What driver mode are you using? I find ASIO to be the preferred driver mode.
Open the ASIO panel and make sure the KA6 interfaces are selected.
What NI driver version are you using for KA6? Make sure you're using V3.1.0.761, dated 12/18/2012
Do you have a web browser open while using Sonar? Close the web browser(s) and Sonar. Re-launch Sonar.
I'm use a KA6 using ASIO driver mode and can get round-trip latency as low as 1.3ms.
