I'm actually a Linux audio guy, like the real thing lol. The audio thing is easy, just select ALSA or JACK with your preferred software. JACK is fking amazing and ALSA and real audio hardware have Apple levels of low latency.

@gnarley_boot Can JACK be used to detect S/PDIF connections.ALSA on my Ubuntu won't recognize the DAC and optical cable if I use the S/PDIF setting on it. :senkoHmm:

@SuperSnekFriend
I'm using my DAC right now let me open qjackctl
Okay it depend on the software actually, Mixxx taps into S/PDIF directly and my soundcard too (whoever wrote this software is a fking mad genius). Ardour loaded without error with my DAC and JACK but I'd have to hookup my MIDI board to actually get sounds out of Odin 2 or Vital.

@SuperSnekFriend
Actually you're right JACK failed with my DAC, but worked fine with ALSA, just use ALSA it's your best fren. JACK is still good for other use cases and there maybe a work around that I just don't know or understand yet.

@SuperSnekFriend
Oh shit that part went over my head originally, Im using a MIDI USB cable with my device lol, explains everything.

@SuperSnekFriend
Yeah we're getting into "werks on my PC" territory. My PC and setup detects everything just fine. Such is the nature with electronics...
But I only would use JACK for linking two audio programs via MIDI triggers, that's actually it's purpose. It's patchbay software for audio hardware, not a sound driver LMAO!

@gnarley_boot ALSA on my PC won't detect the optical cable, so I'm wondering if it's a SystemDicks problem. :senkoHmm:

ALSA/raw hardware gang gang

@gnarley_boot @Terry @Crux_Invictus @SuperSnekFriend Yes, it's very /comfy/ for playing rhythm games. I doubt that even macfags can have lower audio latency than my soystem. (I just use raw alsa, without jack, pulse, or kikewire. I am convinced that the thing about audio breaking on linux is just a meme unless you use those. )
