Does Audacity have permission to use your microphone? Windows requires this for any recording, regardless of whether you are recording with a microphone or recording anything else.
Yes, Audacity has microphone permission. Yes Windows updates automatically.
How are you doing that? “Stereo Mix”? “WASAPI loopback”? Some other way?
I reset to WASAPI and seems to work again. Some of my parameters had changed. Thanks for the help.
