I'm guessing you're recording streaming audio from the Stereo Mix (or equivalent) input.

I'm also guessing you have "Software Playthrough" turned on in Audacity's eidt -> preferences -> audio i/o menu. That's the most common cause of this problem.

If you have a different issue, you have to describe it to us.
