how about using a buffer value of -1 ? this produces quite a difference to the sound, I think it is worth trying, sound is a bit more out of the speakers, the bass and detail are excellent and it is quite relaxing, surprising really. probably one of the best buffer setting I have found. again it was by accident I tried a value of 9999999999 and it overloaded the parameter and jive_alsa started with a buffer of -1, I liked the sound and thought hmm, that sounds ok.
here is the result of ps -eo pid,tid,class,pri,rtprio,cmd | sort -nrk 4 769 769 FF 134 94 jive_alsa -d hw:0,0 -c default -b -1 -p 2 -s 24 -f 3 see the -b has a -1 value next to it. just replace the buffer section in the TT file with this and type TT -b -1 to try this new setting, don't worry I have tested it and you can change the buffer back eg TT -b 20000 buffer () { DEFBUF=20000 if [ "`grep $DEFBUF $FILE2`" != "" ] ; then ACTBUF=$DEFBUF else ACTBUF="`ps -edf | grep jive_alsa | grep "\-b [-1-9][-1-9]*" | sed -e 's/.*-b \(.*\)\-p\(.*\)/\1/g' | sed -e 's/ //g'`" fi echo "$ACTBUF" | grep '[-1-9]\{1,8\}' || { echo "Problems finding current buffer value!" ; exit 1 ; } ; #echo "$1" | grep '[0-9]\{4,5\}' #if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then # if [ $1 -gt $MAXBUF -o $1 -lt $MINBUF ] ; then # echo "Input out of buffer-range of $MINBUF-$MAXBUF" # exit 1 # fi #else # echo "Input out of buffer-range of $MINBUF-$MAXBUF" # exit 1 #fi killproc ## processes must be killed here, because buffer value read from process sed -i "s#$ACTBUF#$1#g" $FILE1 $FILE2 >/dev/null echo "**Buffer size configuration changed" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SBGK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52003 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94499 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
