Hi all,
I have a soundblaster live.
I also am using debian/demudi and have a dual PIII 500 mhz.
I am looking for hints on how to optimize my card with alsa and jack
etc.
I once had found on the alsa site example of .asoundrc tailored for
the sblive but now on searching I don't see such an animal.
I want to use skype or a voice over ip in additon to audio processing.
I find that with my setup I get clicks where I can't hear the other
person.
I am doing some mixes where I need as much umph from my system as
possible and especially my sound card. I see that when I check my
irq's my sound card is:
theone:/home/aamehl# cat /proc/interrupts

153 and most of the other devices are not addon cards but part of the
mother board. I can't move my video card and the ethernet is onboard.
Is all lost or can I give more priority to the sblive?
Any other suggestions are welcome as far as squezzing performance out
of my 128megs rams.
Thanks
Aaron
