It's almost certainly a feedback loop, and the delay you are hearing is the total latency of your A/D and D/A. It's quite a large latency - at a guess around 80ms - which makes me wonder if you have unusually high buffer settings, or are perhaps running some high latency plugins with PDC. You wouldn't be running USB over an old USB1 port? Whatever the reason - I suspect you have a high latency that is creating a slap delay.

I'm guessing you have created a feedback loop (the output spilling into your input) possibly via your monitoring routing. When you turned up the volume at one point, you got more delays feeding back, causing that cool stut-tering effect that just happened to be in sync with your playing ... rather Beatlish
