second units. Audio latency differs depending on the
value of the ASIO Buffer Size. The lower the value of the
ASIO Buffer Size, the lower the value of Audio Latency.
6 Enable MMCSS (Windows Vista only)
Determines whether the MMCSS (Multimedia Class
Scheduler Service) is active or not on Windows Vista. If
you place a checkmark in the checkbox, MMCSS will be
