is it possible that shared audio Latency in wasapi can be lower as 22 ms ?

Question

In exclusive mode wasapi work with 10 ms good. (see ms and buffer size in studio one) . Then youtube and windows sound do not work on same device. When disable exclusive there is latency of 22 ms show. seem windows intern add 12 ms latency and there can a delay hear. this is too much for realtime play. is it not possible that Microsoft add the feature that shared wasapi can work with at least 12 ms on modern systems ?. this is ok too. todays PC get faster so it should be possible to have shorter shared audio latency.

Answer 1

22 ms is good latency for shared mode

There are good reasons to NOT reduce it further, especially that YouTube playback does not need such mode of operation. Low latency is the domain of pro audio applications and this is covered by exclusive mode, assuming you could put some additional effort from your end either via development or by putting another audio output device if you need shared and exclusive side by side.
