Change latency in audio driver?

use another USB slot?
does it need more power?

Thank you for your reply!
I have already tried to change USB slots and another mac, PC and powered USB hub and nothing at all. Also I have tried to change the latency and nothing again!
Do you have another idea??

[djrickdawson]

have you got the latest drivers/ firmware?

Do you mean distorted/loud (gain) or audio or glitches/pops (latency settings)? The soundcard in the K2 is not very good, apparently. Check your output routings also, your master out should be 1/2 (rear RCAs) and your monitor out should be 3/4 (headphones)

Yes it seems more like glitches from latency! I have tried to change the latency but nothing. I have the latest firmware and I run Mac OS 10.9.x. When I play staccato sounds is more noticeable it trims the tail of sound. I checked also with ableton and like first output soundcard for mac and the same issue goes on.
