Heya,
I should start by saying I have almost NO idea what all the different sound settings do on these things. I'm not a particular audiophile and much of this stuff is magic and mystery to me.
I have a Xonar D2X soundcard, feeding a Steelseries Siberia V2 headset.
I've removed all other audio drivers, mucked about with some mixer settings, and generally gotten the sound to something I like, based on the sound I get with a number of songs and videos I'm very familiar with.
However, when I enable the Monitor and/or Listen To This Device settings in Windows, I'm getting a delay between me speaking and the voice coming back to me, of roughly 100-200 miliseconds.
Before I installed the soundcard, I was using the headset through the motherboard's rear panel jacks and the case front I/O which is obviously connected to the motherboard header. I had delays there, too.
I also had issues with things like Steam Chat, where the other party was hearing the notifications at my end echoing back to them. Since using the sound card, that issue seems to have cleared up, though.
Motherboard is an ASRock X79 Extreme4-M, running Windows 10.
I'm using the default playback and recording devices in Windows sound settings.
Are there any settings I can alter to correct the delay issue, or is it likely to be a feature/flaw with the headset?
