Now I think I know why there are overruns and underruns: there is something wrong with the latencies.
The attached patch disables the special handling of the playthrough case and uses the user-settable latency for both capture and playback. The patch also contains a few diagnostic output statements that print out the suggested latencies (ignored) and the latency set in the preferences, which are the ones used. On my machine, the patch produces the following console output: default playback latency: 0,011610 suggested playback latency: 0,100000 default capture latency: 0,046440 suggested capture latency: 0,100000 This patch solves the problem for me, but of course I have only tested on my platform (64-bit Linux). ** Attachment added: "355846-patch2.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacity/+bug/355846/+attachment/1757850/+files/355846-patch2.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355846 Title: audacity stops recording after about a second when using software play-through -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
