I'm using the Delta 1010 cards on each system with Jack & Ardour.


Hello Kevin, thanks for the results!

Ok, that looks good, so it's about a Delta 1010 card which uses the snd_ice1712 kernel module.

cat /proc/interrupts
  16:      56322          0          0          0          0          0          0          0   IO-APIC-fasteoi   ahci, ehci_hcd:usb1, firewire_ohci, snd_ice1712, nvidia

There you go, looks kinda busy there. Looks a bit like the situation on my notebook:

16: 320312 30 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb3, mmc0, firewire_ohci, jmb38x_ms:slot0, eth1, nvidia

But I manage to use to run a FireWire audio card just fine on this notebook so there's still hope for your Delta 1010 ;)

Here it's sitting on it's own interrupt so it'll probably run fine

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

Nice, 4 cores and hyperthreading? Or really 8 cores? But the ondemand governor might be a culprit (I say *might*, I'm still not 100% sure in how far the ondemand scaling governor affects JACK's performance).

More information on tweaking your setup:

Excellent resource.  I was also going to try installing the CCRMA
RT kernel and any "accessories" it might require.


Then also install rtirq (or rtirq-init) and check the section in the Wiki on rtirq. Make sure you put snd_ice1712 in the list of softirqs that need to get prio. Put it first or second in the list. This will free it from the burden of having to share its hardware interrupt with all the other stuff. You could also try moving the Delta 1010 to another slot, if possible a slot with a free IRQ. that would be the best option.

Best,

Jeremy

Thanks much!
