-- **Possible Fix**Anyone have an old soundcard or latency problems?

I have a pretty old Sound Blaster Live Value card. It ran great on Win98SE and had about 25ms latency which was good enough for me. Once I upgraded to WinXP Professional I could not get the latency to go down below 100ms. I got the newest drivers and tried running in DirectX and MME. MME was noticebly better but still had 75+ ms. I discovered this driver online ASIO4All. I decided to give it a shot before I shell out some cash on a new soundcard. I installed it and used the ASIO driver in my host. WHAT!??! Less then 10ms. You can get the driver here. Hope this helps someone! See Ya!

how can you determine your latency exactly?? i have been wanting to ask this question for a long time now

I had the same sort of latency problem - Im using an old Soundblaster Live! and got my latency to 10ms with the KX Audio drivers - FOUND HERE!

Dickie - if you are using Cubase goto
DEVICES->DEVICE SETUP->VST MULTITRACK->
then click CONTROL PANEL.

Thi should show the latency.

I also have tried the kx drivers and they didn't work for me but they are a good alternative to try.

Dickie if i remeber correctly you use fl studio

goto - options - audio settings - shows your latency
