Check on the vendor's website for the latest drivers. You said this is a USB interface right? It shouldn't be too problematic, but your laptop could be bogged down with extra crap that then manufacturer installed on it, which is why it's probably not giving you the full performance. Do you have antivirus or windows defender and such utilities running on the background? Finally, do you know what chipset your board uses (the laptop)?

Should I reinstall the drivers or look in it to see if i can find something? To DJX. I have a sony Vaio laptop duel core intell 5 with 4 gigs of ram, and windows seven 64 bit professional. However I installed the 32 bit of sonar version. Also, the project was just a little demo to test the latency. I didn't load demention pro or anything just the default cake walk tts. The computer seamed to be doing good though. I think it's something to do with the interface. I'm about to insert the disk again to see if i can find any thing. I even tried finding something on the search box at start.
