Hi,
I found this info:
"USB and jack
The USB interrupt period is 1 msec. To be able to get lower latency with
jack when using it with an USB device, you have to use a setting as
48kHz and 3 period. It will makes the buffer time a multiple of 1 msec
and you will get a much lower latency as with the default 2 period.
Additionaly, loading the snd-usb-audio with the parameter "nrpacks=1"
will give you a much lower latency (for this to work take care that
CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH is not set and CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is not set
in your running kernel)."
http://proaudio.tuxfamily.org/wiki/index.php?title=Howto_RT_Kernel#USB_and_…
1) is this info still up-to-date?
2) how do I exactly take care of this:
"Additionaly, loading the snd-usb-audio with the parameter "nrpacks=1"

CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH is not set and CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is not set

In my experience 48kHz/3 periods works a bit more stable, the possible
latency settings in jack don't really change, 64 frames is still the
lower boundary and unstable.
But I haven't heard about 2) and am very curious about this myself.

Thanks, you're right, CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is not set and CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH
doesn't
even show up.
I'll try to load with that option tomorrow and see how it goes.

Hi,
don't know where I found this on the net that setting the buffer size
for usb audio a multiple of 1 ms duration, e.g. for 48000 kHz p=48 will
allow very low latencies. I tried this today with the latest rt kernel
and the cheap burr brown usb codec pcm2902 used in my behringer uca202:
options snd_usb_audio nrpacks=1
/usr/bin/jackd -R -P79 -dalsa -dhw:1,0 -r48000 -p48 -n2 -Xseq
It runs smoothly on a centrino laptop (pentium M, cpu freq stepping
between 0.6 and 1.6 GHz).
I built a plain vanilla 2.6.31.12 with the latest rt20 patch applied,
debs available my repo - read more:
http://www.sidux.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=9396&…
Imho the latest rt20 is much more robust than rt19 - I like it!
Maybe some of the jack and usb gurus (Paul?, Clemens?) can confirm the
-p48 -n2 setting.

You don't need this option; the driver was fixed to use sensible
values years ago.
/usr/bin/jackd -R -P79 -dalsa -dhw:1,0 -r48000 -p48
-n2 -Xseq
It runs smoothly on a centrino laptop (pentium M, cpu freq stepping

Maybe some of the jack and usb gurus (Paul?, Clemens?) can confirm the
-p48 -n2 setting.
For most USB audio devices, using period sizes that are an integer
multiple to the USB packet size (1 ms) will definitely help. Some
devices like the SB Audigy 2 NX or UA-101 do not synchronize their
sample clock to the USB clock (and this has nothing to do with USB
2.0), and in those cases, the period size does not matter.
(I did not know that Jack now supports lengths that are not powers
of two.)

Clemens
