Stereo mix was working but is now muffled

When recording stereo mix on windows 10 the sound is low and muffled almost like it is only recording low pitch. It was working perfectly a few weeks ago but I cannot get this problem to go away even after restoring settings to default and reinstalling audacity. Anyone know how to fix this?

Perhaps a driver update for your audio device has caused a problem. I would try Windows WASAPI loopback recording and see if that works http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_windows.html#wasapi.

Note that you need to check (tick) the “Reset Preferences” box in the Audacity installer in order to reset settings.

This worked thanks! However I still find it strange that I was able to record with stereo mix earlier but it no longer works.
