Re: real time audio and graphic/ interrupt tweaks?

Hi again,

thanks for your answers!!

As the computer is a netbook it has only 2 usb ports both on bus 2 and this shares the interrupt with the graphics (intel controller), is there a way to alter these interrupt settings? What are the other 3 busses "lsusb" gives me if I have only 2 physical ports both on bus 2?

Thanks again!
Martin

Well, if the OP has an Intel chipset - practically everything could be
sharing an interrupt with the graphics. ;-)

More important to know which internal HUB the laptop's USB ports are
hooked to. My Toshiba laptop has 3 USB ports but only 2 USB internal
hubs ...

I had similar-sounding problems with my UCA202 USB sound card when I was
running it as USB device #7 on a powered external 7-port USB2 hub.
Problem went away when I hooked it directly to a port on the laptop.
