Latency with Microphones and Soundblaster Audigy Soundcard

2013-01-17 Thread Samuel Wilkins
Hello everyone, I am using a Soundblaster Audigy 2zS Soundcard in Windows 7,
and whenever I plug in a microphone, be it USB or direct, I get latency when
listening to it through headphones , and that causes problems when
recording, mainly that the echo is very distracting.  Does anyone know why
this is?

Its very strange that even a USB mic give you latency. Can you set the
buffer size of the sound blaster? I don't no how accessible its
control panel are as I don't have one. That is why I love focusrite
soundcards, because they have a direct monitor function. This by pass
the pc  and you here what you recording directly. Anyway, I guess that
something between the headphones and the master output is rong.

I couldn't find anything about the buffer size in the Creative Audio
Console.

AHello Samuel,

I think you need to be monitoring the microphone input not the main 
output. This is where the delay is coming from.

If you are already doing this, we need to look further.

Regards,

Joe

Hello Joe, what I am doing is to choose the microphone in recording devices,
choose properties, and choose to listen to the device.  I saw a youtube
video on how to reduce the latency, however that was with a realtech
soundcard, and I am not sure of the Creative equivalent to the Realtech
sound manager.
