Hello Daniel and Luis - Yes i'm using the rtirq script; - I'm using the latest version of linuxsampler 1.0.0 (in Gentoo : from pro-audio overlay; in Ubuntu : not in the repositories so I compile it myself, after taking it on the linuxsampler website); same for libgig (dependency of linuxsampler); - I'll have a look at hwlat_detector; it seems not to be in the repositories in Ubuntu; i'll be searching; - regarding the logs of the USB, how can I do it please? I'm using an external USB sound card (a M-Audio Fast Track Pro); the keybord is connected to the card via midi.
