Delay while monitoring recording

Audacity Help Forum Windows

Hello All,
I would like to listen with my headphones while recording, but am getting a 1 second delay in what I hear. I am using a USB mic to record and have my headphones plugged into the audio output jack. Any ideas? Thanks.

This is the only way to do that reliably. You have to listen to your mic or mixer, not the computer.
