Yes of course ! physical input/output should be patched. Thanks. How could
I've missed that !
Just to make sure : when you say that the following sentence is wrong :
"#3 : patch connections in jack : input -> jdelay, jdelay -> output, you
should
get a tone in your speakers"
you were refering to the tone part, right ? you mean that physical
connections should ALSO be made, i guess. Because if there are no
connections in jack such as I discribed signal won't get in or out, and thus
Jdelay won't be able to calculate latency.

Hi
Actually, there is some info that can be found here and there on some
forums
(see below)
JDelay is, from what I've understood, a command-line tool that allows you
to
determine your sound card latency.
#1 : start jack
#2 : type jdelay in a terminal
#3 : patch connections in jack : input -> jdelay, jdelay -> output, you
should get a tone in your speakers
this is totally and utterly wrong. you have to patch the PHYSICAL
output connector of your soundcard to the PHYSICAL input of your
soundcard.
#4 : latency is calculated, using phase
difference between input and
output
#5 : in the terminal, the latency is printed in
msec.
It never worked on my soundcard, "signal below threshold"
yes, because jdelay is sending a signal out of the soundcard expecting
it to come back, but you have not connected it so that it can.
