Hi
I just recently have bought an AT2020 xlr mic and Behringer UMC22 interface.
When I plugged it the first day everything was alright.
I had gain on about ~60%, sound was good and my voice was going up to ~ -7db, signal diode was lit, and there was no clipping.
When I turned my pc on the next day something changed.
Now when I speak on ~60% gain it's clipping all the time. I have to make it about 35% for the recording to be listenable to and it still goes up to -3db at times. The signal diode almost never lights up same for the clip one. When I change gain to ~60% the diodes work the same as on the first day but even though the clip one doesn't light up whole recording is clipped.

I haven't changed anything in Windows audio settings (or any other), I'm not sitting closer to the microphone and I'm not speaking louder.

What could be the reason? Or should I not care and just adapt to the new settings?
