Audacity is now recording everything

Hi,
Same system - Windows 10 lenovo ideapad 64 bit

I realized the problem did not start until Wed night, right about 730p to record a program. Everything else before that Tuesday night was fine. There were no updates that I am aware of.

I deleted it and restarted my computer, then downloaded 2.3.0 again. Now audacity is recording the outside/room noises, the lap top noises - keyboard and mouse, and then what I want to record on the web, all at the same time.

Thank you,
Michele

Try these settings in Audacity preferences: "WASAPI" & Loopback ...

Then restart Audacity, it should then only record the computer-output (e.g. web-browser), not the computer microphone.
