Hello Joe,
thanks for your quick reply.

Unfortunately, that does not cover my issues. This is about hardware not
showing up at all. I had to solve those and I t5hink I might have used
the info on your site to help with that.
The challenges I encounter now, appear to have more to do with some kind
of CPU hogging. The combination of syn'ced cards (something on the ALSA
driver level?) and JACK appears to grasp resources. Maybe there is no
time to react to other hardware IRQs?
Best wishes,

Hey hey,
I have two M-Audio Delta 1010LT cards, sync'ed via S/PDIF. Two ALSA devices
were created to sum the inputs and outputs respectively.
On top of that JACK is running. Now, I noticed that it is a decision between
two problems that I face: if they are correctly sync'ed, some system services
regularly freeze. This includes the networ, the Braille display (connected via
USB). If, as has happened before, the setup isn't remembered correctly and the
S/PDIF sync is not made, occasionally the cards begin to have input problems.
The sound suddenly degrades with an effect like bad resampling (decimation
effect).
I have had these cards running for a long time in this constellation, but only
in the past few years these problems cropped up. I have changed the distro
from Debian to Arch Linux. On Arch I have tested the system for realtime
operation several times, using the realTimeConfigQuickScan script.
Could this be a kernel issues? Some ALSA update? Or a question of the kernel
patches that one is running? I am running the following two kernels now:
5.6.19-rt12-1-rt
or
5.8.14-arch1-1
The last time I ran Debian it was on a 2.6.3x kernel, IIRC.
Any suggestions, apart from don't use your cards at once, would be very much
appreciated. :)
Best wishes,
Jeanette
