I'm using Soundwire program to stream sound from PC to my Android Phone, but I'm experiencing a lot of dropouts on low audio buffer size (8-16k) when watching YouTube.
On 32k dropouts dissapear, but then latency is too large and it's simply not syncing with what I see on the screen.
The thing is, that on Windows 7 / 10 there were no dropouts on identical configuration,
even on 8k, they appeared occasionally only when I was downloading something.
Regarding to dropouts, author says:
If you experience audio dropouts caused by poor server performance or when running
other applications we recommend using nice level -19, e.g.
/bin/nice --19 ./SoundWireServer
This will probably require root privilege. Should show up as level -19 in 'top'.
And I've got no idea what does he means by nice level -19, or the bin folder.. I'm totally new to Linux, I downloaded the program, unpacked it, installed packages that were required and now I launch it from the desktop, it's just one file called SoundWireServer.
