how to minimize audio delay in acer nitro 5

mace187

Hi, i have an acer nitro 5 gaming laptop. I recently bought a pioneer DDJ FLX4 DJ controller and connected it to my acer laptop. I have been getting a couple of seconds sound time delay from my laptop speakers and the headphones i plug into the DJ controller so i can hear when im mixing two songs together to get both trax in beat. The pioneer engineers are saying it's because im using a gaming laptop and have asked me to speak to someone from the company i bought my laptop from and ask what is the best way to minimize audio delay on my acer nitro 5 laptop. Can someone please help me with the problem im having as im unable to use my DJ controller as i cant match two songs together using my laptop speakers and the headphones plugged into my DJ controller. Thanks

The audio in your Nitro laptop is controlled by many audio drivers, the caption below is from the ntel® Driver & Support Assistant and from my Nitro 5 AN515-56, so the problem could be from one of these drivers:

I would uninstall the NVidia driver first, try to do it with Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) download version 18.0.6.9 … and uninstall the NVidia graphics and audio driver completely like this software guides you, then renew the Realtek audio and see if that helps and do a refresh of the other software below through Device Manager, try that as I've had audio problems with my Nitro laptop and that is how I fixed them.

I watched dozens of DJ how to videos on youtube, NONE of them are shown to be used as you described.

You used the headphone plugged into the DJ controller to cue up the next song and to mix and you plug speakers into the DJ controller for the party to hear. Nobody in all these youtube videos use the laptop speakers.
