Adjusting Latency
Latency is inherent in all digital audio devices and is most often
used to describe the delay between audio signals arriving at the
inputs and being sent from the outputs of a soundcard/digital
audio device. Also see the About the Term “Latency” section from
page 44 onwards.
At the other end of the signal path, the digital signal needs to be
reconverted into an analog signal so that it can be listened to
through analog audio playback systems—i.e. an amplifier and
speakers. This process is called “digital to analog conversion”
and is dealt with by the Digital to Analog Converter (DAC).
The conversions from analog to digital and back require time,
which equals “latency”.

The “Driver Latency” and “Audio bit depth” settings only affect the
EASI/ASIO operation of the EMI 2|6. They do not have any impact on
the MME/DirectSound or SoundManager drivers.
If the EMI 2|6 is used within a program which accesses it via
ASIO or EASI (Windows only) drivers, an additional EMI 2|6
control panel can be found in the audio settings section of the
program. It is accessed by clicking on a button named Open Con-
trol Panel (or similar) from within the application.
