In Reply to: RE: Try these Audio Registry Changes in Windows posted by fmak on January 03, 2017 at 11:38:56
I don't have to make such arcane changes when using a high powered server used only for file access and FLAC decoding. The dedicated streamers are already optimized for audio playback.
I do, however, optimize priority for LMS (which also affects the FLAC processes) with a simple menu based option on the server. While running Task Manager, I select the LMS process, right click and set priority to "High".

How? On who's say so? What is the reasoning?
There is no such thing as optimisation in the engineering sense unless you know what you are 'optimising'.
How? On who's say so? What is the reasoning?
That would be my question for your suggesting to *optimize* the Clock Rate to "dword:00002710". Please explain the rationale for integer value 2710.
"Try these changes and see what you hear?" Are you shooting in the dark? What do you hear?
Since all of those registry values relate to server based audio tasks, they are irrelevant for me since mine doesn't do any audio processing. Do you understand that?
My change increases what is called the "nice" value on Unix based systems. It tells the scheduler to assign more CPU time to decompressing the files and sending them to the players. Empirically, CPU usage runs under 1% for all processes including a single audio stream. Increasing that to supply independent streams to two players runs barely over 1%.
Don't know about you, but I'd say that pretty much ensures virtually real time processing for those tasks. :)
You haven't laid down any basis for your 'optimisation', which has no subjective or objective target except for your say so. From your posting history, I don't believe you.
If you don't want to take part in what I suggested, that's fine and just butt out.
Clearly you are unable to explain the rationale behind your arcane registry edit suggestions. And still don't understand that my server doesn't do any audio processing - thus (at least for all the rest of us), realize there is no need for any such changes in my environment. Which is why I don't use a general purpose computer for playback in the main system.
Then you complain that I haven't laid out any basis for increasing the CPU's scheduling priority for the two LMS tasks! Time to look in the mirror. :)
Just hilarious.
care what your servers do. You did not explain your setup and responded obtusely to my post on something else.
Unless you can explain rationlly how your system is optimised and why it is optimal, you are just posting nonsense. Playing FLAC by itself is not optimal except for hardline ITrists.
You did not explain your setup
Try this, fmak. Click the "A" beside my name. Then follow to my system details. Just like everyone else does to find system details.
Unless you can explain rationlly how your system is optimised and why it is optimal, you are just posting nonsense.
Apparently, you don't understand operating systems. Understood.
Playing FLAC by itself is not optimal
According to exactly whom? Not that you will actually provide any substantiation for that assertion. You are incapable of explaining anything you'd posted. Naturally, none of us expect that you will answer any of the questions I've asked of you.
Clueless and surly.
decoding flac to memory so the whole track is available is optimal, then playback can be event driven with no extra processing.
If decoding flac during playback then there will need to be extra processes to do the decoding, extra buffers to hold the flac data and decoded data, data alignment issues between the decoded buffer and player buffer, checks to see if more data is required to be decoded etc
If it makes no difference then it's not an issue either way.

and it has no claim to being 'optimised' as you tried to assert.
I have been talking orange. If you want to talk Apple, this is your business.
According to exactly whom? [regarding FLAC]
Can you understand simple questions?
Do you know how to formulate an answer?
What is the basis of your belief?
Do you ever answer questions posed to you?
Is anyone home?
These are nonsensical questions. Just tell us why your system is 'optimised'.
but cannot force him to read - or understand and retain what he's already read.
Others here, however, experience no difficulty. :)
a falsehood seems to be the order of your posts, no assertions that have no basis.
I understand perfectly what E-Stat was talking about. You seem to have a comprehension issue, but we all knew that. ;-)
He already told you the what, how, and the reasoning. Try reading the post again, and pay attention this time.
As for your comment, " On who's say so? "
I don't think he needs anyone's 'say so'. Are you suggesting that he needs your permission?
that you have NO valid concept of audio, computers, and optimisation.
I asked him how and why he chose to state that his system is 'optimised'. Let him answer.
You are just trolling yet again. If you want to contribute, stick to what I said in my posts.
...but some folks enjoy hacking the registry and tweaking their computers to the brink of crashing.
Most of us don't need to. ;-)
I generally disable a handful of unneeded processes, give priority to my player, and let the OS scheduler do it's job. Not a problem for most reasonably capable modern computers.
...but some folks enjoy hacking the registry
I'm quite familiar with using REGEDIT, but mostly to strip superfluous programs from spawning at boot.
