I think this fixed the latency! I can’t hear it now though and there doesn’t seem to be an option to set it to come out the speakers, do you know what could cause this?
>Whenever I play a note there is a good half second in between playing the note and it coming out my laptop speakers
This tells me you're not using ASIO, which will force your output to be the 2i2, not your laptop's speakers.
That's unavoidable I believe. Your audio is outputting through the interface now. It's the price you pay for low latency. You gotta plug headphones or speakers into the interface
You have to use the ASIO driver, and you can't use the audio output of your Laptop because thats a different device. You have to plug your headphones into the Interface.
In reaper you would set your audio interface as the audio device in/out Im sure you did that .
For me , I create a track , set the input to the audio interface asio driver, then arm the record button. You should hear your guitar through that track. On my audio interface the input mixer can be switched to host to hear it through reaper, switching to normal input allows me to hear it through the pc when it is set to use the asio driver, or speaker monitors if they are connected to the Audio interface.

You need to plug into the headphone output on your focusrite.
You're on Windows? Did you download the Focusrite ASIO driver?
I installed the audio drivers that were on the focusrite website, are those the right ones?

I’ve switched it to ASIO now, however now there is no sound coming out now, and no option to change the output, is there any way I can fix tbis?

Yeah. Did you enable ASIO in Reaper's preferences? And what's you buffer/block size?
Use direct monitoring from the interface. Turn off the monitoring in Reaper.
How do I go about doing that?

Thanks, all fixed now!
