Guitar Input and Sound Card Delay
« on: September 25, 2006, 12:12:55 PM »
Hi,

I am a beginning guitarist and I caught an M-audio Jam Lab for sale at a compusa the other day. Basically it allows me to connect and play my electric guitar through my computer. The thing works great!

The problem is if I try to use my stereo computer speakers to play my guitar there is a delay. There is a headphone jack on the Jam Lab unit that I use right now with no delay. But is there any way I can configure my sound card to play my guitar input with no delay?

If worse comes to worse I had the idea of run a 3.5mm audio cable from the headphone jack on the jam lab directly into my sound card. Would this work?

Just FYI I'm using a Philips sound card with 5.1 surround sound support. It has a line-in port so that won't be a problem. My mother board also has a built-in sound card that supports surround, and I can use that as well.

Thanks,

Matt
