Recording Latency Adjustment reverts to Realtek

ok..new audio interface, new problem.
 
I just installed a Focusrite Saffire Pro 14, in Audio Options/Advanced/Record Latency Adjustment it keeps defaulting to Realtek which is the stock soundcard. Even after I change to 'Asio Saffire' and click OK, when I open the box again, it's back to Realtek.
 
Any suggestions on how to fix?
 
It doesn't seem to affect my recordings at all...but still, I'd like it to be right.
 
 
Thanks all!

thanks......I will have to check out disabling the Realtek.
 
I did not have this issue with my M-Audio 1814, although with that one I got frequent BSOD's......so.....I guess
my new one is better....??
 
Ugh! Technology!
 
 
 

What driver mode is listed under Option/Audio/Advanced tab? If ASIO is listed then...

I don't think Realtek has ASIO drivers so I was wondering if you have ASIO4ALL installed? If so, do you need to use ASIO4ALL? If not uninstall ASIO4ALL. 
 
and/or   
 
Also, ASIO only works with one driver so make sure the correct ASIO driver is selected on the Options/Audio/Drivers tab. Note in order to select a different driver you must unselect all selected drivers first if you have more then one ASIO device installed.

I've always had good success configuring Windows to use the onboard sound card such as realtek and configuring Sonar not to use the onboard sound card. This gives both Sonar and Windows their own device. Otherwise, if you disable the onboard sound card Windows will grab what ever sound device it finds which in this case would be the Focusrite Saffire Pro 14. This can cause sample rate conflicts between programs, such as running Sonar and using Windows Media Player at the same time, and make the sound card temporarily unavailable.

However, some people claim that onboard sound cards cause conflicts for them unless they disable them. In that case you may be better off disabling the onboard sound card as mentioned above in other posts. Just in my experience it has never been a problem where as disabling the onboard sound card can cause sample rate conflicts with Windows programs that use the default Windows audio device.

Also, do you turn on the Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 before starting Sonar? Sonar will attempt to use what ever driver is available, and I think even change driver mode to accommodate. So, if the Focusrite is not turned on Sonar may attempt to find an available driver. I know with the Edirol and Fireface I use it takes the computer a few seconds to completely recognize the device after turning them on.

go to preferences/audio..make sure your device is checked under drivers..you need to have it checked for in..out..make sure you also set it to asio..did you install the drivers okay??if so set it to asio...then click asio to open up the asio panel.set your latency.should be good to go

You can un install the drivers for the realtech and easily get them back again.
In device manager it will show as a yellow ? and you click on that and choose update drivers, it will go on line and download them again. My computer tech told me this was a preferred way to handle drivers after an OS re do. It gives you the most up to date drivers for that device.
Like I say I have to kill the on board drivers on my Acer laptop or all hell breaks loose. Any trace of them seems to want to take over all the time just like your saying here. 
Now Windows does little BIOS beeps instead of fancy sounds. big deal.

Thanks everyone....I went to device manager and disabled Realtek.
Fixed my problem!! All audio (even windows player) is controlled by the Saffire.

And I think my recorded audio is better now too (bigger wave forms at lower volume...don't have to peg the Saffire to 11...haha)..

Glad I can come here for answers and fix a problem quickly!
