System sounds playing through the device selected for WASAPI loopback are still captured, so you may wish to turn those off.

Indeed, if you are using only one sound card, beware that you e.g. don't open some youtube video at the same time; that will get recorded too.

I am making use of having two sound cards. When recording with Audacity, I use the onboard soundcard as the source.
(it's not-so-great analogue sound quality is irrelevant here since the audio stays in the digital domain)

My USB dac will be the primary sound device for anything else. So Audacity will then record only what plays over my onboard soundcard, and I can still use my usb dac for listening to something else without it interfering with the recording.
