I have a problem with the audacity program. A few days ago it worked perfectly, but lately it looks different. The problem is that the wave is different and I would like it to be the same as before.
I put a picture of how it looks now.
I use it in a laptop and record from the integrated microphone. Days ago it worked perfectly and suddenly it stopped working as before. I have not touched the settings, in fact, I have factory settings and the same thing happens. I have also tried to delete it and reinstall it but nothing works.
In this photo you can see the problem:

Re: Visual problem with Audacity
Has the laptop been dropped? It looks like the built-in mic may be broken.
Try making a recording with Windows Voice Recorder (https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/hel ... e-recorder), save the recording, then import it into Audacity. Does that show the same problem?
