So there are some 1 h more effort to be taken...
fast answers, no backgrounds:

1.) if the IRQ-script shall work, you must have your soundcard set
excluselively to an IRQ by using the BIOS-Setup, especially, if your
Sounddevice shares an IRQ with an active Harddrive, you will get xruns
even if you let Paul Davis himself set up you software for RT ;-)

2.) to make RG and MUSE happy, alsa-sequencer must be started:
:~$ sudo bash
password
:~# modprobe snd-seq
:~# echo snd-seq >> /etc/modules
:~# exit

3.) And rtc must:
        3.1.) belong to group audio (as yourself)
        3.2.) provide a usable resolution:
        
        Open a terminal and enter this:
                
                :~$ sudo bash
                        password
                :~# echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq

The latter is no issue, if you want that being set each time you start
the system, put a line like this into /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh (make sure
to have this on a new line and NOT between existing brackets...)

 echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq

If your card is on its own IRQ and you have applied the priority script
to that IRQ, xruns sould cease - if not, there is another problem to be
solved maybe someone else could help, yet I think, it can only be the
IRQ-Issue...

sorry for not pointing you to this stuff, I thought, you had found out
this already.
All this and more tutorials for tuning Ubuntu for Audio can be found here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation

you do not need to do everything, that is proposed here, just to start.
Once your card is set to its own IRQ situation should improve largely.
So you can tune your system further while having the fun to have it
basically working OK already ;-)

hope this helps, good luck :-)
