JACK process callback time period

Forums

Hi,

I'm using Jack API in a synthesizer c++ program I'm developing running over a Raspberry Pi 4.
Sample rate is 44100 ( jackSampleRate = jack_get_sample_rate(client_out); )
Buffer size is set to 512 ( jack_set_buffer_size(client_out, _JACK_AUD_PERIOD_SIZE); ) (#define _JACK_AUD_PERIOD_SIZE 512).
Calculated process callback rate is 512/44100 = 11.6mSec.
Actually, process callback is initiated every 5.8mSec (with nframes = 512).

Any idea why the process callback rate is x2 than I expect it to be? (or my assumption is wrong? Why?)

Thanks,

Nahum

getting started with qJackCtl on macos

Forums

I just installed qJackCtl (and jack) on my Macbook running Catalina 10.15.7. I plugged in my Scarlett Focusrite Solo (MIDI-USB interface) and also started Jamulus. My goal is to be able to connect a 3rd party audio source like iRealPro or Chrome (Youtube) to Jamulus (the audio sink) so that my online band partners and I can play along to a backing track, drum track, or just listen to a recording without leaving the Jamulus session. I'm having trouble getting started and I can't find any docs to help me on a Mac. Most of the docs cover Linux with Alsa.

No outputs with any other driver than 'alsa'

Forums

I'm running the latest version of qjackctl built from source on ubuntu 20.04.

I installed the Alsa-API library and if I select alsa in qjackctl's driver options, the outputs (including my USB interface) appear fine.

My goal is to use portaudio to stream audio from a custom software to dedicated speakers via a USB interface. If I select portaudio (or any driver other than 'alsa', I just get 'default' as option and the server does not start.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

latest qjackctl alsa button grayed out

Forums

Hello,

while I managed to build qjackctl from the git repo, I notice the ALSA button was grayed out in the patch bay

I uninstalled it and reinstalled the default raspbian qjacklctl package (which has the ALSA button not grayed out)

I was wondering is there any reason why it is so ?

I did not notice any advantage to use that git version, apart bezier curves used as connections in the patchbay, so I dont mind using the old one

regards
