Hi, With Jack I find it depends a lot on the speed of the CPU you have, what sound card you're running, how much memory you've got, and what else is running on the machine too.
In this case is Icecast, Jack, and Rivendell all running on the same machine? And if it is, is Icecast being used to send the stream to another server, or are listeners connecting directly to that Icecast server? One other thing with the GX280's (which won't be related to Jack overruns, but something to check) - they were one of the lines of Dell's that is known for having been made with bad capacitors. On 280's I've worked with, I always have a look at the capacitors and if they look at all questionable then I'll re-cap the motherboard. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [RDD] JACK question > From: Rob Landry <[email protected]> > Date: Thu, September 18, 2014 10:06 am > To: [email protected] > > > I have a client who, for lack of a budget, has to run an old Dell Optiplex > GX280 as a Rivendell playback machine for a student radio station.
