I need help

i appear to have internal feedback on my pc when recording. its not from an external source because its there when everything is unplugged. any ideas how to find the source or how to fix it???

also are there any sure fire ways to reduce my latency without a new soundcard/more ram/cash outlay generally??

thanx

with this problem, you may want to check the record level on your pc's internal mixer. what pc OS do you have?

One of the only ways to ensure latency is to have sound card drivers that are ASIO compliant. check your sound card/audio interface cd to see if it comes with ASIO drivers.

i'm running windows xp home edition. even with all levels set to 0 on internal mixer, feedback is still present.

the asio drivers are installed but i still have about a 75ms latency with direct drivers and 750ms with multimedia drivers.

Try this:
- open the Volume Control. Mute everything you're not using, especially any Microphones
- select menu Options, Properties.
- Make sure your soundcard is selected at the top, then select "Recording" in the "Adjust Volume For" box.
- under "show the following volume controls, check them all, then say OK.
- the Volume Control will now read "Recording Control" and display all your inputs, even things like "wave out mix" if you have it (great for recording normal program output).
- The sliders you see there will be specific to your sound card, but you only want the ones you're actually recording from to be set above 0, and the real input you want to use now should be marked with "Select".

I had some feedback on my laptop, until I found that the internal microphone was enabled and the volume was up...

thanx but didn't work.

It's always there if trying to record in cubase, but if i turn off monitoring in wavelab when recording then its gone?!! all recording volumes are off apart from my line in.

its at about 44hz if that helps.

someone must know what is going on as it is really winding me up now.

Either your PC is too old, your soundcard sucks, or your cables suck. Had the same problem, and it was all of the above. Then I said **** it, having a pc ain't worth it just for fruity loops, and I beat the living sheeat out of it like on Office Space, and kissed my Mac.

Seriously...
