the PCI latency timer determines how long a device may own the PCI bus for, it has nothing to do with audio latency. therefore, if your system allowed the video interface to hog the PCI bus for a relatively long time, but limited the audio interface to only short periods of bus ownership, then audio performance will suffer. the script i posted first resets *all* devices to an acceptable middle-of-the-road timer setting, then specifically allows the audio interfaces to own the bus for even longer.
How critical is tuning the PCI latency? In my reading about getting low latency set up, I've never heard of this part of it before. Thanks for the great info, Paul! -spencer _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
