Question....would you know if changing to a differnt interface would help to lower the latency or are most the same when it comes to this or does it depend on the computer and software?
As far as I know the values are the Input/Output latency. So 8.6/9.3 means a total of at least 8.6+9.3 = 17.9ms.

The best I've got on my computer is a total of about 14ms for my USB interface and a total of about 12ms with my Firewire interface. Both are too high for me because I can feel the latency. Also, I get pops and clicks on the lowest latency settings.

I recently fitted an inexpensive M audio Audiophile 2496 PCI card which gives me a reported latency of 3.8/3.5 for 128 samples at 41000Hz. No pops and clicks and the latency doesn't bother me. So a PCI interface is the best low latency solution for my 32 bit Vista OS computer.
