Problems with latency for E-drums and Ezdrummer 2

[Edouardbt]

Hello, I use Ezdrummer 2 with my Alesis command mesh kit and I can hear the sounds of Ezdrummer but I still have 20.4 ms latency even when using Asio4All and with the buffer size to 64 (minimum) and the sample rate to 44.1 kHz (I close all my applications and web pages and even turn off the internet while running it). My laptop is actually pretty good (I think)  and I only got it 3 weeks ago (https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/Aspire-%C3%89cran-Ultra-9750H-Windows/dp/B07QWSZ7CG) the processor is a 9th generation IntelCore i7-975-0H 6 core it’s supposed to be pretty good as far as I can see on internet (plus I have 16 Go of Ram). What should I do at this point, do I have to get a Daw (if so wich one) and or do I have to get a audio interface or is there some other settings that I could change to optimize the latency.

Thank you so much for you’re time!

EZdrummer version: 2.1.8
Operating system: Windows 10

for your sound output are you using the built-in speakers in your laptop, or you are using a headphone (or sound monitor) from the audio outport port – try the audio output – it will reduce the latency substantially.

I plug my earphones in the audio output of my laptop, thank you for you’re reply though!

You’d be much better off using an external interface with dedicated ASIO drivers it will come with. ASIO4ALL is a lowest common denominator driver designed to accommodate multiple systems. Set your driver buffer as low as your system will allow to reduce latency.
