Audio Delay via Line In on Sound Card

[1DMF]

Hi,

Another thing I have found is an audio delay from line in, this same problem occured in Vista SP2.

Everything worked fine until then, I didn't worry too much in Vista SP2 as I new i'd be getting Win7.

But it seems it has the same problem, I can no longer DJ using the line in to record and monitor as the audio plays at a diferent timing via the PC than it does in the headphones in the mixer, making beat matching impossible.

Is there a way to fix this, is there something I can bypass or uninstall to make windows let go of my sound device?

MS have got some serious problem with their OS's lately, I'm even considering going back to XP, I don't need this constant aggrevation!

You could also try the following:

Go into control panel>sound

click on speakers and select properties

go to levels and scroll down to line in. Make sure that it's unmuted and has the volume turned up.

Now click okay, go to the recording tab, and select line in's properties

go to the listen tab, and uncheck "listen to this device"

Agreed, but if I have to unticked 'listen to this device' how am I meant to hear the input?

I did a google and all I get, apart for the free download spamy rubbish links, was this thread and the one from Ben.

And it looks like i'm right, Windows Vista SP2 & Win7 now how latency problems with line in.

There doesn't seem to be a solution either from what I can gather, i'll try forcing the Mobo sound drivers, as I had let Windows manage all devices apart from Video.

I can't beleive that Windows is evolving into an OS that can't even do something simple, like play sound without problems!

Who cares about window snapping, Aero or any other BS feature when they can't get the basics to work properly anymore!
