Input Lag in games

    Thanks for this great program, I could filter the bass to the point that there are no more vibrations in my hearing position.
    I play a lot of games too and have a full 5.1 surroundset.
    My question is about added input lag, does this APO add any videolag?
    If so is the lag gone when I switch off the filters or must I deinstall the APO?

    Thank you

    The lag of Equalizer APO is very low. You can use filters without a noticable lag. And no filters means no lag (as far as I understand it).

    Most of Equalizer APO's filters have no inherent input lag. The Convolution filter can create lag depending on the used impulse response and the Delay filter will of course add lag as that's its sole purpose. You can see an estimation when you open the Configutation Editor and look at the latency/Latenz value in the analysis panel.

    Hello Jonas,

    thanx for the quick reply.
    i have a shown latency of 0.8ms for 3 peaking filters and one highpass.
    CPU usage is 0.4 on one core.
    Also I set my system with hdmi output to avr (second desktop) and displayport to screen.
    I deinstalled the APO for my main "gaming" screen as there is no sound anyway. It works.
    I can also force a lot lower bass (nubert nuvero 11) normally has a -3db at 32 hz.
    When copying the negative curve with a peaking filter I can force my avr to power that up to 25hz, then I cut the lower signals with a highpass, over Q factor I can nicely bend the curve that it negatively matches the factory speaker curve.

    I noticed the windows 10 problem when gain is over +6db, cracking noises over speaker, unless this is solved by MS, I use the preamplifier to get no more than 6db gain and let my avr do the work.

    This comes with a little more acoustic noises when hearing a test signal, for music I cannot notice a big difference.

    Greetings,

    Jonas
