I've been doing some work in Audacity in the pandemic. I'm a college radio DJ and we're forbidden use of the air studio until herd immunity. So, we're recording shows at home ~10 days ahead of broadcast instead of DJing live. I bought the Shure MV5 microphone and a boom stand for my microphone breaks. Sometimes I have no latency and can wear the headphones while recording my voice. Other times, I hear myself after I speak with a split second delay that I can't stand and I pull out my earbuds.

I'm plugging this USB microphone into a Windows 10 64bit computer or laptop, use Audacity D.A.W. software.

What could be at play? How can I eliminate the latency?
