PortAudio example code issue - c++

Question

I want to make a guitar effects program so I'm trying to run the example code pa_fuzz.c from PORTAUDIO API.
It works on paWDMKS host api. But when I connect the guitar using Behringer ucg 102 (for no lantency) the host api changes to paMME and I get errorCode 1 and message: "undefined external error".
Also in the visual studio output console I get tons of messages like:
'ConsoleApplication4.exe' (Win32): Unloaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SHCore.dll'
'ConsoleApplication4.exe' (Win32): Unloaded 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\shlwapi.dll'

Can you guys please have a look on what can be the problem? I have installed BEHRINGER USB WDM AUDIO 2.8.40 drivers. (I use this usb interface with guitar rig)

Answer 1

I switched to another usb port and it worked. I think it's a bug from portaudio. I will leave this answer here. Now I have another problem. LATENCY :( is so frustrating to play guitar with latency.
What can be the cause of this latency? I'm connecting my guitar with behringer ucg102 (famous for no latency). And again, I use it with Guitar Rig where I have close to 0 latency. Is it a problem from portaudio library? This code is from their example "pa_fuzz.c"
New Edit: latency problem fixed by selecting the required input and output deivice.
