Ok, I’m just going to say it. If you want to do anything at all serious you should get a dedicated audio interface that has its own ASIO driver. You are driving to work every day on your riding mower.

ASIO4ALL works for some but it isn’t even ASIO. It’s an emulator. If you’ve followed what’s been said so far, you see why that’s a problem.

Realtek is the cheap sound built into most computers, especially laptops. It’s great for playback because any sound card is great for playback.

I suggest you try any of the modestly priced units from Focusrite. The difference is only in how many inputs you need, which seems small.

Questions?


Matt, thanks for getting right to the point. I wanted to step in but I am too intimidated by the OP's star status. You have pointed out exactly what I have been screaming at my screen. grin
