Its really irritating as if you monitor yourself talking using phones the
recording sounds like I'm drunk on the windows 7 machine. is there a way
around this?

Like Don said, it sounds like a latency problem. The Windows supplied
Direct Sound drivers have high latency due to the layers of processing.
ASIO (Audio Stream Input/Output) drivers use a more direct hardware
access. If you don't have a proprietary ASIO driver for your audio
device then do a search for the asio4all universal driver. It is free
and the current version works well with most machines and all Windows
versions. This should give you a latency of better than 10 ms.
