Sometimes things are fine, sometimes I get clicks and even stuttering playback. It is not related to buffer size, I have tried unrespectable lengths to no avail.
My sense is that audio playback is just not a priority to my system.
OS: Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon 5.6.8
Kernel: 5.15.0-89-lowlatency
Interface: 1st gen Scarlett 2i2
CPU: i5-8250U
RAM: 24GB
DAW: Reaper 7.05
Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.15.0-89-lowlatency running: yes
Sound Server-2: JACK v: 1.9.20 running: yes
Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.48 running: yes
This happens with both JACK and ALSA when it happens. PipeWire is not supported by my DAW.
I have purged pulseaudio from this sacred place.
I think I'm missing something. I have downloaded ubuntustudio-installer, and might throw that in the mix, but I'm not sure what it will change for the better, and less sure what might change for the worse. Do I enable backports PPA if I proceed?
I really appreciate any tips on how to make this more smooth, I do live performance often, but I'm on a break to figure this out and write more music.
Thank you!
