If the guitar records cleanly but the mic doesn't and you're using essentially the same input..... the problem sounds like it's in the mic or the cable to the mic.

Swap to a new or known good working cable. See what happens. Try a different mic and cable totally. Do you have a buddy who will let you borrow one for the test?


However... the part of that problem that the hardware will NOT cause is the "slow dragged out playing" part of the issue. A bad cable connection will cause the outages and buzzing and hums, but not the time shifted stuff.

That's what has me thinking this is still a software or driver issue.
