First post here - hello!
I have posted this in the Linux Mint forum as well but have had no takers so after much googling, I have found you!
So I changed my PC last week for a much newer model and put my HDDs into the new PC.
Everything is working fine apart from Jack. I checked with Qjackctrl and I am getting x-run callback errors (I didn't previously), which is leading to slightly clipped audio and crackling noises (although oddly that does not broadcast out on my radio stream)
I did find information online but it confused me about whether I should be increasing latency. The current latency in jack is 46.4 ms. I have increased the buffer in qjackctrl to 4 rather than 2. I seem to have fewer problems but still some.
My old machine was 12 years old and this one is much newer with 16gb of memory so I thought it would be really fast.
I did wonder if I should try using low latency, as I did when I first started online radio but I cannot seem to find the right version.
I am currently on standard kernel 5.3.0-51. I have tried booting into a low-latency version but this does not fix the problem either. I have an excellent friend who understands Linux audio inside out but I do not want to keep troubling him, although he always knows the solutions. At his advice I did run realTimeConfigQuickScan.pl. After following the instructions, I only get one bit now it says is "not good and doesn't seem easily fixable. (He said the other 2 Not Goods would lead me to more problems, which are below)
Kernel with Real-Time Preemption... not found - not good (RT Kernel is not necessary, lowlatency kernel is good enough)
Checking CPU Governors... - not good (changing CPU governor to 'performance' is not a good idea as system will run at full power and fans may get noisy, JACK should run no problem with no need to change this)
So really I am after any advice to fix my x run error as it's making it difficult for me to do radio shows. Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this.
Thanks in advance
Kyle
