Re: [LAU] Horrible number of xruns in Jack (Emu card)

I got the same processor running 64-bit debian sid running jack at 44.1khz, 64 sample buffer on Audiophile 2496 soundcard with no xruns.
Are you running realtime kernel with realtime box checked in qjackctl/settings
(or with -R option on command line)?
(I got 4GB dual-channel RAM and 2 SATA DRIVES...)
My kernel: 2.6.23.11-rt14 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Wed Dec 26 08:47:49 EST 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thank
you
for
any
help.

I
talked
to
my
programming
prof
about
this,
and
he
thinks
the
fact
that
I'm
using
a
64-bit
OS
might
have
a
lot
to
do
with
it.
I'll
try
installing
the
32-bit
version
of
Ubuntu
Studio
at
some
point
this
week
and
see
if
that
changes
anything
(I
keep
all
of
my
data
on
a
separate
partition,
so
it's
not
a
huge
operation
for
me).
