hi, i have the audigy1 and i get the same problem when i the close the ardour session or with some plugins in ardour or when i use jamin with a little -p value. i have to restart jack to stop the crakling noise. it's strange because this crakling noise is just in the playback not in the record (no crakling noise inside)... i think that the problem is some xruns but jackd don't say that.. if i shutdown some services like sensord and using a light desktop manager (wmaker) i doesn't ear any crakling noise.... excuse me for my poor english!! cheers, jul Le Vendredi 25 Mars 2005 16:51, Christophe Vescovi a ?crit?: > Esa Linna a ?crit : > > Although I am satisfied with multitrack recording using Audacity w/ > > OSS, I would like to give a try to Ardour, Rosegarden and Muse. > > > > I have succeed to record some short multitrack songs, but after a few > > minutes comes a crackling noise on top of the sound. > > > > My system has multimedia kernel (2.6.10-1.mm.21 ), distro is Mandrake > > 10.1, 512 mb of RAM.
