Keep in mind that **lower latencies require better soundcards and faster CPUs** and that **zero latency DJ software is a myth** (although Mixxx is capable of < 10 ms operation). | Keep in mind that **lower latencies require better soundcards and faster CPUs** and that **zero latency DJ software is a myth** (although Mixxx is capable of < 10 ms operation). | ||

- | For detailed information on latency in Linux, you should consult the Web, as it's quite a complex topic. The [[http://jackaudio.org/faq|Jack FAQ]] is recommended reading, especially the section on "How should I configure my Linux 2.6 Operating System?". Other useful resources are the Linux Realtime guide and [[http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/sound/realtime.xml|Gentoo's documentation on the subject]]. | + | For detailed information on latency in Linux, you should consult the Web, as it's quite a complex topic.

The first thing to try if using ALSA is to set your Master output hardware to just "default" instead of specific hardware. (This made a huge difference on a test system with integrated Intel soundcard.) The drawback to this is that system sounds (KDE beeps and such) will now be mixed in and will come out the main output. | The first thing to try if using ALSA is to set your Master output hardware to just "default" instead of specific hardware.
