Good be some of the following:

- shitty soundcard, get a better one.
- wrong driver installed.
- audiocables defect.
- mixer outputs dirty or defect, clean them.
If thesde don't work i really don't know.. Good luck!

check if your mixer has a 'record out'
check the cables
check for any clipping in the process

What softwares doin the capture from your soundcard? Sure you have he right input, and not a built in PC mic or one from in your wiring somewhere? I always tend to forget to change my input back from pc mic to soundcard after I use skype...

How hot is the signal going into your soundcard? it sounds like your over-driving it. Try at half volume, that way, if record as a wav you can do some post editing on it, and make it all crisp and clear.
