Virtual Cable Line "trial" issue (aka "help, my audio is gone")

So as some of you may know, I've spent the past year or so recording and editing a biweekly podcast. Tonight we recorded a two hour long session (a really good episode, too), but on export learned that the audio we'd recorded had been replaced with a woman's voice saying "trial" over and over again.
Pretty soon I traced the issue to a PC program called Virtual Audio Cable that I had installed a while back but never actually used. The program was still hooked into Audacity (which is what we record with), but I would just bypass that option when selecting my recording device. It appears that somehow this program cut into our audio halfway through and replaced the entire file with this "trial" watermark. So the actual recording we made seems to just be gone, at least within Audacity.
I'm sure if I bought the actual non-trial version of this program this wouldn't happen in the future, but I don't use the program and plan on uninstalling it before our next session anyway. My real question is whether or not the recording we made is, in fact, recoverable. I don't mind paying to unlock it, but I don't know enough about any of this software to know if that would work.
I know it's a longshot because this stuff is presumably kind of obscure, but does anyone here know if it's possible to get my recording back? Or should I just give up on it?
