[Jack-Devel] Is this right for me?
I need to send 8 channels of audio, 4 stereo and 2 mono, across our
network. From one side of the building to the other. This will be up 24/7.
I've been trying to figure this out for about 6 hours straight and I'm
about to pull my hair out. :) What little I have left.
I currently have two machines setup on my desk. Each has one sound card
currently. Both are windows 7 x64 machines.
My goal was to setup one link to do this all.
I can listen to the audio and reroute it on each machine locally but not
over the network. No firewalls are enabled. I can also see on the server
machine the slave connecting in the status window.
My understanding is *Audio Source -> Slave Machine -> Network -> Master
Machine -> Audio Goal*
I realize this program is primarily a linux program, but I'm more
comfortable in windows.
So I guess I have two questions...
1:) Can I do 8 channels of audio over one set of machines and achieve
latency under 100ms?
2:) What am I doing wrong here?
I'm using Qt Jack Controller to do this...
Start Master: 23:37:43.128 jackd -S -v -dportaudio -d"MME::Line In (High
Definition Audio " -r48000 -p1024 -i2
Start Slave: 23:42:58.915 jackd -v -P10 -dnet
Then from command prompts...
Run jack_load netmanager on master
Run jack_load audioadapter on slave
Thanks for your advice in advance. I've been struggling with a solution
that won't cost me $12000+. There are commercial boxes available that
will do this but each end is like $1500.
