I have had my 2i2 audio interface for about a month now and have been getting to grips with some recording (I am using reaper).
However I am unable to get rid of the latency. According the the Asio Configuration the input latency is 11.3 ms and the output is 16.3 ms.
When I try reducing the buffer length it results in popping and clicking.
I do have the latest driver installed and the older one deleted so it’s not down to that.
If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated as its stopping me from properly recording.

You are asking more than is reasonable for a cheap interface an
You are asking more than is reasonable for a cheap interface an a non-tweaked non-specialized computer. Direct monitoring is the option that is designed into the 2i2 by the manufacturer. If it isn't loud enough then a solution would be a headphone amp. This will provide plenty of headphone juice. Besides, headphone amps are how it is done in a pro studio or semi pro home studio as well.

I am quite certain that the Scarlett 2i2 offers direct hardware monitoring, which will have a near-negligible latency. Use that instead of monitoring through Reaper.
I can see that there's a Direct Monitor option on the 2i2, as seen on the connection diagram.
