Audio Quality goes to crap

[Regularjake55]

Ok, so first of all it's not the audio that is just coming out of the computer into my headphones that sounds bad, it's the audio I get when I plug an AUX cable into my speaker jack and plug the other end into my Mic In jack (which is what I am trying to accomplish) I will include a crappily drawn picture of what I am trying to do and I will also include an audio sample of what the quality is like.

Steps to fix slow and distorted sound when recording your computer's system audio:

1. Right clicking the speaker icon next to the clock in the lower right of your screen choose "Playback devices"

2. Right click on the currently selected speakers and choose the "Configure Speakers" option.

3. Make sure the "Audio channels" setting is set to "Stereo".
