You might have your settings for the maximum value set too low. What does the following show: $ cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq On older kernels that should be: $ cat /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq Also relevant: $ cat /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq You can set these values like this: $ sudo echo 2048 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq $ sudo echo 2048 > /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq or set them in /etc/sysctl.conf HTH Ralf Mattes _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
