JamesDSP crashing all the time

Ask Fedora
1

Hi. Sound is not great on a macbook compared to macOS. I improved it a lot thanks to JamesDSP. But JamesDSP crashes every time a song switches so really often. Its a known issue but on their github thread, they just mention:

  • The processing thread of the app may have exceeded the maximum amount of CPU time allowed for a real-time thread on your system.
  • To fix: install the realtime-priorities package, add your user to the realtime group, and re-login. (see issue #155)

But there is no such package on Fedora. I have been told Fedora is already on realtime anyway. I cant find a fix for this (and dont know if this solution would work anyway).

So:

  • Is there a solution to JamesDSP crashing all the time ?
  • Is there an alternative to JamesDSP ? According to the store, not really, and I absolutely dont understand easyeffects (not an equalizer ?)
  • Could I just use a tool or command to force JamesDSP to restart as soon as it crashes or is it a bad idea ? If possible, how ?

Thanks !
