Insufficient information: What mic? What interface?

My microphone is Audio Technica's AT4040 and my interface is a Scarlett 2i2. I also forgot to mention that this problem has never occurred to me before, but it started about a week ago.

The 2i2 is not available on ASIO, any idea on what to do with it?


Not really, because I don't have one. But I'll take a guess: if you open the Windows control panel and go to Sound, you might be able to reduce the level there. On this laptop, this is what an external device with an MME driver looks like:

With this device, it's fine to leave the record level set at 100, but you might need to turn yours down.
