Default Windows 7 query

Would this be in the klite codec pack perhaps?
The audio recording software tells me not to use the microsoft sound mapper
so I've use the realtech one instead, but its still the same.
I'm not up with driver replacements on 7 being used to xp of course.

not.
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.
