Re: [LAU] [SOLVED] "Skewed" Audio with JACK

I do have only one RAM socket filled with 8G rather than the suggested two 4G RAM so the cpu can access ram faster (I don't know the right words). Anyway, I have the lowest priced ASUS MB that has 3 PCI slots, ps2 mouse and keyboard plugs... nothing else matters :) Well actually, having too many bells and whisles on the MB may matter, but I haven't tried that. Another thing to try if you already run in performance mode, do you have "Boost" turned off in bios? In performance mode with Boost enabled, the cpu speed may still change between the highest normal cpu speed up to the highest boost speed. Changes in CPU speed has been known to cause audio irregularities. That is I can run with the cpu a solid 800MHz with less trouble at lower latency than with ondemand (atom single core cpu was tested most though I did do some testing on an old P4 as well and performance mode does still make a difference with the i5 though I have not tested how much) Ondemand can run anywhere from 800Mhz to top speed. I have just learned how to control boost from the cli and will do some testing with it on and off to see how much difference it makes for me. Be careful when you see the words good low latency performance from computer people. Low latency for most computer engineers seems to mean less than 30ms. 30ms is pretty much useless for live effects (guitarix) or live softsynth use. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net
