What type of sound card are you running?
If you are using RT kernel configure jack to run as RT mode as well also make sure that you set the your /etc/security/limits.conf file should have something similar to this:
the “nice” entry is not required. this is a mistake that has been propagated online by people who don’t know what they are talking about (not referring to you rpatros). its very unfortunate that it has spread so far and wide.
Paul thank you for the reply. I am still a newbie but still learning Ardour and, true the renice values should have no effect to this. The xruns I doubt are being caused by Ardour but rather Jack and the sound card in use.
i’ve already tryed it before, but i was using ubuntu “under” a windows XP installation. Now i don’t use it anymore (i’m full of windows…)
i had i a lot of headache working on this soundcard to work with ffado and jack. the tc electronic doesn’t give all the information to the ffado guys, so it’s a little bit complicated yet.
