Audio latency

Post by silikone » 09 Aug 2014, 05:43

What factors play a role in audio latency, and how well is it synchronized with the video? I know that ASIO is supposed to be an API specifically made for minimal latency, but are there any games that support it?

Low-latency audio eats too much CPU, so it's not done for games. But it's usually not a problem anyway. Audio latency around 100ms or so is not noticeable.
