Settings application overview
Input latency
You can adjust the input latency of audio input and output signals transferred
between the unit and the computer.
Smaller values result in less audio signal delay, but require high-speed
processing by the computer.
If the processing cannot keep up, for example, due to other system operations,
clicking and popping noises might occur and the audio signal might even drop
out.
Increasing the value will stabilize operation and suppress negative effects on
audio signals, but the delay in audio signal transfer between the unit and the
computer will increase.
You can adjust the amount of latency for this unit according to your use condi-
tions.
Default:
256 Samples
