Recorded sound muffled

[Lone3009]

Hi! I have been using Audacity for 1 year with a Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ Mic.
My voice was alway crystal clear until 2 days ago when I did not change anything in my set up but the recorded result sound smuffled and honestly very different from before.

I attached a before/after and you can hear the recorded sound being very different.
Again, I did not change anything in my set up/configuration at all… Is it an Audacity issue (or an equipment issue, the cable maybe?)
Thanks for the help, really need it

Windows update can re-enable “audio enhancements”.
