<div><font face="Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif" color="black" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;">I have this doubt on invoking the jack server. When I built the example app and executed on command line without starting the jack server separately using qjackctl,
I could see the example app started invoking the jack server and prints the default buffer size, period etc. But if I start first the qjackctl by setting the buffer, period etc, then the app shows those settings. How does the app selects the jack server settings.
what is the correct way of running client app ?</span></font></div>

It depends... personally, I use the lowlatency kernel with no problems <br>
using an ice1712 based PCI card audio interface. Your situation may <br>
differ.<br>

Jack runs in real time mode by default. If you are running jackd2 (version <br>
1.9*) then check ~/.log/jack/jackdbus.log<br>
<br>
for the line:<br>
Thu Dec 28 10:38:26 2017: JACK server starting in realtime mode with <br>
priority 10<br>
<br>
Otherwise the same line will appear in jackd terminal output when started.<br>
<br>
Do note that part of the jackd instalation process sometimes gets missed <br>
by some installers. There should be a file <br>
/etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf If this is missing or named as disabled, <br>
you may not be able to get jackd to start in realtime mode. The two lines <br>
of importance in that file are:<br>
@audio - rtprio 95<br>
@audio - memlock unlimited<br>
Depending on your distro the group may be other than audio. Whatever that <br>
group is, your user needs to be a part of it. Most audio distributions get <br>
this right already (even ubuntustudio), but non-audio distros generally <br>
need this to be fixed. After adding yourself to the audio (or whatever) <br>
group you will need to logout and back in before that will have any <br>
effect.<br>
