I just noticed this on my Fedora 17 system. I run jackd like this: [paul@watt ~]$ /usr/bin/jackd --realtime -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p512 -n2 jackdmp 1.9.9.5 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others.

I've been away from Linux audio for a while, but doesn't realtime mode mean RT scheduling? If I check the process's scheduler policy and priority, it is NOT RT: [paul@watt ~]$ ps -p 20370 -o cmd,class,pri,rtprio CMD CLS PRI RTPRIO /usr/bin/jackd --realtime - TS 19 - I've added myself to the jackuser group: [paul@watt ~]$ groups paul wheel dialout wireshark jackuser That group is already set up properly: [paul@watt ~]$ cat /etc/security/limits.d/95-jack.conf # Default limits for users of jack-audio-connection-kit @jackuser - rtprio 70 @jackuser - memlock 4194304 @pulse-rt - rtprio 20 @pulse-rt - nice -20 Anyone have any idea what's going on here? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
