scarecrow Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Personally, I doubt if you REALLY need the mm-kernel to work with a pseudo-24bit soundcard like the SB Live. The normal kernel has sufficiently low latency time, you won't notice any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emh Posted October 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Personally, I doubt if you REALLY need the mm-kernel to work with a pseudo-24bit soundcard like the SB Live. The normal kernel has sufficiently low latency time, you won't notice any difference. Actually, there is a difference between the regular kernel and multimedia kernel. I've recorded audio with the regular kernel before, and there are small pops and cracks in the audio. Plus, the multimedia kernel allows realtime scheduling for normal users, helpful in running plugins while recording. While I could do that with the regular kernel by running as root, I'd rather not.
