I'm running Debian woody (stable), homemade kernel 2.4.19 with lowlatency and capability patches, XFree86 4.1.0, GNOME 1.4 and ALSA 0.9.0rc7-2 with xinerama on a Matrox G400. Sound card is an M-Audio Delta 66 (very good card for the money). The first thing I'd suspect is the NVIDIA cards. Some models are reputed to have poor latency characteristics. Google for information on what the problems are and what to do. You may want to try building a low-latency kernel, too. Debian has a package for it that you can install and include in the kernel build with make-kpkg. If you're going to do all that, I'd recommend making the capability patch, also. It's only two lines, and it makes JACK far more usable. Regards, -- Jack O'Quin Austin, Texas, USA
