What kind of disk drives? Adaptec SCSI controllers can give you problems with xruns. If IDE, did you tune your hard drives? Are you using a separate hard drive for audio data? How much memory? Is your sound card sharing the interrupt? Did you try adjusting PCI latencies? I'm running: Athlon 1700 Nvidia TNT ST Audio C-Port DSP 2000 (envy24) 512MB PC133 ATA 133 7200RPM IDE Via KT something or other mobo (I don't remember which) 2.4.26-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrma ALSA 1.0.4 latest Ardour, JACK, JAMin I run everything as root. No xrun problems. I doubt that there is anything wrong with the card you bought. It's probably system configuration.
