Fixed! Thanks everyone for thinking along, the issue could easily be fixed by changing the driver mode in preferences. I simply didnt know where to look.

Changed driver mode from WASAPI shared to ASIO and now everything sounds like it should

Hi all,

I own a Positive Grid Spark amp, which allows you to connect over usb and hook up as an audio interface with an ASIO driver.

When I try to record this in Cakewalk, it sounds terrible (bitcrushed and pitched). When I try to record the same in windows 10 voice recorder it sounds fine, which makes me think it is *something* specific to Cakewalk.

What I did:

- Installed the Spark audio driver

- Created a new cakewalk 'basic' project

- Selected 'Spark L/R/S' (tried all 3) on the input of channel 1

- Hit record

- Results sounds like absolute trash

- I double checked that both my project and driver are set to 48khz sample rate. Buffer on driver is set to 512 samples (default).

- Within windows voice recorder the same set up sounds fine

Be warned! I have attached a recording of the  terrible result, for all that is holy do not play this file on loud volume you will blow your ears and speakers.
