thought I would post this here as it is relevant to TT3.0
how about using an alsa buffer value of -1 ? this produces quite a
difference to the sound - Alsa uses a different method to calculate the
period and buffer size, I think it is worth trying, sound is a bit more
out of the speakers, the bass and detail are excellent and it is quite
relaxing, surprising really. probably one of the best buffer setting I
have found. again it was by accident I tried a value of 9999999999 and
it overloaded the parameter and jive_alsa started with a buffer of -1, I
liked the sound and thought hmm, that sounds ok.
here is the result of ps -eo pid,tid,class,pri,rtprio,cmd | sort -nrk 4
769 769 FF 134 94 jive_alsa -d hw:0,0 -c default -b -1 -p 2 -s
24 -f 3
see the -b has a -1 value next to it.
just replace the buffer section in the TT file with this and type TT -b
-1 to try this new setting, don't worry I have tested it and you can
change the buffer back eg TT -b 20000
buffer () {
DEFBUF=20000
if [ "`grep $DEFBUF $FILE2`" != "" ] ; then
ACTBUF=$DEFBUF
else
ACTBUF="`ps -edf | grep jive_alsa | grep "\-b [-1-9][-1-9]*" | sed -e
's/.*-b \(.*\)\-p\(.*\)/\1/g' | sed -e 's/ //g'`"
fi
echo "$ACTBUF" | grep '[-1-9]\{1,8\}' || { echo "Problems finding
current buffer value!" ; exit 1 ; } ;
#echo "$1" | grep '[0-9]\{4,5\}'
#if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
# if [ $1 -gt $MAXBUF -o $1 -lt $MINBUF ] ; then
# echo "Input out of buffer-range of $MINBUF-$MAXBUF"
# exit 1
# fi
#else
# echo "Input out of buffer-range of $MINBUF-$MAXBUF"
# exit 1
#fi
killproc ## processes must be killed here, because buffer value read
from process
sed -i "s#$ACTBUF#$1#g" $FILE1 $FILE2 >/dev/null
echo "**Buffer size configuration changed"
}
