Serious Audio Issues with Vegas 5.0

I have been using Vegas 5.0 for video for a while. But I am starting to dabble with multi-track audio recording. I am running Windows XP on an E-Machines T3265. 140 GB Hard Drive with 1.8 GHZ AMD processor and 1.45 GB Ram. I have a NVidia Nforce audio card integrated on the motherboard. Here is the issue---

I'm using a yamaha PSR-e403---keyboard- I'm trying to record some music. What I do is lay down a drum track on track one. Then I go and lay down a bass line on track 2 . The track starts skipping and jumps and is out of sync even when I am recording. So I can alone lay down the first track. When I try to lay down the next track I have latency issues. Do I need a better soundcard or Do I need someone to help set up the buffering preferences- Please Help!

Yep, that's your solution. Buy a new card which supports ASIO drivers.

What do you have selected as the Audio device type under preferences?

Make sure you are using either Windows Classic Wave Driver (for WDM/MME) or ASIO (for ASIO) for Audio device type, depending on what kind of drivers are provided for your integrated audio card. Don't use Microsoft Sound Mapper as the Audio device type.

If you do not have ASIO drivers available you might like to consider downloading the free ASIO4ALL software and using that to give you an ASIO inteface to your audio hardware.

If you still have problems you may need to move to a proper soundcard.
