Default Highly compressed/distorted audio recording problem

Hello people

I have a recent problem with recording audio in Reaper. When I record something the audio sounds highly compressed and distorted. I use a mackie profx16v2 mixer as an interface to record the master to reaper (windows 10). All the recording levels are normal and it used to work perfectly fine. When I try to do the same recording in audacity it sounds normal.

If i import audio in reaper that i didnt record myself or recorded in audacity in reaper there is no problem. When I render in WAV it is compressed/distorted, when I render in flac no problem.

I tried reinstalling reaper, changing buffersizes and so on but nothing seems to solve the problem? Any one know what I am overlooking (software hardware)? Any insight on CPU, RAM etc? Is it my latop that cannot handle Reaper anymore ?

Thanks in advance

Long shot but might you have any codec's running on the machine?
Reason I ask is you state it works on Flac and not wav.
unless I misunderstand your statement.
Any FX on the project?

Hope you get it sorted!

How can I know this? I dont have too much knowledge and experience with codecs.

When all is normal the audio somtimes glitches a little bit with lots of FX on. But that is because my computer is getting a little bit older but still OK to be functional.

As stated a long shot, if you loaded some you would know. and as you said it worked before.
