Q: Bootcamp audio latency and steromix. Maybe a realtek issue?  VERY LOST

So I am having a REAL hard time here, and I consider myself somewhat tech savvy. 

 

Let me start by saying I am not from the mac world.  I am pretty bad on the mac.  I am running a macmini with os 10.8.5 with the newest version of bootcamp running windows 7 with apparently all the updated drivers...   At least I just finished doing that.

 

I am having TWO problems.

 

1) When I plug in my standard SHURE SM 58 mic into the mic in, there is a good 1/2 second delay - while listening via my headphones or speakers.  I should note I have a PC that has the exact same set up next to this computer and when I use the same two pieces of audio equipment, there is no delay, which leads me to question 2.

 

2) STEREOMIX or RECORD WHAT U HEAR is missing.  I have it on my pc, and I believe it is somehow related to the Realtek HD Audio Driver.  But I cannot for the life of me get this to install correctly - it keeps saying driver not installed correctly no matter what process I try.  I have downloaded the drivers for both the cirrius logic and the realtek, and cirrus works, but realtek wont.    

 

Without getting steromix to work - I cannot record skype interviews, (where I also usually play youtube clips or clips from mp3s during the interview.   and I need to record everything that is coming from the computer.

 

i see a lot of people having issues with NO SOUND coming from a mac running bootcamp into windows 7 - but this isn't my problem.   The latency makes it almost impossible to talk, and the biggest problem I am having is - I spent 2 hours on the phone with MAC - and they say it's a windows problem, I spent 3 hours on the phone with microsoft and they say it's a mac problem!   I am about the throw this computer against a wall - unless someone here can help me out!

 

I hope to hear back!  and thank you for your time.

    I found a program... but is shareware   and they do not tell you !! They just say free download... its called stereo mix pluss http://stereomixplus.com/, tried to look for others, and ended up on a dodgy site infecting my windows on my bootcamp with viruses ... so I am having to reformat... , which means i have to reinstall my windows programs again, and warframe... dammit , my poor kubrow is going to be effected a bit, because he did not get his dose of DNA stabilisers today... fortunately most of my stuff is on my OSX system... so its not a complete headache.
