<br></div><div>@Jordan, thanks for your clarification. I had read your post [1] on the nvidia forum before writing to this list. I've tried both methods for Debian/Ubuntu that <a href="https://devtalk.nvidia.com/member/1924456/">ulflj</a> wrote in that thread, but none worked out. I guess it's because I'm using an older kernel 3.8 low latency and 3.2.6 rt. <br>

Hi Marco,<br>
<br>
I recompiled a real time kernel for 13.04 following the
system<br>
configuration guide (in this case the italian translation
that reports<br>
"3.2.35-rt52").<br>
<a href="http://linuxaudio.it/index.php/Configurazione_di_sistemi_audio_GNU/Linux#Compilare_il_tuo_real-time_kernel" target="_blank">http://linuxaudio.it/index.php/Configurazione_di_sistemi_audio_GNU/Linux#Compilare_il_tuo_real-time_kernel</a><br>
<br>
I'm using an hp pavilion 6 laptop with the ua-25 ex
soundcard and with<br>
this particular real time Kernel everything works fine.<br>
1 xrun discovered at 5,8 ms latency in 3 hours session,
recording and<br>
mixing with Ardour.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
Nicola<br>

<div>Hi Nicola,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>thanks for sharing your experience. The process in that
tutorial is very similar to the one I followed from the
other tutorial in English. It's good to know it works
well, yet my problem is with the nvidia driver that needs
to be patched for -rt as well.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>thank you! <br>
</div>
</div>

Hi Marco,<br>
<br>
Fortunately, i've never used proprietary drivers since i use Linux
audio 'cause i always had intel video cards.<br>
Anyway, I'm interested in your issue and i will follow this thread,
hope you will solve this soon!<br>
<br>
