I didn't know new Dell's still had the option for a SoundBlaster sound card? I thought they did away with that model sound card. What model do you have? (I do a lot of support on the Dell community users forum). The older Dell's that did have the Xfi Xtreme Audio option had a lot of problems and possibly one reason Dell discontinued using them - most users were removing the Xfi sound card and going back to the Integrated (on the motherboard) audio because of all the problems. I only see one model that has the Xfi Titanium sound card (an XPS 8300 top end model).
You would have been better starting a new thread than trying to revive an old thread. I only looked at this because I had originally responded to it.
But as I previously mentioned, Latency is something those of us with recording studios fight all the time. By the time you hear the music or whatever playing and play along there is a time lapse on recording. I have latency down to an acceptable amount in my studio, but I also have a way of syncing something if it is off slightly in my recording program (Sonar).

. Anywho,Do not even bother to try to update your drivers, reset bios or any other tweaks you might want to try, just dump it or sell it to someone who doesn't need sound card for recording, and get yorself an E-MU External card( It's the PRO range of creative), they run sweet ,but are a little more expensive. Also a friend of mine did buy a Asus Xonar card, its sound quality is simply great and clear.
