Unfortunately the only sound device I have available at this time is the built-in on-board sound. Alsamixer reports it as "card: HDA Intel PCH, Chip: Realtech ALC892." Apparently my Rolland OctaCapture isn't supported at present, or I would be using that. > Hello Kevin, Using the onboard sound shouldn't be an issue. > Currently my Jack-2 settings are: –realtime –timeout=4500 –no-m_lock -d alsa –device=HW:0 –rate=44100 –period=256 –dither=shaped midi=none. I haven't had a chance to try larger latency yet, but I could do that once I'm playing back sequences. > Try removing the --no-m_lock setting. You also don't need a --dither setting, afaik you only need this in very specific usercases. > Is there any reason to do anything with "nice" on either A2J or anything else? I think I have most of the recommended optimizations for audio done, except for the rt kernel, but just wondered about nice, since I've seen it used, but don't see any recommendations about it. > From the JACK FAQ page "How do I configure my linux system to allow JACK to use realtime scheduling?"
