s_mixPreStep
Pre-build buffer step time in seconds, used with s_mixahead for smooth audio mixing. On modern systems, match this closely to s_mixahead (e.g., 0.02–0.03) for minimal latency while maintaining stability.
💡
Pro Tip
Match it exactly to your s_mixahead value (0.02 or 0.03) — this combo gives the absolute lowest possible audio latency while staying perfectly stable.
