Hi, sorry for the delay in reply (been sick). Unfortunately, I still have the latency even when changing which audio input driver is selected. I have also tried manually shifting the track (grab, slide, etc.) which I am finding too difficult to finesse for my purposes.

You mentioned that if I still have a latency, I may need an audio interface or use the extra line-out on amp. I do have an extra line out, but don't see what good that would do as I still have to record onto track via some input on my laptop (and I have established that both input drivers introduce latency). Unless I am misunderstanding you here?

I am up for an "audio interface", but don't understand what you mean by that, nor how anything would be able to get around having to go through one of the other of the audio drivers on my laptop. Any elaboration is greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
