It could be that the pc just can't keep up with the demands of low latency.
How good and fast a pc is it?
Is this a daw built for music, or some older office or off the shelf
machine being used as a daw?
And what sampling rate are you using, typically, the higher the
sampling rate, the lower the latency inherent in that setting.
My wife has a nice i5 machine,
low end daw built, and i can't run the latency up to full lowest even
on that machine.
even on my fastest i7 beast,
with internal pci interfaces,
and running at 24-96 I don't trust running at full bore because it's
just not as stable,
yes, we can get 1 ms latency,
but better to let it go to 3 or 5 especially with projects that have
lots of plug-ins and or audio.
also, what other stuff might be going on in the background,
stealing resources and maybe cutting your latency performance?
Sometimes drivers and how well they are written can have a profound
effect, are you doing wdm, or asio?
I tend to like the stability of asio better, but sometimes you can
tweak and get better latency with wdm.
Try your device on a faster machine and see what happens, and
elinimate anything that might be bottlenecking.

Hi, sorry for the cross posting.
A friend has a problem with Sonar7 and a safire pro24dsp. When he
sets the latency on "short" from the software mixer of the soundcard
Sonar stops the playback and after a second appears the audio
dropout message, and if he press play another time sonar tells that
it doesn't support the current audio device.
We have tryed also Sonar8.5, but also in that case, if he moves the
latency from medium to short the problem occurs again.
We have neen thinking about the firewire that isn't sufficient, we
have restored the system more times, buttthe problem remains.
What can be done to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
