Sid.

have you read yet my tips in tips forum ?
and particularly point one..the link to latency mon ?.. which will assess the suitability of your pc for music production.
and will give clues re drivers.

also i would never use the 3.5 mm/usb set up.

more detail of what your needs are from your rig would help.
eg...do you want...
...recording ?
...playback of bb only ?
...midi ?

if your running a web browser like chrome...this tells me Likely this pc is on the net..is this the case....?
if so i still would like to see a pic of task mgr because i suspect other tasks are occuring in the background you might not be aware of.

bottom line...the major reason that pc users encounter probs doing music production on a pc is the pc hasnt been optimised for music creation....thus people get probs.

if you doubt me google 'optimising a pc for music production'..
and read my tips re importance of low dpc....plus various links
in my tips.
please note there is a wonderfull user community here full of people whove done it all from being novices to being very advanced with years of experience that can help you get set up correctly.

happiness.
