There is always latency using drivers , just you have it set low so it has no effect on you.


Just what I have read/heard believe.

My thinking out loud …!

Computer audio. Latency can be a particular problem in audio platforms, for instance the standard Microsoft Windows audio drivers which can cause latency up to 500 ms. Supported interface optimization will reduce the delay down to times that are too short for the human ear to detect.


They way I understand it. There will always be some form of latency, drivers or not. The data still has to be moved from memory to the audio. (Probably buffered somewhere also) It may be minimal but there is always a cost. It all takes and fights for CPU cycles even if using audio co-processing.

As I understood it but I’m old
