I have used a Turtle Beach X12 headset for the past several years, and I have grown accustomed to the built-in direct monitoring (hear yourself talking) feature.

I recently switched over the the Hyperx Cloud II, which does not have built-in direct monitoring, and it is driving me insane.

My OS is Windows 10, and yes, I know how to turn on "listen to this device" in the recording device properties, but this does not produce the desired effect. This plays back the sound with significant latency, to the point where I could practically carry a conversation with myself. I have tried using the latest version of FL Studio to achieve direct monitoring as directed by this guy, but with no success; this suggested solution produces the same latency as the Windows "listen to this device" function. The Hyperx Cloud II is a connects via a USB and has its own built-in sound card, which (if I am understanding correctly) may be part of the problem.

At this point I am almost convinced that what I aim to achieve is not possible, but if anyone has this same setup and already figured it out, then I would greatly appreciate your insight.

If you feel this thread would be better suited in a different category, please let me know.

Me too, exactly the same problem!

Kinston support had me install the v5 firmware update (headphones had v3), no difference.
Kingston support says "listen to" should work fine without delay, I disagree., so does google.

My understanding is that on win10 sound cards that support direct monitoring there will have a microphone section on the audio playback device levels page, supposedly the audio hardware needs to mix in the analog input feed directly into the output feed.

If you've not found a solution, have you found any small USB sound cards to replace the HyperX USB sound card?
