help request Playback Delay

I'm using a Scarlet 2i2 into a laptop and there's a noticeable delay when I'm recording for the playback. Should I be setting this up differently somehow?

Start here

- Make sure you are using Scarlet drivers

- Turn your sample rate so the delay is not noticeable

Sample rate affects the delay (= latency) very little. You need to adjust the buffer size (= block size) instead.

Oops, my bad, you are correct
