Hi Louigi,

With the JACK settings you're using this probably won't make a
difference. If you go really low latency-wise you might run into issues.

Disabling scaling, so setting a governor that doesn't change the CPU
freq, should yield better results, no matter which governor this is.

There should be a radio button on your keyboard linked to a Fn key to
disable WiFi. Otherwise you could try unloading the kernel modules
loaded by the WiFi interface or even unbinding them. But I don't think
this is your issue either. Could you pastebin the output of some commands?

cat /proc/interrupts
sudo lspci -v
sudo lsusb -v
cat /etc/default/rtirq
uname -a

Thanks!
