here's my situation

im trying to record a demo

the same way i have recorded many demo's

from my mixer, to my pc which uses a soundblaster audigy.

if i play the record and it runs through my pc into my pc speakers, the quality sounds fine, nothing is altered.

but when i record, and play it back it sounds all muffled, like there is a pillow on the speakers or something.

i've tried everything, downloaded new drivers, played with all the settings (i think all of them) and it all sounds the same.

i assume its a settings problem, because it sounds ok coming into my computer, just sounds bad once recorded.

help?
