Hello, I've tried to run 'arecord' as part of simultaneous playback + capture "rig" (for acoustic measurements) and noticed overruns. So, even plain single 'record' occasionally produces overruns: arecord -D hw:0,2,0 -c 2 -r 96000 -d 6 -f S32_LE recorded.wav Recording WAVE 'recorded.wav' : Signed 32 bit Little Endian, Rate 96000 Hz, Stereo overrun!!! (at least 855507586.521 ms long) . So, my question is: "Why ?". It's a 2.6Ghz machine with SATA disks. Two cores, web browsers are the most active tasks (nothing fancy, no sound activity on the side of the web browsers). Effectively one core is free. Any ideas ? The gear: Card: HDA NVidia Chip: Realtek ALC883 . Thanks, Sergei. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
