Follow Len advices to reduce latency. There seldom is the need to measure the exact latency.

Run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install checkinstall then instead of running sudo make install try to use sudo checkinstall don't forget to remove all packages that belong to jackd, such as libjack-whatsoever, it's the policy of your distro to split upstream into several packages, then install the build package by sudo dpkg -i *.deb it might not work for jackd, but you could test it. However, there's no reason to test jackd before installing it, you always could remove it and reinstall the jackd related packages. Also consider to backup your install, so if you should make extreme mistakes, you could restore your install from the backup. If you need to use sudo make install then before doing this also remove all installed packages that belong to jackd, before doing it too and after "make install" don't forget to run sudo ldconfig Regards, Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
