The first thing I notice using Ardour with sound inputs is that you hear everything that comes through your input channel. While this, in itself, is not a problem, it is not really necessary for my uses as the external interface that I use provides an analog monitor anyway. Furthermore, it becomes a problem when using my system, which seems to have an unavoidable amount of latency, causing a significant delay between sound input and when you hear it through the software. How do I disable software playthrough?

This option doesn’t exist in 5.12. Has it moved?
Yes, Ardour 5 added a side-bar and re-organized the preferences. It’s under
Preferences > Signal Flow
