How to Fix the Latency With the US-122 & Ableton
In audio production, latency is the gap between when you press a key on a keyboard or make a sound into a microphone and when you hear it through the speakers or headphones. When using the Tascam US-122 audio interface with Ableton Live or any other recording software, you may experience a long latency time, which makes recording difficult. The latency can be adjusted in the software control panel for the interface.

When I choose asio, no sound comes out. Not even the faders move and the play/record buttons don't respond. But when I choose the DirectX driver it works with a 2 second gap between audio (not acceptable). Any idea on how to fix it other than re-installing the driver?
