It seems to be basically the same as what is written in this post (pinned to the top of the Windows forum board): viewtopic.php?f=46&t=100117

I tried this but my settings were already ok.

My problem is that audacity was fine for several weeks and recording well off youtube with no problems. Then all of a sudden when I record I get only flat lines like it is not picking up any sound from my Lenovo X1 laptop.
I am using windows. Anyone any suggestions or fixes please?

The "WASAPI loopback" method is usually reliable: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tut ... ndows.html
