cause more problems in digital audio than almost anything. People should care about it - troubles with latency. but - the latency difference is real too. I can look for other linux utilities for reporting latency. especially if it's more common to find trouble - for anyone who would reads my original post.Īll works!. I think it might be found already on the latest "tuned" kernels like Liquorix, but I'm not sure.
#Reaper input delay driver#
The driver is being fixed currently, but I've understood that it's not reliable yet. You need to do rountrip latency tests to make sure what the actual latency numbers are. USB Audio on Linux has extra latency due to a poor state the usb audio driver has been for several years and in many cases there's 30% more latency than what applications like Cadence or Qjackctl are reporting. However, there's nothing gained that way, as the recorded audio is in poor quality and the USB interface residing as the output will add to the total latency with "the extra buffer" that's implemented there on Linux.īy the way, the reported latency values on applications are misleading. It works better the other way around, with the USB interface as the output and the motherboard audio as the input. Tested with RME Babyface and a Yamaha USB mixer / audio interface. I get only gargle with low frame and buffer rates with an USB interface as the input and the motherboard interface as the output. This tip didn't come up on many linux audio sites. some xruns, but no major sound artifacts. Or real time kernel.Ĥms is in the range of Lynx/High end-RME etc. Works great so far - and that was the lowest I got.

and few videos playing with wifi/browser etc. but not many, running 5-6 Audio applications. in the 8ms range without xruns, sometimes 7 - for the time I tested it). I got a Roland UA-25 to test (was normally. Use the interface as the 'in' ONLY (USB/Firewire). without needing the best ad/da on the out.ĭuplex it. needing low latency on small less expensive interfaces. This might be of help to musicians who do any live playing/recording. (I do online stuff for music/audio instruction)

after working with a few different disrubutions for audio for the last several months. Just throught I would share what I discovered.
