#LISTEN TO THIS DEVICE DELAY WINDOWS#
I'm using the default playback and recording devices in Windows sound settings. Motherboard is an ASRock X79 Extreme4-M, running Windows 10. Since using the sound card, that issue seems to have cleared up, though. set up your hardware (I only had to set up the input device) and turn on the mic. I also had issues with things like Steam Chat, where the other party was hearing the notifications at my end echoing back to them. So, for example, plug your phone into the PCs mic, run listen.

What this should do, in theory, is force your microphone to through your headphones/speakers while still being used as a recording device. Check 'Listen to this device' and in the Playback menu select your headphones/speakers. 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.īefore 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. Now go to the Listen tab at the top, to the right of General. 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. I have a Xonar D2X soundcard, feeding a Steelseries Siberia V2 headset. I'm not a particular audiophile and much of this stuff is magic and mystery to me.

I should start by saying I have almost NO idea what all the different sound settings do on these things.
