Hi,
I've just tried out linuxsampler (well, qsampler really) for the
first time, with some samples from Worra's Place.
Everything seems to work but the sound is very distorted
with every gig I've tried. Ugly nonlinear distortion, almost like
a ring modulator. Not at all subtle. It happens even if I play
a single note at low velocity. Doesn't sound like xrun choppiness,
and no other apps on this box make similar sounds.
I'm using ALSA output, no Jack.
i'd wager 90% chance its a bug in linuxsampler. i would keep running
into this many times whenever i wrote ALSA i/o code until i wrote JACK.
even early versions of JACK would do it too. once JACK was fixed, i
never wrote such code again.
