You should be using ASIO drivers with the 2i2. When you use the 2i2, the audio doesn't go into the lappy's sound card, it gets routed to the 2i2. Your computer knows there's 2 cards and send the audio in digital format to the proper and correct card as you have selected in your preferences settings for that program.

If the settings are showing MME, you need to click on that and change it to ASIO. You might need to load the ASIO driver from a disk or the internet.... go to Focusrite's website and get their latest ASIO driver for your 2i2. ASIO performs much much better than MME could ever hope to do.
