Thanks to all for the anwers. Anyway (there have been some incomprention) my card is a pci audigy player, not an usb one. I use for example ams in realtime driven via midi. If I don't use jack and output directly to alsa, why doesn't the latency decrease? I think: midi in latency + synth lat + alsa out lat instead of midi in latency + synth lat + jack lat + alsa out lat What's wrong? I've another issue. When I use the digital output of my card I cannot adjust the volume, but only mute/unmute the output from the alsamixer. Is it a driver limit or maybe have I to put something in asound.conf (I don't have that file, only asound.state)? Antonio, bye.
