Rocksmith 2014. RTC to Windows 11 laptop, can't get rid of latency

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.

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.

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.

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?

Thanks for the help guys.

Here are all of my .ini file setting as well:

EnableMicrophone=0

ExclusiveMode=1

LatencyBuffer=2

ForceDefaultPlaybackDevice=

ForceWDM=0

ForceDirectXSink=0

DumpAudioLog=0

MaxOutputBufferSize=320

RealToneCableOnly=0

MonoToStereoChannel=0

Win32UltraLowLatencyMode=1
