How to record a guitar plugged to a PC without delay ? My friend has a delay problem (using onboard sound chip), wants to know the cheapest solution.

if he ONLY wants to record guitar, i'd suggest guitar rig2 (should be cheap as hell by now on ebay)

So, are you sure there is no way to eliminate the lag of the onboard chip ?
Spending money makes me sad sometimes.

how ?
the fucking guitar rig, fasttrack pro etc are too expensive, what's the cheapest card for simple no latency input ? Some cheap gamer card that can do the job ?

usually you can set the latency in the software...which one is he using, anyway?
as for cheapest solutions...well, the cheapest "pro" audio card would be the m-audio delta 2496, but a x-fi should do the job as well. if you want to go ultra cheap, get an audigy with modded ASIO drivers

you will always have delay even with ASIO software emulation drivers..not much..but you will.
ive tried everything under the sun with onboard and soundcards..unless its an actual ASIO soundcard, you will have some delay.
maybe not noticeable at slow speed, but it enough to screw up your timing while playing.
fasttrack i got was only like 50 bucks..and its about as close as realtime. I cant tell the difference between an actual amp, and the fastrack for delay.
plus the audio quality is 10x better with a proper guitar in..i thought the linein on my card sounded ok until I got the fastrack...now it sounds like crap when I hear it.

I've got the Soundblaster X-Fi Platinum and plug my guitar into the front panel. With ASIO2-drivers I get latency as low as 5-7ms which is basically unnoticeable.
He can forget good latencies with a shitty onboard sound chip. Alternatively you could get something like Fasttrack, but seriously, a proper sound card with a panel or external part is a must for any useful stuff when it comes to recording audio.
And Guitarrig absolutely rocks, it's mind-boggling really.

ASIO drivers aren't "hardware emulators" (unless you mean ASIO4All), they're special drivers for low latency audio hardware usage.

well thats what I mean, for his setup ASIO4ALLl is his only option..I tried that..was disappointed with it..why I dropped the money on the fasttrack.
so its emulation of it..no true hardware support for it.
mistyping of words..meant ASIO software, not drivers themselves..any of the software that gives you ASIO fuctions when your hardware doesn't support it.
think of it as the old videogames of long ago, VGAcafe, that did software rendering for people that didnt have videocards..sure it worked..and made it looks 3d..but was UGLY without the correct hardware support for hardware rendering.
