Hi list,
https://www.rncbc.org/drupal/user/register did not load, so I hope it's
okay to ask here.
Performance of my audio system somehow degraded so I tried to find the
culprit.
/etc/default/rtirq looks liks this:
# IRQ thread service names
# (space separated list, from higher to lower priority).
RTIRQ_NAME_LIST="snd usb i8042"
# Highest priority.
RTIRQ_PRIO_HIGH=90
# Priority decrease step.
RTIRQ_PRIO_DECR=5
# Lowest priority.
RTIRQ_PRIO_LOW=51
# Whether to reset all IRQ threads to SCHED_OTHER.
RTIRQ_RESET_ALL=0
# On kernel configurations that support it,
# which services should be NOT threaded
# (space separated list).
RTIRQ_NON_THREADED="rtc snd"
but even so,
$ /etc/init.d/rtirq status
PID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND
595 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/34-mei_me
634 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/36-iwlwifi
730 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/39-rmi4_smb

48 TS - 0 19 0.0 S ksoftirqd/6
54 TS - 0 19 0.0 S ksoftirqd/7
I was expecting to see snd and usb on this list or am I mistaken?
m.
They say that doing the same thing repeatedly, while expecting
a different result, is a sign of madness.
I've been trying to discover why my MOTU Ultralite AVB doesn't
work on Linux Mint 19.3 (5.3.0-40-generic) and see the following
in /var/log/syslog, which confirms, a total of 240 times, that:
"usb 1-14: clock source 1 is not valid"
I'm trying to dual boot. (Kernel 'thinks' my gaming wheel is a
mouse, so I had to make a udev rule for that.) and the MOTU is
usually synced to an external optical source at 48kHz. The boot
process appears to switch it to 192kHz briefly and then to 44.1k
which isn't going to be a good source because it's 48kHz.
Anyone using a MOTU with a modern Linux ubuntu flavour could help?
Relevant part of syslog below sig separator.

Thanks in advance.

Hi list,
another general linux audio question:
I've been using realtimeconfigquickscan [1] for years to tweak systems
for better audio. Lately I wonder if the suggestions it gives are all
still valid and up-to-date with current operating system defaults, SSD
memory, etc.
Anyone else using this script and what are your observations?
For reference my output looks like this:
$ perl realTimeConfigQuickScan.pl
== GUI-enabled checks ==
Checking if you are root... no - good
Checking filesystem 'noatime' parameter... 5.3.18 kernel - good
(relatime is default since 2.6.30)
Checking CPU Governors... CPU 0: 'performance' CPU 1: 'performance' CPU
2: 'performance' CPU 3: 'performance' CPU 4: 'performance' CPU 5:
'performance' CPU 6: 'performance' CPU 7: 'performance' - good
Checking swappiness... 10 - good
Checking for resource-intensive background processes... none found - good
Checking checking sysctl inotify max_user_watches... >= 524288 - good
Checking access to the high precision event timer... readable - good
Checking access to the real-time clock... readable - good
Checking whether you're in the 'audio' group... yes - good
Checking for multiple 'audio' groups... no - good
Checking the ability to prioritize processes with chrt... yes - good
Checking kernel support for high resolution timers... found - good
Kernel with Real-Time Preemption... not found - not good
Kernel without real-time capabilities found
For more information, see
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/system_configuration#installing_a_real-time…
Checking if kernel system timer is high-resolution... found - good
Checking kernel support for tickless timer... found - good
== Other checks ==
Checking filesystem types... ok.
I use a lowelatency kernel, not a rt-kernel hence the "not good" there.

I'm a bit concerned that this is going to be just about the expected peak of the
Covid-19 infections. I hope we are still good to go.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hi Fons, list,
Building zita-dpl1 on Debian, as there is no Debian package available,
and it failed with
/usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:39:10: fatal error: ft2build.h: No such file or directory
similar to this Debian package bug
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=916130
Had to change the line
zita-dpl1: CPPFLAGS += $(shell pkgconf --cflags freetype2)
to
zita-dpl1: CPPFLAGS += $(shell pkg-config --cflags xft)
in the Makefile to make it work. Thought I'd report this here.
best, P
Hi list,
the vmpk virtual screen midi keyboad refuses to start as it does not
find its default midi drivers, exiting after throwing
Default MIDI IN driver "Network" not found
Default MIDI OUT driver "SonivoxEAS" not found
Unable to initialize all MIDI drivers. Terminating.
There seems to be no way to set these via flags or config file.
Trying the more recent vmpk application image from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmpk/files/vmpk/0.7.2/vmpk-0.7.2-linux-x86…
fails as it sees to require pulse audio(?).
Does anyone have an idead about the above problem or can suggest an
alternative software midi keyboard? Thank you so much! P
