I run MusE 0.6.3 always with -R. Is jack perhaps not started with -R ? > (it's pretty much a requirement there too) Yep.. its 0.6.3 and jack is run through qjackctl with realtime option. Muse is compiled with rtcap so it is not suid (thought it was safer..) but if I do change it to suid and then start with -R, it starts okay with no error messages...?? Maybe rtcap does not enable enough realtime capabilities!!? Any hints? James
