Ok, your machine, but the reply was for someone else. No matter you do say
irqs did change which is what I was saying.

What I am says though is that I'm not sure these problems are kernel
problems. They may be kernel module problems or something else. I have
used all of these kernel versions and been able to run low latency on all
of them no problems (ICE1712 based card). Other people on this list have
had no problems too. Yet there is not just one person with this same
problem. We (on this list) might do well to explore the differences
between our hardware/software to see if we can find the problem.
