Latency doesn't work with PulseAudio on linux












4















I have two speakers. The first one is connected to a PCI card and the second one via Bluetooth. Sounds are played a little bit earlier on the PCI card so I want to add some latency. I downloaded the pulse audio GUI and I have this :

As you can see, I added offset of 2 seconds on the "Audio Interne" (the PCI card).



I checked with the command pactl list cards and I have this for the internal card :

And I tried to do pactl play-sample bell.ogg alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo. It always seems instantaneous. The latency I set doesn't seems to change anything, even when I play music.



What can I do?



EDIT



With pactl list sinks, I see this :



Latency: 2039815 usec, configured 40000 usec


So it seems the latency is set correctly but it seems to be instantaneous when I play a sound. I suppose there should be a delay. Is there something I don't understand?

      And I tried to do pactl play-sample bell.ogg alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo. It always seems instantaneous. The latency I set doesn't seems to change anything, even when I play music.



      What can I do?



      EDIT



      With pactl list sinks, I see this :



      Latency: 2039815 usec, configured 40000 usec


      So it seems the latency is set correctly but it seems to be instantaneous when I play a sound. I suppose there should be a delay. Is there something I don't understand?

      I have two speakers. The first one is connected to a PCI card and the second one via Bluetooth. Sounds are played a little bit earlier on the PCI card so I want to add some latency. I downloaded the pulse audio GUI and I have this :



      enter image description here



      As you can see, I added offset of 2 seconds on the "Audio Interne" (the PCI card).



      I checked with the command pactl list cards and I have this for the internal card :

          ASUS Zenbook UX433/UX333 — Configure Touchpad-embedded numpad on Linux

          Image
          0 1 I have an ASUS Zenbook UX433,on which ASUS decided to innovate by embedding a Numpad inside the touchpad (see picture 1). Toggling between classic touchpad mode and numpad (also turns the touchpad LEDs on) can be done through the golden button in the top-right corner of the touchpad. However, on my Manjaro arch Linux config, this behavior does not work by default and I can only use the touchpad, no numpad. Has anyone been able to configure the numpad to work on Linux, or have any idea how this could be achieved? EDIT1: I have had a look at the official Windows drivers for the UX433FA TouchPad, but was not able to make anything of it. I tried installing them on Linux using tools like NDISWrapper, but they do not detect the TouchPad/Numpad hardware, and my understanding of drivers is too limited.
