-Using lower periods settings is possible too, the device starts and runs when using 8 samples for example but basically anything below 64 samples is not very usable because you quickly run into buffer issues (xruns). Linux does beat the other two OS's though when it comes to low latency values.+Using lower periods settings is possible too, the device starts and runs when using 8 samples for example but basically anything below 64 samples is not very usable because you quickly run into buffer issues (xruns). Linux does beat the other two OS's though when it comes to buffer sizes but unfortunately this doesn't result in better round-trip latencies, especially when compared to MacOS.
