Hi folks,

I'm on my new Win7 laptop, looking in Control Panels > Hardware and Sound > Sound and looking at the separate Playback and Recording tabs for my headset (earphones and microphone headset). Same headset as I used with my previous laptop running Vista. Whole new interface with Win7. I'm hearing a slight latency/delay when I turn on "Listen" so I can monitor myself as I speak/sing for recoring audio. It's almost like I'm my own backup singer/announcer. But annoying if I want to monitor my voice for audio productions...or even for singing and playing air guitar/drums. Wink Any suggestions? I've tried "Default device enabled" and setting it to the specific headset. I don't see any control to adjust a delay/latency issue. I'm also getting a lot more sensitivity than with the old system. It's like the mic is picking up every sound at all in the room, and the audio sounds like it's a huge room or talking in a well. I don't see any controls to adjust that either. I'm not getting any noticeable reverb/feedback/squealing, so I don't think I'm picking up from the ilaptop's own internal mic. Any suggestions would be welcome, as this is annoying/frustrating. I don't want to turn off the "listen" monitor playthrough, but I may do that, which I did last week. This is at the OS level, before I even get to Audacity. I don't see how to correct for it within Audacity either, but that'll be where I'm actually recording to. (Audacity 1.3.10 beta.) No video involved here, just audio recording.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I would make sure that you have the latest (i.e. Win 7) drivers installed for your audio equipment.
