I'm not sure what your exact question is but I'm guessing you are
looking for a quick fix to reduce the latency (delay).

The first thing I would try is to reduce the buffer sizes.

Some useful info available here:

I suspect the latency is present all the time including for other applications
but only noticing it when gaming as that's when it's most obvious.

I hope you get it sorted.
