Up to the ALSA driver step these delays would be the same on any Linux system. Do Linux desktop systems experience these types of delays? I have experienced these types of delays trying to setup a Windows box as karaoke machine. In fact, I've never seen a DJ use anything but a Mac. That leaves the question, how does Apple do it?
- stinos 12y agoI would guess the driver model works closely together with the hardware which in practice roughly means you get samples from the ADC and put them into a buffer which is then directly accessible by the toplevel userland software. Which in turn puts output samples into a buffer which is then directly fed to the DAC. At least that is also how it works for ASIO or for example for data acquisition cards from major players like National Instruments.
- krakensden 12y agoALSA isn't the problem- JACK runs on top of ALSA, and people comfortably run well under 10ms. The problem is higher up in the stack. Even switching to the much-maligned pulseaudio could be a huge improvement: http://arunraghavan.net/2012/01/pulseaudio-vs-audioflinger-fight/ http://arunraghavan.net/2012/01/pulseaudio-vs-audioflinger-f...
