Hi,
I'm having latency problem so I download and installed ASIO. This sorted out the latency problem but then I no longer got any sound from videos when they were played and I'm pretty useless when it comes to lip reading.

ASIO will/should only be used for the piano,metro,count in, and accompaniments. The video sound will always use your default windows audio profile.

In Playground, when you go to Settings -> Audio Devices, and change from ASIO to another device type, does the video audio work fine?

Changing back to an alternate setting type other than ASIO there is still no sound. Once ASIO has been selected in order to get any new settings to work I have to close and then re open playground.

With Windows 7 you can usually get pretty low latency without having to use ASIO. If you open up Playground, and go to Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Devices -> Output, you can play with the sample rates, the lower the sample rate the better latency you will get. This is largely dependent on what kind of sound card you have in your computer. You can also try and adjust the latency directly. You will loose some audio quality by lowering the sample rates and latency, but you should be able to lower it pretty significantly without too much of a quality of sound drop off.

Are you using the ASIO4ALL driver by the way?

Hi Purple45,

You are correct!

The mashin connects to my computer in the normal way via USB and uses my integrated audio with ASIO4ALL. Plug in hearing aids to use mascheen.

The speakers on my computer, for YouTube and others, are basic and are now connected to the gaming keyboard (Logitech G110) which has a small built-in sound card. Even the USB speakers and the 3.5 mm jack go into it.

If you open the game field, go to Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Hardware -> Output, you can play using sample rates, the lower the sample rate, the better the response time. This depends largely on the type of sound card you have on your computer. You can also try to adjust the response time directly.
