other than for power). Perhaps there's a problem with your leads, or something is not pressed that was pressed previously? Work through the entire signal chain from guitar to headphones to try and find where the signal disappears.

They would certainly have access to much more sophisticated (and expensive), purpose made software, but just as importantly they would have training and experience us...

I know you said you tried lots of options, but just to check, did you try with "host" set to "MME" in the Device Toolbar?

Any idea what happened, Sorry, no idea in this case - it could have been anything. Computers are incredibly complex machines, and working with audio (or video) pushes them quite hard because there is so much data being moved around. mostly removing dead air Perhaps the "Truncate Silence" ...

'Pseudo Stereo' is a "Nyquist effect". One of the limitations of Nyquist effects is that they treat empty track space as if it was silence. Thus if the selection includes empty track space, it will be converted to silence by Nyquist effects. You may be able to work around this limitation b...
