Software is not capturing my WASAPI Desktop Audio (through headsets)
Audacity 2.4.2 has always worked in the past for me, however, suddenly it won't. My Windows version is 20H2. I'm currently trying to capture/record my desktop audio, I'm also wearing headsets right now so the output is set to those. I can hear music and everything through my headsets, however, the is no audio being picked up by the software *flatlined*. I've already have tried a lot of different methods to fix this issue; however, I'm still stuck. Any suggestions would be great thanks.

WASAPI loopback may not work with wireless headphones. Try using loopback with your computer's on-board sound card.
