What's good Ill Fam? Got a new HP notebook and I use an oxygen8 and I have no latency issues at all, but at times I get the old cracks and pops like crazy, and the CPU usages is at 3-4. (next to nothing) I researched this in the archives and found out that if you turn up the buffer length iin the general settings everythings good. I tried this and it did fix the problem, but here is my question: What does "turn up the buffer length" do to the quality of the sound? and will this effect the way my midi works?

Peace

when i installed my mbox 2 drivers on my crappy laptop that only had a AMD sempron 1.8 gig/ 512 mb ram, i was having the same problems with flstudio, and it didn't matter about the asio.

i just upgraded the ram and everything was fine.
