FT8 distorted audio, won't decode

[Peter W2IRT]

Hi all,
Whenever I bring up WSJT-X and the radio goes into DATA mode (Data A), the
audio through the speaker is extremely distorted and there is no decode at
all. Soundcard RX Levels are about 30 dB. If I switch the radio into USB I
can decode just fine, but not using the DATA mode. I haven't changed
anything in the radio or software since the last time I used FT8, about a
month ago. I've hardly even had the radio powered up for more than a couple
of hours in the last month. Any idea what could have gone wrong, or where I
can go to fix it? I'm sincerely hoping this is a software problem and that I
didn't somehow harm the receiver.

I'm not using the Noise Blanker or Noise Reduction, AGC is set to either
Fast or Slow, I'm on the main antenna, signals are very strong, and I've
tried with and without the attenuator. Nothing shows up on WSJT's traces in
Data mode.
