I'm using waveform with opensuse linux and jack and getting a lot of Xruns and noticeable sound dropouts with version 12. Version 11 can play it flawlessly (without the experimental audio engine).

So nobody has this problem, or an idea?

I haven't such issue on my openSUSE TW. Do you have a pulseaudio or pipewire running?

Post

Thank you very much for trying. Yes i have audio when jack is not running. I honestly can't tell if it's pulse or pipewire - both are installed. Qjackctl stops pulse when running with pulseaudio -k.

I use it daily with ALSA, and sometimes with JACK.
So it would be useful to provide full info about your setup:
what audio system and parameters are set in WF and how audio is set in the OS

If you're on a laptop make sure you set the desktop power setting to performance mode.
Ryzen 5 8600G, 32GB DDR5, 4K, Ubuntu 26.04, Waveform Pro 13.5, Reaper 7, Ardour 9.

Good guess, but it´s a desktop pc, power setting is normaly not set to performance. Indeed cpupower frequency-set -g performance doesn´t prevent from dropouts or change anything detectable.

So more specs:
Opensuse Tumbleweed with kde, Kernel 5.18.4.1
Hardware 4x Intel Core 5-3350 CPU @ 3.10
Nvidia GeForce GTX 650, with Nvidia Driver 470.129.06-54.1
(using inside Waveform Software Render for gui)
Audio:
Focusrite Scarlet 2i4 (2.nd gen) USB Audio Device
Jack with Qjacktl: 44100 khz, 256 Frames, 2 Puffer
