Hello Everyone I have used Linux for a couple years now, but have recently decided to start using it for audio work. As a result, in terms of real professional Linux audio, I am a newbie. My current setup includes a dual AMD MP 2800 box with an M Audio Delta 44 sound card. I am running SuSE 9.1, and installed Jack and Ardour. However, I need to get a low latency kernel going. Even when I run Jack and Ardour as root, I still get a noticeable delay in the audio when I try to record from a mic and monitor what I'm recording through one of the outputs on my sound card. So, how exactly do I go about optimizing a kernel for audio, especially on SuSE? Does SuSE have a precompiled one available, or is it best to just compile it on my own? I've Googled around a bit, and checked SuSE's documentation on recompiling a kernel, but haven't had much luck. The last time I tried recompiling a SuSE kernel I trashed the whole system... Thanks for any info, I can't wait to start getting into Ardour more... Ben
