I have the recording volume set to 100 but it's still hardly registering any sound. I'm talking like barely -24dB even with something normally noisy. What do I do about this?


edit: also I could really use that USB audio option any day now, becuase the sound delay through the computer is killing me. Even moreso with that ground loop isolator.

Where are you adjusting the volume? There can be 3, sometimes 4 or 5 different ways to set the incoming volume, depending on your sound card. The audio path in Windows can be pretty convoluted.

Yeah I know. It will get done. I have a lot of things on my plate right now. There's a crapton of people trying to buy systems. I'm emailed almost daily by someone asking for an XL board. Also working on necessary changes for the current board. And getting the case redesigned. And plenty of people still waiting for more DS systems to go back on sale. Not even gonna think about PSVita/WiiU/nextBigThing right now.

What kind of delay are you seeing? There shouldn't be any significant delay in the audio. What are you using to record it? I haven't heard any major complaints from anyone else yet. Do you have any filtering / sound effects enabled on your sound card? Some other software running that might cause it? The ground loop isolator isn't going to add any noticable delay either.

I adjusted the recording volume for line-in, and it's at 100. It's also showing at maximum in the Creative console. There aren't any boost options, either.

Also, It's not a problem with the capture device, obviously, but the delay in audio is significant enough to completely trash rhythm games. Not sure how to negate it aside from not recording the audio. I've got it plugged directly into my X-Fi (which is in audio creation mode)

I doubt there are any effects and if there are I'm not sure where to turn them off. All I know is that the ground loop isolator either makes it, or makes it feel, like it got bumped even later.

For the record, it's fine if I plug the headphone jack into the microphone input, since I have the +20dB boost option, but it's not stereo.
