REAL 0.2.0

No matter what audio device you use and how you connect it to your computer, there will always be a latency - a lag between what the computer outputs and what reaches your ears. In particularly bad cases, the latency can be so noticeable that it'll ruin your experience - for example, there will be a delay between a gun you shoot in Halo and the gunshot reaching your ears. There are numerous programs out there that'll help you minimize the latency, and one of them is REAL.

REAL, or Reduce Audio Latency, is a tool designed to address a common sound problem specific to Windows 10. For years, users have noticed a latency on the default playback device. All programs have a default 10-millisecond buffer to render audio. However, some latency issues begin when a program requests the use of small buffers, as the program tends to be designed using this precise buffer size. However, that just ends up adding on to the built in latency.

This program is easy to use. Before you get started, the developer recommends you update the drivers for audio devices and have the Windows in-box HDAudio driver. As soon that's done, all you need to do is boot the program up and it will automatically solve the latency issues for as long as the app is running. That's really all there is to it - REAL is easy to use and effective at what it does. If you've been noticing some sound lag, then give this program a download.
