On my side I didn't succeed to run without distortion (but no xruns strangely!!) with jack 103 or without xruns (with jackdmp) at lower frames, i.e. 64 samples. It's weird because I can easily run at 64 samples under WinXP under heavy cpu load... I have an Echo Mia first generation BTW coupled with an Athlon XP 3800+ dual-core on a Gigabyte K8U-939 (Uli chipset). To go back to your situation, I do not know what to suggest and I hope your problem will be solved soon. -- Patrice Brousseau bpatrice@xxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
