Resolume Forum

We use audio triggering in Resolume. We recieve audio from the DJ and loop it thru our videomixer to our Laptops.

Our mixer has an equalizer and displays the incoming audio correctly (no latency). But resolume displays the incoming audio with a latency of approximatly 500 milliseconds (0.5 second).

Our laptops both have a Sigmatel onboard audio card.

One laptop has a Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz with 1 Gb Ram and a Ati 9600 (dell Inspirion 9100).
The other is a Pentium M 1.6 Ghz with 512 Mb ram and a Ati X300 (dell Inspirion 9300).

Both running XP SP2 dedicated for Resolume

Is it adviseable to buy a real Soundcard like a Audigy or is it a Resolume problem (software issue).

If you need more info regarding this issue please ask.

i don't have the chance to test the latency of mine Toshiba QOSMIO G20 but i don't notice any big delay.
I have audio direct connected to the DJ mix table may be your video mix table that make that delay..

PS: notice that some mix tables (video and audio) send audio out with some latency for record proposes

I have an M-AUDIO FW410 and notice almost the same latency. It's a good card so i guess you're not going to solve the prob by only buying a better card, in other words the problem looks not related to the audio card intrinsic latency. I'm curious too about the causes of this issue and wait for Resolume 2.4 where i hope this audio interaction issues will be solved by the new bpm sync feature.
