Issues fixed

Audio Latency

Using your motherboard's onboard sound rather than an internal sound card is recommended for reduced latency
Rocksmith's audio latency is highly dependent on values set within the Rocksmith.ini. Modifying this file is almost always necessary for an optimal experience.
Instructions
There are also a few settings outside of Rocksmith that need to be adjusted to allow Audio Exclusivity and other settings to work properly.

Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/205190/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (205190) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
