Audacity is only picking up this extremely loud noise and I don't know how to fix it

Any time I try to record anything it just ends up like this. Nothing comes through but this stupid noise. I only want to record something with my guitar through a sound card but anything I try to record just ends up like this sausage.

Here’s what it sounds like, for anyone curious.

You need to give us a push. We need to build your system in our heads (across multiple time zones) to do servicing.

You plugged your guitar cable into a ______ interface and the USB cable into your ____ computer.

I know what that noise is, but it’s not obvious how to get a computer to make it.

Fill in the holes.

I’ve got the same problem - just updated - trying to record a podcast using a tonor microphone - usb into laptop - works fine on other programmes - but audacity is giving me a hideous noise.

Make sure Transport > Options > Playthrough and Overdub are both off.

Exact same thing is happening to me. Everything works on all other programs (windows recorder, zoom, etc).

It’s something with the update. I downloaded 3.3.3 off of uptodown and it works fine.

This happens when recording 24 bit audio. record in 32 bit in the meantime. this bug will be fixed in 3.4.1
