[SOLVED] Alsa latency configuration

splintercdo · 09-23-2011, 03:59 PM

Which file/s should I configure to change alsa parameters such as period size?

Basically, how do I lower or increase alsa latency?

Edit... I am on Lubuntu 11.04

OK, I found it! The file is: /etc/asound.conf
here is example of my newly created asound.conf which gives MUCH better results:

Code:

pcm.card0 {
type hw
card 0
}

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}


pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 2048
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 2048
buffer_size 65536
buffer_time 0
periods 128
rate 48000
channels 2
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
