Discussion

Latency is a combination of the sound card, sound driver, sound technology (DirectSound, waveOut or hardware drivers). This function isn't guaranteed to be perfect, but it will be as accurate as possible.

This function will not return meaningful results if a per-voice output filter (DirectSound3D or EAX) option was chosen when the digital driver was opened.
