Latency

Well i have scoured the questions and have found some answers to this problem but not on the MM16 product. earlier versions there are some answers but only one dealing with drivers that are used.I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi Go External USB soundcard. Now this could be the cause of why when recording the guitar along say with a drum beat the timing is perfect but on playback the timing is grossly out. I did try the Asio driver found in settings but this just turns the sound completely off. So i am about to reload the driver again from the updates received for the Soundblaster and if this does not work i have another Asio driver which is developed also with the Sound Blaster in mind. If the updated driver does not do anything, i will try this other driver if that does nothing then i am stumped. But because there is very little on this subject i will be back with whether it worked or not. I have to be quite honest never known software with so many problems attached to it. Being a complete novice with this software i do tend to attempt to find the answers before posting a question. But sometimes for quickness just asking is the best route as it takes long enough to set up anything on a PC as you probably well know.

Again an answer to my own question. There is no doubt that Latency problems are definitely down to the right driver being used. I had no need to have the ASIO driver as i reloaded the original drivers in that come with the Sound Blaster Unit and hey presto worked like a dream so i am well chuffed. The Sound with this Sound Card is i must admit out of this world and the sound is infinitely better than using the original sound card. I mean if you inetend to make your own music what is the point in using the crappy sound card which comes with the PC.
So Latency problem cured.

Hi,

Interesting you asked a question and answer yourself. You said
"I mean if you inetend to make your own music what is the point in using the crappy sound card which comes with the PC"

Do you use Desktop or Laptop computer? Does this sound card is good for listening or it could improve sound while we record if so how?
Actually I was thinking to buy this sound card, your answer will help me to decide.

Thank you
