Hi Bill, thanks for the replies. Yes, we are doing research on "ultra-low" latencies with accompanying realtime Linux and realtime software. With good PCI cards, our test synthesizer can run quite stable at 8 samples per period (and 2 periods per buffer) at 192KHz. Now for presentations we need to show that on a laptop... And, btw, our software synthesizer is running on realtime Java :) Thanks, Florian On 2/22/2008 1:48 AM, Bill Unruh wrote: > On Fri, 22 Feb 2008, Florian wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> on our IBM/Lenovo T60 laptop, we want higher audio quality than >> the built-in HD-Audio, especially low latency - in the range of 1 >> millisecond or lower. >> >> Can anyone recommend a PCCard/Cardbus soundcard, or possibly a >> USB card supported by alsa and which you've been able to run with >> low latency? > > The usb audio maudio transit I have been quite pleased by, esp now that the > alsa has stabilised for this card.
