 Miles Dyson | I do have security.rtkit.enable = true;. | 07:35:26 |
 @fractivore:cyberia.club | But really the possibilities are just too numerous... You'll have to do some troubleshooting on your end. Check your audio routing for rogue input from microphones and that sort of thing. | 07:35:29 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | With JACK it's really easy to get signal going to the wrong places. | 07:35:58 |
| Miles Dyson | Does jack and or pipewire require realtime? | 07:36:10 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | With sonic-pi it's easy to code up something that has artifacts. | 07:36:18 |
| Miles Dyson | The clicks happen when youtube videos play as well. | 07:36:50 |

Does jack and or pipewire require realtime? No, but anytime I try to do audio stuff using my usual stack without the realtime kernel, the audio sounds like trash in some way shape or form. It seems like the system can't keep up. | 07:37:47 |
| Miles Dyson | What is the process for installing and selecting a realtime kernel? | 07:39:08 |

The clicks happen when youtube videos play as well. IDK, could you have set the sample rate to something extreme? Can you check your CPU load using e.g. htop and see if it's related? I get clicks sometimes when I'm getting a lot of xruns, but just youtube shouldn't cause that. | 07:39:40 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | What's your hardware? | 07:39:50 |

I do have security.rtkit.enable = true;. I think this is all you need to do to enable the realtime kernel. | 07:40:05 |

I think this is all you need to do to enable the realtime kernel. Wait, maybe not, this just gives realtime scheduling priority to various processes.... | 07:42:33 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Use musnix probably: https://github.com/musnix/musnix | 07:43:00 |

| Miles Dyson | Damn . . . audio still scratches. | 08:10:00 |
 mei 🌒& | that memory clock looks awfully low for a modern Zen | 12:34:26 |
| mei 🌒& | oh I guess it's cpu clock and it's sleeping | 12:37:43 |
|  @bandithedoge:matrix.org joined the room. | 15:42:52 |
| Miles Dyson | The audio was clicking because of a codec. | 17:10:29 |
