Different sound from different computers

Audacity Help Forum

I recently got a new computer and am trying to record audio with the same USB microphone as I used on the old one.

But the sound is different! In particular, I notice the amplitude is almost backwards.

I can still use both computers so I’ve gone back and forth looking at all the settings I can find and everything is the same. I tuned off “Audio Enhancements” and I think it helped a little, but not very much. I feel like I’m losing my mind! Any advice?

(For reference, old computer is Windows 10 and new is 11)

Thanks, from a newbie!
