JACK saw the external sound card, but no sound came from it. And the system didn't see the laptop's built-in Intel sound hardware, either - so no sound there. So it's back to ACPI on and 64msec latency. Probably the best I can get without a RT kernel. When I tried this using the Music 2 beta DVD, which runs a RT kernel, I got sound but any latency setting below 64msec contributed overruns to the experience of playing Zyn. -- David gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx authenticity, honesty, community _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
