Hello, I read a lot a great thing about the audiophile 24/96 on the net, and i decided to buy it to get better latency than my old sblive! I just received the audiophile 24/96 and unfortunatly, i have a lot of XRuns with when i run jackd. I already tried the following : - i changed irq (several

Hi, As far as minimizing buffer size is concerned - if you are doing live audio or you want to monitor recording with inboard effects turned on you need to have a small buffer size. With the envy24 chipset cards you can use hardware monitoring so you can set the buffer size to 2048 and

[Remi Bernhard] To be more sharp, i need to reduce latency because i use softsynth (zynaddsubfx, fluidsynth, etc.) that needs a low latency when playing from midi keyboard, and if not, there is a lag time, that man can hear, between the time when you hit the key, and the time it is played. I

[Jan Depner] Agreed. But the problem that keeps popping up on the lists is that people who are not doing live sound, have cards that do hardware monitoring, and don't need to use a tiny buffer size waste their time trying to get the minimum buffer size because they think they need to get
