There's two possibilities here; the recording might have gone wrong
or the playback may be going wrong.

To figure out which, open the file in a WAV editor. If there's no
waveform recording has failed, otherwise playback has failed.

If recording has failed, you may need to switch from microphone
input to line input or vice versa.
