I'm having no luck getting low latency with a 2.6 kernel. I'm using the mm4 patches and have modified the capabilities.h file. I have this entered into fstab: shmfs /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /tmp/jack tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /mnt/ramfs tmpfs defaults 0 0 and compiled jack with: ./configure --with-default-tmpdir=/mnt/ramfs --enable-capabilities --enable-realtime I want to use ardour so that was just a staight ./configure && make To run jack I go jackstart -R -v -d alsa -d hw:0 -p 8192 My problem is that I get **** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least xx.xxx msecs all the time. I even get it when no audio programs are going. On the 2.4.2 I can get jack to run with no -p options at all and it runs perfectly, hence my anguish. Cheers for any help. This is pretty much all the stuff I've done so throw me ANY hints. James Stone wrote: >On Sun, Jan 18, 2004 at 11:20:32PM +0000, Glenn McCord wrote: > > >>That link is useful.
