Why does my screen record pick up outside noise and not only what’s on the my mac book

Quicktime screen video record no longer records sounds from computer apps, but only my voice I am no longer able to get audio when I make a recording directly off the screen (I can record Sound externally, ie. myself talking, but not “internally”. Ive tried all the settings, and I’m sure all the volume levels are fine. This happens whether it’s QuickTime or the new Mojave “screen grab” method. Any suggestions? (I should add that the actual audio from the Mac is fine - it just won’t record). Thanks. It's almost like there's noise-reduction, because I can BLAST YouTube loudly and when I talk through the cacaphony, there's NO WAY the music in the background doesn't get recorded also. So the Macbook is either using noise reduction to get my voice clean (but it doesn't even record the background music when I'm not talking), or the macbook is suppressing any noises made by applications and only recording the sounds in the room. It makes no sense the latter, so it has to be the former-- noise reduction. So how do I turn noise reduction off? About a year ago I was able to cleanly record both my voice, and/or the noise coming from an application (like safari) that was playing on the mac. I believe the change occured with Monterey, which is what my M1 Macbook (early 2021 late 2020) is using. Or it could just be that M1 chips and motherboard aren't able to walk and talk and chew gum at the same time. Overall, I'm not terribly impressed with M1-- as a side note.

Screen Recording iTunes?:

If you are trying to record copyright data from iTunes, then recording that item's data is not an option. So, that is why outside noise it being recorded: You are looking to screen record iTunes items.
