Here is a screenshot of my hardware settings.
I have an i5 4690k @ 4.3 ghz, 16 GB ram, gtx 1080.
I have a yamaha steinberg UR44 as you can see.
Im not sure what happened but all the sudden i am suffering from unbelievable delay. Like half a second delay.
Not sure what other information you would need but i'd be happy to provide any other details you need.
Thanks guys.

Unless I'm completely misreading the figures in the screenshot of the Steinberg driver, you have an input latency of 4.240 milliseconds (that's 4 decimal two four zero) and output latency of 5.215 milliseconds. Added together they total just under 10 milliseconds, or 10 thousandths of a second, nothing like you stated as being "half a second". (If you are reading those figures as 4,240 milliseconds + 5,215 milliseconds, that would equate to a total of nearly 10 seconds!)
So, if you do have a latency problem on your machine I would strongly suggest it is not caused by your interface driver. Something else must be the cause.
Or, have you posted that screenshot in order to demonstrate that your interface is not the problem?

That's exactly what im confused about. It is literally half a second when i monitor the recording through my interface headphone jack. Is there anything that i can change as far as monitoring goes? Is there a way to change the output to my computer speakers and then use headphones? Any advice?
EDIT: Restarted my computer and it is better but not fixed by any means. The inputs and outputs show that Im on the correct input. I dont know what else to do here.

Can you post a screenshot of your Audio Channel Mapping page?

Sure thing, Heres everything, everything else is "unavailable"

So is the latency when you are trying to monitor yourself when recording or something that happens as a delay when you start playing back audio? The UR44 has zero latency monitoring (direct monitoring of input mixed with playback from the computer) so there should be any latency.

Good question. The latency monitoring is when im trying monitor myself while recording. Thats the reason why i bought the UR44 honestly- because i was told that there was zero latency- and honestly it was working fine for a while but all the sudden it stopped.

I was curious and went and had a look at the UR44 on the Steinberg site. I was a bit surprised not to see a direct monitoring knob on the front of the interface. Most brands have a knob on the front that let's you set a balance between the mic input(s) live and any playback from the computer. Done this way, the mic is monitored direct from the input, i.e. without the round trip via the computer. This is how true zero latency is achieved. Any time you monitor via a computer there is some latency but probably in the order of the 9ish ms as per your screen shot.
However, if I read the Steinberg site properly, instead of the hardware knob on the front, they control their direct monitoring from a control screen that comes with the drivers. They're not totally clear but I think this is right.
If this IS the case, it might be worth checking settings on that Steinberg control to see if something funny is happening there.
Other than that I'm baffled.

Man i cant even find anything where i would change a setting like that, do you have any idea where i could locate those settings?
