"Disabling the irqbalance daemon
This daemon is enabled by default and periodically forces interrupts to
be handled by CPUs in an even, fair manner. However in realtime
deployments, applications are typically dedicated and bound to specific
CPUs, so the irqbalance daemon is not required." - https://access.redhat

Is there some way how to disable it on starting jack and enable on quilt jack?
I already using scripts for running PA via jack ...
But here it looks like you need root to switch it off :(

No, as already pointed out, if you should use a kernel without the rt
patch, you need to add "threadirqs" to the boot options.
 
Great fixed!

You are giving snd_hda_ the highest prio. Don't do it. It much likely is
an onboard device you aren't using for real-time audio.

You are giving i8042 real-time priority, don't give keyboard and mouse
this priority.

Simply edit /etc/conf.d/rtirq RTIRQ_NAME_LIST to:

RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="usb"

After that don't restart rtirq, restart the computer.

Ok ... BTW what is rtc?
There was RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="rtc snd usb i8042"
And onemore question here ...
I have also PCIe RME card which I would like to use sometimes ... any chance to give high priority to it?
 
irq/16, irq/23, irq/17 and irq/18 share IRQs, so consider to use the
ehci (USB2) port using IRQ 19. Avoid using uhci (USB1) or the ehci
(USB2) port hat shares the IRQ.

I have only 3x USB ports on my laptop :( it confuse me a bit.
Anyway how can I recognize which one is which?

best regards
