Max for Windows Audio latency
Trying to play with Max for Windows and have a latency on the incoming audio of about 500 ms. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Other people experience the same with my windows patches. Even just connecting adc~ to dac~ yields this result.
In Max, go to Audio Status and try to use ASIO drivers instead of the builtin Windows drivers.
If your sound card doesn't have ASIO drivers available, install ASIO4ALL (http://www.asio4all.org/).
If you can't use ASIO drivers, use WASAPI or DirectSound drivers, avoid MME at all costs.
Lastly, lower the buffer size to a value that gives you a nice tradoff between latency, CPU usage and sound quality (glitch free audio).
Thanks, I tried ASIO4ALL and there's still a bit of latency. The audio is also slightly degraded. How do I change buffer size? I can't see that in Audio status
Buffer size can be defined in the ASIO4ALL control panel and on the "Audio Status" Max panel (I/O Vector Size).
