Bought an M-Audio Xponent - need help getting it working

[Patch]

What is most surprising is the latency beetween headphones and audio system.

Yeah - that's baffled me too. It's almost as if there is a different latency setting for each pair of outs?

I want it to use my pc speakers

but there seems to be quite a bit of latency - the speakers are a 1/4 second behind the headphones.

I'm guessing its a DSP issue.

Do your PC speakers have an effects processor e.g. virtual 5.1 or various EQ modes ? If yes, set the mode to "bypass" if available.

If not, your possibly screwed - alot of PC speakers have so much processing it causes too much latency for DJ'ing purposes.

If you post the make / model of them it might shed more light on the problem.

Good idea, but..... he told us that it's the headphone wich is late from the speakers sound. if latency come from PC speakers due to processing, it should be the speakers to be late. Isn't it?

Nope he said:

Pending more info, I stand by my diagnosis

Oh yeas, right 1/4 behind. My brain is probably more than 1/4 second behind me :-)

So, yes, I would agree with the diagnosis of a long time processing for speakers signal.

You can't use laptop speakers for DJ'ing. You can, but don't!

Are we talking about laptop speakers, or speakers connecte to a desktop's sound card?
