! If the buffer size is made large, drops in audio data (breaks in the
sound) occur less easily, but the time lag due to the delay in the
transfer of the audio data (latency) increases.
! If the kernel buffer number is made large, breaks in the sound occur
less easily, but the time lag due to latency increases.
! Operate referring to the procedure below to adjust the buffer size and
kernel buffer.
If there are no interruptions in the sound with the
default settings
1 Gradually decrease the buffer size, setting it to the minimum
value at which there are no interruptions in the sound.

ruptions in the sound.
