Hi list,
I just re-installed my system partition with an kubuntu+kxstudio
repositories and I get some xruns in Jack2. I am trying to figure out
how to optimize my system configuration.
realtimeconfigquickscan gives me this:
== GUI-enabled checks ==
Checking if you are root... no - good
Checking filesystem 'noatime' parameter... 4.17.7 kernel - good
(relatime is default since 2.6.30)
Checking CPU Governors... CPU 0: 'performance' CPU 1: 'performance' CPU
2: 'performance' CPU 3: 'performance' CPU 4: 'performance' CPU 5:
'performance' CPU 6: 'performance' CPU 7: 'performance' - good
Checking swappiness... 10 - good
Checking for resource-intensive background processes... none found - good
Checking checking sysctl inotify max_user_watches... >= 524288 - good
Checking access to the high precision event timer... readable - good
Checking access to the real-time clock... readable - good
Checking whether you're in the 'audio' group... yes - good
Checking for multiple 'audio' groups... no - good
Checking the ability to prioritize processes with chrt... yes - good
Checking kernel support for high resolution timers... found - good
Kernel with Real-Time Preemption... not found - not good
Kernel without real-time capabilities found
For more information, see
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration#installing_a_real-time_kernel
Checking if kernel system timer is high-resolution... found - good
Checking kernel support for tickless timer... found - good
== Other checks ==
Checking filesystem types... ok.
not found.
** Warning: no tmpfs partition mounted on /tmp
For more information, see:
- http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration#tmpfs
- http://lowlatency.linuxaudio.org
** Set $SOUND_CARD_IRQ to the IRQ of your soundcard to enable more checks.
Find your sound card's IRQ by looking at '/proc/interrupts' and lspci.

ok, so I'm looking at lspci:

--------------
My guess is that IRQ 32 and 33 are the internal sound card, maybe one of
them is the one that is serving the HDMI and the other one the headphone
jack.
Furthermore it looks like IRQ 16, 23 and 24 are USB controllers and on
one of them might be the external soundcard since it is connected via USB..
Which number do I need to assign to the SOUND_CARD_IRQ variable? I
assume it's an environment variable to be set like
"SOUND_CARD_IRQ=23"
in the terminal for realtimeconfigquickscan. However, even after setting
the variable realtimeconfigquickscan still gives me the info that I
should set the variable.
Is this IRQ business still something I need to worry about? (since most
info about it on the interwebs is from 2000 and prior).
Please advise
Thank you.
m.
