Hello everybody,
Happy new Year! :) I've just purchased a Line 6 UX2 USB-interface to receive immediate playback while practising and recording guitar. I am a complete newbie but I think I have a problem with latency that is really a pain because the sound of the interface is exceptional. The input from the guitar is immediately sent to Pod Form, but the tone gets out of the speaker just a little bit later. I do not really recognize that while playing slowly but as soon as I play several notes quite fast, the tones are delayed. I've always tried to compensate that but I that's not possible to me. Switching to my old amp, the tones are immediately there, thus I guess, that latency is not correct.
I am running the following system:
Intel I7 4770S
Asus Z-87 Pro
8 GB Corsair Vengeance 1666 mHz
Asus Xonar D2X
when I use the Realtek onboard sound, latency is still there, but slightly better!
Please find attached several screenshots of some system options. They're in German, but I try to translate them for you guys:

Do you have any idea how to solve the problem? I've already reduced buffers but still it is not possible to play the guitar for me or record parts with Ableton Live Lite.
I would be most grateful if you could give me an advice! Thank you very much in advance!
Regards,
Nico K.
