Hi Rafael,

For Intel HDA a tweak is often required to get good performance. See:

http://apps.linuxaudio.org/wiki/intel_hda_realtime_howto

Ignore the kernel recompile part, but note the issue with mixer capture
switches if using jackd in full duplex mode.

> Codec: Cirrus Logic CS4206

Try adding these options at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55 position_fix=1 enable=1 index=0

The mbp55 value for CS4206 is found near the end of:

http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt

Then reboot and see if JACK performance improves. You should be able to
get 64 frames/period x 3 periods/buffer @ 48KHz on this hardware.

Cheers!

Daniel
