Amaza-zazing difference! So I took your advice and installed the ASIO driver. Interesting piece though: after installing and rebooting, I selected ASIO from the Audio Hardware Panel, and the Input/Output options were chosen for me. I assumed this was by design, so I went with it. I recorded audio, but the playback didn't come through my headphones which are connected through the USB mic, so I'm not sure if the sample got recorded through the USB mic or the Computer's mic using the ASIO hardware setting. I also couldn't select my Yeti Microphone as the Default Input / Output hardware, so I reverted back to MME. The interesting part though, is that this time when I recorded a sampling of my voice in Audition, it worked! It didn't sound at all distorted like yesterday. Is it doing something magical in the background?
