Hello,
While the below doesn't address multiple buffers, it does talk about addressing a possible cause for latency. But before going in this direction, make sure all of your drivers are up to date. Windows, realtek, and you audio interface.
Windows 11 has a lot of complexities in its attempts to make everything "normalized" across the board for the user's experience. This may cause some functionality that is unfavorable.
The power management can be an issue with certain applications and may affect latency. You can get close to real time performance by managing your power distribution. The thing is, certain tweaks or hacks in this regard may increase your CPU core temperatures as it may draw on them for better performance. There is something we can refer to as CPU throttling or power throttling that will "pull back" power when the system thinks things are getting out of wack. By default, CPU throttling will be manged by Windows 11 to keep everything balanced. It will lower the clock rate to reduce heat internally and to help laptop batteries last longer. This can affect latency on everything from audio to video to mouse input. To help with latency, one could turn off CPU throttling. But one should also be aware of the risks.

There is a program that can analyze latency on your system and give you suggestions to correct it. I haven't used it but read about it. You may want to check it out:

And finally, if you want to go crazy with the CPU throttling, here is a video that goes into a "next level" set of tweaks:
