After looking through the forum a bit, I wonder if I might be experiencing the same issue as in this post.
If this is in fact the case, is it possible to resolve the issue without an external sound card? I don't have a sound card; I was hoping to be able to use the software with just on-board sound.

I am completely new to the world of DAWs so apologies in advance for sounding clueless.
I have just installed Cakewalk and I essentially cannot use it at all due to extreme lag with the UI. Anytime I click anything or even try to adjust the window, there is a 4-5 second delay before the action is registered. I am not sure how to fix this or even what settings I should begin to look into. To the best of my knowledge, all settings are at default, and my audio drivers are up to date. Does anyone have any idea what I might try to fix this issue?
In case it is helpful, here are the relevant specs of my PC:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700
- RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz
Like I said before, I am completely new to this stuff so please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help diagnose the issue.
Extreme UI Latency
in Q&A

GPU is RTX 2060 8GB. OS is Windows 10 64 bit. All drivers are up to date.
I haven't experienced any issues with any other software at all (games, etc.)
I think you hinted at the solution in your post. I tinkered with the settings a little bit and found the following to fix the issue:
In preferences I changed Audio >> Playback and Recording >> Driver Mode from the default ASIO to WASAPI Shared and all of the UI latency is gone.
Just for fun, I reverted the settings back and recorded the latency times. Clocked in between 3.6 and 4.4 seconds for any action.
