Multiple soundcards usually have to use word clock or some proprietary method of syncing the cards. Usually one card will be the master and the others slaves. I know you can put up to 4 ST Audio DSP24 cards in one system and set one up as master. I believe the same is true for the M-Audio Delta

If I'm not mistaken the timing for your audio is coming from your sound card not your system clock. The gettimeofday is from the system clock. They probably won't match. Of course, I could be totally in the dark ;-) Jan On Sun, 2003-12-14 at 08:07, Chris Cannam wrote: > > While trying to tra
