>> On the latency webpage, did you also read the section about bypassing pulseaudio/dmix (-o audio.alsa.device=plughw:0)? Or do you perhaps do not use pulseaudio or dmix at all?
it also depend on the sample rate of the soundfonts in sf2 match with the sample rate of audio.alsa device if the soundfonts are 44100Hz , you may need to change the defaults.pcm.dmix.rate from 48000 to 44100Hz e.g. PA server use 44100Hz , so there is no need for resampling The other factor is the size of the soundfont fluidsynth: warning: Failed to pin the sample data to RAM; swapping is possible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347307 Title: severely distorted audio playback using "fluidsynth" and soundfonts -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
