I've downloaded, and installed kernel 2.6.21rt4, 2.6.21.5rt18, and rtirq, but am still getting xruns when starting jackd in qjackctl. An xrun about every 3 secs, and that's with no music apps being used. Is there anything else I need to do to get zero xruns when starting jackd? Do I need to edit /etc/security/limits.conf for example, as I had to do for Fedora 7? As default this file has everything commented out in Etch, but this file in Fedora 7 already had some lines for jack-audio-connection-kit set up as default, but only with a rtprio of 20. The updated pam that came down when installing the planetccrma low latency kernel, left a limits.conf.rpmnew with higher priorities. I added these to the existing limits.conf file, commenting out the defaults, and now when starting jack on Fedora 7, I have zero xruns. I still get the odd xrun when running a music app, but nothing when jack is started with no music apps being used. I've put a bit of jack's messages output below. 23:41:07.577 Audio connection change. 23:41:07.585 Audio connection graph change. delay of 26942.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 11397.000; restart ... 23:41:09.026 XRUN callback (1). delay of 65588.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 11397.000; restart ... delay of 12403.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 11397.000; restart ... 23:41:09.632 XRUN callback (2 skipped). delay of 20107.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 11349.000; restart ... **** alsa_pcm: xrun of at least 0.044 msecs 23:41:12.320 XRUN callback (4). 23:41:13.728 XRUN callback (1 skipped). delay of 70451.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 11326.000; restart ... 23:41:14.276 XRUN callback (6). delay of 66210.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 11417.000; restart ... 23:41:19.406 XRUN callback (7). delay of 66172.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 11330.000; restart ... 23:41:24.513 XRUN callback (8). 23:41:29.614 XRUN callback (9). delay of 69610.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 11400.000; restart ... 23:41:34.724 XRUN callback (10). delay of 69546.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 11390.000; restart ... 23:41:37.612 Client deactivated. 23:41:37.650 JACK is stopping... jack main caught signal 15 no message buffer overruns 23:41:37.736 JACK was stopped successfully.
