Re: clicks in sound when running dual core

Hi Chris,

Yes, I do recall the debacle. But, as you say, that should have been worked around a long time ago already.

It would be interesting to know if anyone else has noticed anything similar?
For the moment I'm content running just one of the cores.. ;)

The symptom sounds rather like the infamous old AMD64 non-monotonic
clock resulting from clocks not being properly synchronised across
cores.  But I had thought that workarounds in the kernel, JACK, or
both had made this a non-issue for most systems installed in the last
couple of years.  (I am quite sure that a workaround dedicated to
solving specifically this problem was merged to JACK trunk quite a
number of releases ago, and any contemporary JACK release will have
it.)

This page: http://www.sound-man.co.uk/linuxaudio/kernel.html refers to
the problem.

I realise I'm not offering any solution here, just pointing out that
your problem sounds the same as this one.


Chris
