Re: [LAU] pops & clicks

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll try to answer these questions...

> I assume you are using freebob and not ffado.

Yes.

> Some things to check:
> * are you running jackd with the realtime flag?

Yes, 'realtime' is ticked in the qjackctl settings.

> * do you alleviate the priority of the ohci1394 interrupt above other
interrupt sources? (e.g. with the rtirq)

No. I tried messing with IRQ priorities a couple of days back, but I
didn't really know what I was doing and the only thing that happened was
the menu bars on my desktop would disappear randomly when I started jack,
I've reinstalled Ubuntu since then. Do you think it would help if I
installed rtirq?

> * does dmesg show anything special regarding 1394?

$ dmesg|grep 1394

Normally I just start jackd with qjackctl. Just now I tried starting it in
the terminal with:

$ jackd -R -d freebob -n3

and it didn't make any difference to the sound.

I don't know if any of that is interesting...

Cheers,
Katie.
