Hi, I was stupidly sure I was running a lowlatency kernel just because my /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency was set to 1. I used to start jack with something like $: jackd -R -d alsa -d opl3sa2 -r 44100 and I was surprised by the great number of xruns. Now I tried "jackstart" as root and... what? This kernel does not have capabilities enabled?! I read some posts by people who got lowlatency in their laptops only after enabling ACPI... Could this be true for some PC's too? Has anyone faced this inconvenience? I've completely disabled the Power Management support. My box: Pentium III katmai 192 MB Ram Sound Card Yamaha opl3sa2 hdparm -t /dev/hda -> 64MB in 4.21 secs = 15.21 MB/sec Debian woody + gcc3.2 + DeMuDi ALSA 0.9rc6 Kernel 2.4.20-ck2 (almost: it's a 2.4.20 vanilla with Con Koliva's lowlatency, preemtpible and arcangeli's VM patches) Can't think of anything relevant, any idea?
