I think I may have fixed this by changing the Driver Mode to MME. It seems to be working now.

tecknot, Thanks for the quick reply. I am using a ThinkPad T580 laptop with its internal sound card (RealTek High Definition Audio). My headset is plugged in through the headset jack on the laptop. I have the driver mode set to WASAPI Shared. My headset is plugged in through the headset jack on the laptop. This is a new laptop. I previously used CbB in the exact same way on ThinkPad E560 and it worked without any problem and it used the same drivers and sound card. I'll see if I can use that one again to see if it has any issue with it now. CORRECTION: My older laptop had Conexant hardware and it still works fine. So, perhaps its the RealTek that is the issue.

I am using the latest update of Cakewalk. I'm just using the standard downloaded version with no extra plugins and just using a normal headset w/ mic. I'm attempting to do vocal recording from the headset mic on one track while listening to the other tracks. Previously, I had no troubles with this at all. It worked great. Now, I'm having troubles. The recording level drops to nearly nothing if I don't mute all of the other tracks. If I record with all other tracks muted, the recording level is fine. As soon as I try it with even 1 track unmuted, the level drops. The waveform is nearly flat. If I listen to the recording, it is inaudible unless i pump my volume all the way up and hear it very faintly. The levels look good before clicking the Record button. I can provide any information you need. Thanks!
