Latency with OSS and JACK

[mixx941]

Hi everyone.

I'm experiencing quite a noticeable amount of latency when running JACK with OSS when routing the input of the card back to the output. Originally I was using the built-in FreeBSD sound driver (emu10k1) and was trying different things to get the least latency possible so I installed 4Front's OSS to try.

The latency when using OSS on this same task is much higher than with emu10k1 in FreeBSD. After playing around with some of JACK's settings and the included FreeBSD driver, I was able to get the latency down to where it's not super noticeable but there was still a bit of an "echo" effect. Since I'm going to be doing lots of live recording, I wanted to try OSS again to see if there would be an improvement over that. The result is a much more noticeable delay which is heard as well as seen visually on ossxmix's output meters (the "record" meters show it incoming correctly with no visual delay). I don't have any accurate numbers on the latency but I would guess between 100ms and 200ms with OSS whereas the latency indicator for FBSD's emu10k1 was showing around 16ms with my settings.

With OSS, the "Frames/Period" (-p) option in JACK doesn't seem to have any effect on the latency as it does with emu10k1. Also, the "-b" option ("Ignore hardware period/buffer size") has to be used with OSS, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this.

Basically what I'm trying to do right now is take the sound card's line input which is a mono source and send it back out on both left and right channels so I hear it in both headphones when recording. I'm doing this by connecting the "capture_1" in JACK to both 'playback_1" and "playback_2".

Are there some OSS options I'm missing which might be causing the higher latency than FreeBSD's emu10k1 driver? I've tried with JACK as root with realtime priority and without and things don't seem to change. I've also tried with the ULE and 4BSD schedulers without much change either. It doesn't seem to be a CPU overload problem since I was doing some tests with only the necessary things open and things were the same.

Also, is there a better way to do what I am trying to do that I might be missing?

My hardware is:
Athlon64 X2 5200+
2GB RAM
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum
FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE [amd64]
oss-freebsd7-v4.0-1015-amd64

Thanks in advance!

Hmm, try without the virtual mixer (vmix) loaded. The virtual mixer tries to do some software conversions (sample rate, channels) and mixing (the latter not support on FreeBSD) between the client program and the card, but it (very likely) adds to the latency. Programs can force an override by adding the O_EXCL flag when opening the dsp device or by mmap (see below), but I'm not sure oss2jack does that.

Another thing that helps a tiny bit is using the mmap programming technique. If oss2jack has a switch to let it do that, than it could shave off a few ms.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I tried without vmix loaded however there was no noticeable difference.

I'm not familiar with or running oss2jack that I know of. What I've been doing so far is running jackd with the "-d oss" option (along with other options to try to reduce the latency) either directly or from qjackctl. Then I use qjackctl to connect the sound card's "capture_1" (left channel) to both "playback_1" (left) and "playback_2" (right) to be able to hear the mono source in both headphones. JACK is getting input from and sending output to "default" which appears to be /dev/dsp0.

The only messages I've seen so far that might help is this from /dev/sndstat after running JACK for a short while and having it routed as I mentioned:

Code: Select all

/dev/oss/sblive0/pcm0.00: pid 2992 cmd 'jackd' IN OUT 610 underruns 3 overruns
/dev/oss/sblive0/pcm0.00: pid 3173 cmd 'jackd' IN OUT 144 underruns
/dev/oss/sblive0/pcm0.00: pid 3247 cmd 'jackd' IN OUT 261 underruns 2 overruns


Not sure if those are related or if they might just be from some of the JACK options I have been trying with.

Thanks again,

Does any one know how to get OSSv4 working with jack to output audio? I am using Audicious music player which has the jack plugin but I get no audio.

This is what I get below in message from jackd

It says 'unknown driver', so it's not compiled in. Which version are you using?
