- Fourth-gen Scarletts still use Apple’s built in Core Audio USB driver, and it is possible to install an additional ‘codeless kernel extension’ that reduces that latency figure slightly, although Apple Silicon Mac users have boot in Safe Mode to enable kernel extensions as part of Apple’s generally tighter security measures in their newer operating systems. With the kernel extension in place, a round trip latency of under 5ms is possible, comparing favourably with all but the best bespoke custom · dt7v1i9vyp3mf.cloudfront.net
