Question / Help Theres a delay from microphone to speaker and i cant seem to lower the latency. Can anyone help? Thanks

[jasonmainwood]

When I enable my focusrite interface for the mic there is about a 1 second delay before the noise comes out the speaker. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Not possible to reduce, digital sound processing takes time

Then why are we able to adjust our latency in music recording software to solve this problem? I'm having a real hard time trying to solve this problem in OBS Studio myself.

Are you by any chance using wireless speakers? In that case, a possible solution is to use wired ones.

Try and see if this works for you.

There is 2 possible solutions to your issue:
1. Enable "direct monitoring" on your audio interface (make sure your headphones are connected directly to the interfaces headphones out)
2. Use something like voicemeeter with a ridiculously low sample buffersize e.g. 256 samples tops (only recommended if your PC is up tp the task, also, voicemeeter is a beast of it's own to configure properly)
