Low latency with 2.6.16.16 vanilla

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, I want to try what Lee mentioned a couple of times recently: Low latency 
audio performance with 2.6 mainline -- no mingo-patch, no rt-lsm (athlon xp 
2600+, asus a7v8x-x, hdsp. On a 2.4.26 with lck patches this system has good 
lowlat performance, solid jackd with -p 64 -n 2, so the hardware should be 
ok. Ah well, looong dropouts on deep reiserfs walks that never show up in 
jackd's messages but that's hopefully another story).

Got 2.6.16.16 from kernel.org. If I understood Lee right I could expect a 
jackd with -p 64 -n 2 to work just fine but it doesn't. Loads of xruns. What 
am I missing? What can I do to find out?

With make oldconfig I come across some questions I'm unsure about. Are these 
answers right? Thanks in advance.
