Anyway, thanks for the program - once I get home from work I will give it a shot.

That's a fascinating way to measure the latency - however it may not be a good way to measure pygame mixer's own latency specifically (it's really odd if you can't see a difference with different mixer buffer settings). If you believe "gamer keyboard" sales people marketing, depending on the hardware keyboards can have latencies up to like 100ms all on there own. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1908876,00.asp Also, I wonder what results the same test would give using something other than pygame to play the sound? here's some code on the mac that may be able to do that: ------------------- from AppKit import NSSound class MacSound: def __init__(self, filepath): self._sound = NSSound.alloc() self._sound.initWithContentsOfFile_byReference_(filepath, True) def play(self): self._sound.play() def stop(self): self._sound.stop() def is_playing(self): return self._sound.isPlaying() -------------------- that way you'd have some other data point for comparison.

I am measuring latency by recording the whole thing in an audio recorder, and measuring the difference in time between the sound of me hitting enter and the sound of the sample being played. In my tests, it seems to average to about 65 or 70 ms, with a maximum of about 100ms.
