Well, my trust in USB soundcards is virtually zero. Maybe realtime-preempt will help you, maybe the device is the limit, I dont know. You'll have to try. IIRC, the -multimedia kernel from DeMuDi does have some LL patches, but that is a wild guess since I dont actually use DeMuDi. If the -multimedia kernel does not have RP patched in, you'll have to patch a kernel with RP yourself to see if it helps. -- CYa, Mario
