Not sure exactly what you are doing, but I would have the latency a fixed value, and play the music that much sooner. I'm thinking DDR here (Yes, I dance, in my living room, with a computer.) there is no latency in the sense that it's one stream of music and done. If you want to play an effect each time a button is pressed, on a pc, I think you will find you are pretty much screwed, but I hope you find otherwise :) _________________________________________ Gareth Lewin - http://www.garethlewin.com "Facts are useless.

With the amount of layering that occurs, e.g. software application mixing which in turn might go into an API mixing system which in turn goes to a hardware mixer, I can see latencies going up to the hundreds of milliseconds. With my old audio stuff I could crank my buffer up to 500ms, and that was very...bad...feeling. For a beat matching game it would seem that you'd need extremely low latency, right up there with that of professional audio software (8-16ms or less).
