RTC to Windows 11 laptop, can't get rid of latency</title><link>https://customsforge.com/topic/81265-rocksmith-2014-rtc-to-windows-11-laptop-cant-get-rid-of-latency/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>I just bought Rocksmith 2014 and cannot get rid of the audio latency for the life of me. Have scoured the internet and troubleshooted a variety of ways but can't get it to a playable state.</p><p>I'm using the RTC cable directly to my laptop's USB port. I've tried both ports and there was no difference. Using my laptop's built-in speakers. Also tried 3.5mm out to headphones and no difference either.</p><p>Both RTC and speaker sound settings are set to 16bit, 48kHz. Exclusive mode and hardware acceleration on (wouldn't play any sound without it) for speakers. Enable audio enhancements turned off for both. Speakers using Realtek driver.</p><p>Latency buffer of 2 and max output of 320 was the lowest I could get them without any crackling. Does anybody have any ideas? Is this a combination of Windows 11, USB 3.0 ports, or just my motherboard and sound card? What can I do moving forward to get it in a playable state? Is an audio interface my next option and how can I be sure that would even work with my setup?</p><p>Thanks for the help guys.</p><p>Here are all of my .ini file setting as well:</p><p>EnableMicrophone=0</p><p>ExclusiveMode=1</p><p>LatencyBuffer=2</p><p>ForceDefaultPlaybackDevice=</p><p>ForceWDM=0</p><p>ForceDirectXSink=0</p><p>DumpAudioLog=0</p><p>MaxOutputBufferSize=320</p><p>RealToneCableOnly=0</p><p>MonoToStereoChannel=0</p><p>Win32UltraLowLatencyMode=1</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">81265</guid><pubDate>Sun, 05 Apr 2026 17:32:07 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Realtone cable</title><link>https://customsforge.com/topic/81255-realtone-cable/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p></p><p>Is there a cable equivalent to the Realtone cable that can work or some other way to connect my guitar.

	If i purchase a disc of the original RS, is it still possible to import the on disc songs from the og game to my RS2014 copy on steam using the import tool? there's a lot of songs i'd like to play from it but are no longer available.<br />
	Normally i'd assume i can, because it was once a feature, however i read that Ubisoft killed the plug on old keys and i'm not sure i wanna drop money on a disc that is essencially useless

	I've used the site for 10 years now but recently came back after a few months and the site is littered with ads, not sure if it's just a me issue or a site thing since i don't get bombarded with ads on any other site. Has the site had a lack of funding so it's having to shift towards ad-based monetization?

	Greetings;<br />
	<br />
	I am a huge fan of CusstomsForge and check your site daily multiple times a day and have even commissioned custom CDLC from Gov't Mule.  I love it and consider it essential to my playing and happiness. I am also a Sr. Security Architect.  Starting on Feb 17, 2025 I started blocking malware attempts via your web page that are being sourced from kappa.lol - IP address 172.67.213.73 - I get the breach attempt every-time I refresh the search engine page.  I just assumed you would be on top and take care of it.  So I just informing you in case you had not noticed yet.  It could be a false positive, but I error on the side of caution and block first. <br />

	ive used cdlcs for a couple years now and only had issues starting up getting to know the basics and coming back to it wanting to add new stuff after years. after going through and adding more from the inital start i did the required updates, reverting to certain betas, and formatting to get the dlcs to be added in the game and now wanting to get back into it couple more years down the road im stumped and have asked on the discord page for assistance which members have tried their best to assist with the issue but are about as stumped as i am on the matter and was wondering if there was a way to just start all over from scratch so i can go through the process hopefully able to use the dlcs i have and new ones i want to download in the future.

	Hello! 
</p>

<p>
	I was getting some no doubt songs, looking specifically for Spiderwebs, and noticed its an official DLC. Great! Go to buy it from steam, no longer available for purchase. Is it possible to have CDLC creators make CDLC for songs not able to be purchased anymore? I feel like that should be fair game.

	Hi, 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I'm trying to get the latest .dll file.  Google drive says I can't have it because it violates their terms of service.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	When I try download RS2014-CDLC-Installer (Dated 23 November 2023) windows defender has a hissy fit with the usual "unsafe" complaint.
</p>

<p>
	Even after I override the initial complaint then Windows defender again says NO - virus detected, and won't let me force the download.
</p>

<p>
	Is there something we should know?
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	(Thanks for all the hard work to those who work on updating these things).
</p>
