hi list. im really wondering, if others have the same buffering-times that i have, or if there is a way to change things. i work on win95, my cpu is a 400mhz. i use a event "gina" sound card (2in, 8out), but have also testet awe 64gold and pci128 soundblaster. my lowest buffertime (to run in, out, midi and 44.1 khz was about 200 msec (with the pci128!). on all lower buffers windows is closing the audio devices. this weekend i watched msp on the mac, which was running on G3 350mhz, which has a buffer of 256 samples (or even lower). is windows unable to have the same performance??? (which results do you get with NT or linux?) or is it the soundcard the problem. tricks? or treat... marius.
I have the same problem on win98 and I blame it on the operating system. I haven't tested it on Linux yet, but maybe someone can come in and compare sound output on both operating systems.

Hi Marius,
I thought W98 did much better for latency than you described, more like 20 msec. It might be that you have to specify a "-audiobuf" to tune it. My W98 machine died (and my W98 CD too) so I can't check it any more...

What soundcard did you use when you obtained 20 ms of latency under Win98? I'm very interested in PD, even if I find it more difficult to use than Csound for the moment... However I promise myself I will study it in depth in the future. Best regards
It was an opl2sa3 on a Dell Dimension motherboard. That shouldn't have mattered much though, I think.
