It suggests something is wrong with the bus and or interrupts but I don't see why it would be ok in playback only mode. Not sure if it is related but I have noticed that my old usb quattro often takes a while to warm up. Sometimes I have to run it for a few hours and start/stop jack several times to get undistorted output. Another issue is the Rockchip devs probably haven't tested the device at low latency with duplex mode so they haven't picked up that issue. We can try flagging it with them. I forgot what the audio chipset is. Can you post the output of cat /proc/asound/cards? -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
