No latency mic monitoring on USB headset?

[foobah]

Hi,

I have a Logitech G930 USB headset. It is a closed-ear type which means you can't really hear yourself when you talk which makes speaking difficult. You tend to talk louder than necessary.

To fix this problem, you typically want to have what you say through the mic be played back to you through your headphones.

Now Windows already has a feature to allow just that when you check the "listen to this device" checkbox under Recording Devices:


The problem is that since Win7, Microsoft has totally made this feature practically useless because of the latency it has introduced between what you say and what you hear. The result is like a voice jamming echo. This video explains:



Has anyone been able to get mic monitoring through USB headset without latency? If so how?

Not easy to do.

the G930 has been the bane of my existence doing tech support for PR, so many weird problems.

asio4all v2 is your "best" bet, and it's still not good

Of course the whole reason for posting here is because I mainly use my headset and mic when playing PR (new to game since 1.3).

Thanks for the link but just like my searches, it does't reveal anything that really addresses he issue.

Unless anyone else can conform otherwise, I do not think this issue with latency when mic monitoring is specific to the G930s. I think any and all headphones (at least the USB ones) have this problem.

I am sure I am not the only one with closed ear headphones who (would) prefer mic monitoring without latency.

How are the rest of you dealing with this? I did TS with a guy who told me he didn't have any latency when using Win 8.1 and checking the "Listen to this device" checkbox. Can anyone else confirm?
