DirectSound problem (NO BUG)

[eyedew]

Hello,

With the "Audio System: DirectSound" option toggled in Audio Device Settings, whatever I record is too early, which is strange, because I was expecting the opposite, a latency of 185ms. When I used Reaper version 0.980 and earlier versions, it was better, because for some reason, there was practically no latency, not even the amount specified.

Yes, the same thing is happening to me, probably since I'm the same person.

have you tried using ASIO 4 all?
Might have better luck with that than directsound

you can also try tweaking the directsound buffer settings, and once you get them closer you can add a manual offset to get the sychronizataion better as well. but yeah, ASIO in general is much better suited for this.

I'd rather not use ASIO (ASIO4ALL, ASIO2KS, ASIOx, AXASIO, etc. I've tried them all). I was getting better results with DirectSound, before something was changed in Reaper's programming...
