I've never seen this mentioned before. AFAIK, with --sync jackd2 writes the outputs to the driver when all clients have run, same as jackd1. Without --sync it writes the outputs of the previous cycle before any clients run, resulting in one period more latency but a bit more resilience agains xruns. -- FA _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
