HI,
Just bought a new Toshiba laptop running Windows 8.1 Fired up Audacity to test internal mic & after recording acoustic guitar and overdubbing bass, noticed the bass track was slightly off. Thought it was my playing but no, as the whole internet knows, there's a latency problem at work; split second delay between the sound I make and when it shows up visually on Audacity.
Just now I was looking in Control Panal under the "SOUND ------ Recording" tab, to see the name of my internal mic (Realtek High Definition Audio) and the sound meter there SEEMS to how no latency - it moves as soon as I test it.
Might this only be a problem in Audacity?
I've looked up youtube vids and articles, tried adjusting latency in Audacity which completely messes things up. Super-stressed - I need to multi-track without this hassle or return laptop pronto!
Cheers.
