With Csound 5 and ASIO in the past, I have been able to get 10 to 15 ms delay without dropouts, 5 to 10 ms delay with some dropouts. I will be checking this again soon.

I've had the same issues with M-Audio and input latency with Csound5. 
Although I get great performance with output (64/128 buffers), not even 
huge buffers get smooth audio in. This is also definitely using the ASIO 
drivers (queried with -idevaudio99). For both firewire and pci cards.

Has anyone using winXP with csound5 had  good audio IN and OUT latency, 
simultaneously? I'd love to hear about their hardware specs, It might be 
worth buying a better device.

Cheers,

Bill B
