Hi
I tried measuring my latency with jdelay. Started in on the commandline,
first it said
Signal below threshold...
Then I connected it's input to the output of system:capture_1 with my
microphone connected and it output to the input of system:playback_1+2.
Now I get a squareish tone and when "singing" into the microphone I get
reading like these:
22442.483 Inv
58010.411 ??
43602.390 ?? Inv
43474.474
43474.474 ?? Inv
Signal below threshold...
Signal below threshold...
Signal below threshold...
25549.731 ??
25549.731 ?? Inv
37749.225 ??
37749.225 ?? Inv

24653.357 ??
24653.228 ?? Inv
25677.165 ??
11013.134 ?? Inv
25677.153 ??
2821.046 ?? Inv
2821.046 ??
The man page says the values are in samples, so for instance a value of
37749.225 should be 0.77 seconds at 48000, right? This seems bogus
(qjackctl reports 10 ms).
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Atte.
I made the same mistake at first.
Simply don't use a microphone, just a patch cable.
Latencies are calculated by frames/samplerate, the resulting numbers
are milliseconds.
What interface are you using? Maybe some comparison would be possible
(I have a usb interface).
Best regards,
Philipp

You mean creating a feedback loop on the sound card, by connecting it's
input to it's output?

Makes is even worse, I don't consider myself picky, but 37 seconds seems
like a bit much :-)
What interface are you using? Maybe some comparison

(I have a usb interface).
I have just gotten an edirol fa-66 firewire interface to replace my old
edirol ua-1a usb interface.

This sounds pretty impossible. In my case it was usually the calculated
latency + a few ms. There were cases when it was below the calculated
latency that I can't explain myself (see my thread here on LAU from
about a week ago).
I'd be interested in some values from the USB interface for comparison,
interesting settings would be:
64/2
4096/2
512/2
1024/2
512/3
1024/3
the last two are where the oddness happens here.

Right, just use a cable to connect one output to one input, connect
that input to the input of jdelay, jdelays output to the output with
the cable.
Pieter Palmers advice is also very good. For example my interface
(Edirol UA-25) has a direct monitoring switch, which has to be disabled
for this to work correctly.

Hi,
Can you actually use your usb soundcards
at p=64, n=2, 48kHz without crackling noises?
Tnx & regards,
Karsten

Hi,
I'd like to extend that question :) What kind of stability are you getting
out of the firewire interface, and what firewire chipset are you using?
Extended thanks and regards,
Robert

As far as I know you are not supposed to sing (at least to get proper
results from jack_delay it is not needed). :)
Just make a closed loop. jack_delay generates its own testing signals
(which are probably much easier to analyze than what you sing).
Hope this helps.
