That's typical for a lot of bottom-of-the-line onboard audio hardware 
using hw:* devices.  You could try using a plughw device instead, but 
Jack is probably better and faster.

I've never found that it affects anything but keypress latency, though. 
Have you tried cranking the gain down some in case you're getting 
clipping?
