An answer to this question doesn't help you very much, since the combination of hardware is full of pitfalls. It's possible that you can't get rid of xruns, even if minimal DSP load is reported, what ever latency you chose, while the card doesn't share an IRQ. Seemingly the combination of CPU + mobo + amount of RAM + audio card and even the revision of the boards might be important. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
