I'm not sure if "SMPTE" setting will have any effect in your case of standard recording. (see the help file in the SMPTE tab section of CEP, it's ace!)
Could u pls supply more specs on your 'puter? You also may want to consider not using your onboard sound for recording. These things are inherently bad for anything but basic playback, when used for studio work. They seem to have lag "built into" them!! (This is the first problem I ran into when I started PC based recording at higher 'rates' of quality.)
Even an SB live Value would be a massive improvement,...... in your particular case!!! ($10-$30 Aus).....buy 2!! One to record, the other to monitor!!
