Hey all, im guessing this is the right section to ask this...

Anywho, im having a lot of trouble trying to record anything when using ASIO drivers to process my line-in effects.

Basically, i have my guitar running thru my input jack, which works fine, but if i use effects programs like Guitar Rig 2 i get stupid amounts of delay (over a second from picking the strings to hearing the sound). So i installed the low latency ASIO drivers and this fixed the delay problem, but now they conflict with "something" and i cant seem to record on the fly.

I've been messing about with Cubase 3, and if i use Direct X to process the audio, i get a signal and everything, but with the stupid delay happening. If i use ASIO drivers, none of my recording programs can process the input signal. Windows recorder gives me some message about not being able to record to "this format" and Cool Edit Pro usually locks up.

I've googled for fixes, but all i could find were fixes for Sound Blaster cards, not Realtek (AC 97) onboard sound.

I honestly don't think it's the onboard sound itself, seems more like a wrong setting somewhere... i just dunno where. :(

Any help is appreciated.
 
Yeah, i tried that yesterday with no joy. It craps on about not being able to open the device (works when i switch from the ASIO driver to another device though). And i couldnt find an option to record the output signal, which is what i need to do, otherwise it bypasses the effects programs and i just end up recording with a clean tone.
 
In Audacity, select the ' what you hear ' option from the pulldown menu in the top right corner of the interface.

Is ASIO4ALL the drivers that you're using ?
 
I can't find the "what you hear" option anywhere, i found 2 drop down menus on the right of the interface, but they were more in the middle than up the top, and they didnt have that option.

And yes, that's the driver im using.
 
Running v1.26 of Audacity, these are the record options I get in the dropdown menu with an X-Fi XtremeMusic :



Could you post a screen of your ASIO4ALL settings ?
