it's more a case of 'endless iterative tweaking'<br>

I for one have had issues with xruns since upgrading Jack and Ubuntu
(I know, don't say it)<br>
and certain apps cause xruns in differing amounts<br>
Yoshimi is unusable VLC still a problem, while Ardour, Phasex and Pd
seem less problematic<br>
haven't tested all my audio apps on my laptop but...<br>
<br>
I have spent way, way too much time tweaking<br>
/etc/security/limits.conf && /etc/security/audio.conf<br>
plus messing around with the priority/frames settings in Jack <br>
this is not a 'set and forget' sort of thing (for me at least)<br>
since params live in multiple places and are non-orthogonal - it's
been like playing whack-a-mole <br>
<br>
there are some docs online which walk one through the process of
optimizing a system for audio and setting up Jack but so far I'm
still not able to arrive at a combination of settings that bring my
system to xruns=0<br>
