I can get 11ms without issues or 5ms (sometimes even less when the setup
is simple) with this card. But on some distros I had to disable my
ethernet adapter. Are you sure you don't have some heavy process or
server running?
Also, I load the realtime module with the parameter any=1. I know this
could be less stable, but its worth if you need to record your music
without interruptions and with a low latency.

p.s. Please guys help me with my UA-20. :-(

ignore all this and use the realtime LSM until the
distros get it sorted out. It's insane to expect normal users to
modify /etc/security/limits.conf and understand PAM.
OK, I have the RT-LSM installed, but I'd like to improve the latency of
my system. Any hints where to start tweaking the system?
Unfortunately, the patches of ingo produce a kernel which doesn't boot
on my machine, regardless that I codpied the .config from the vanilla
2.6.14.2.
I thought it needs tweaking PAM, but as I understand you correctly, PAM
only deals with permissions which I already achieved via RT-LSM.
I set
HZ_1000 [=y]
and
(X) Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)
in my kernel config, but I "only" get latencies around 16 msecs and
still some glitches from time to time.
Are there further tricks on a standard kernel I could try to improve
latency?
Thanks & best regards
