[linux-audio-user] Re: The famous "Jack Hum" (Can't record and desparate)

The high load thing worked; I noticed that the singing disappeared when I started programs, moved some windows, etc. So I posted "Singing Capacitor Fix wanted" and discribed I wanted a load generator. Karsten supplied me with this: --QUOTE-- A simple load generator with low scheduling priority: echo 'for ((;1;)); do i=0; done;'|nice -n 19 sh -- -- This works like daisy. I included it in QJackCtl and it works like a charm. No performance penalty, and the noise is completely gone. Of course there might be heat issues to deal with, but they can be solved seperately. Now I need to test with my Roland Edirol card, this was using the Alsa driver. Will keep you guys posted. Carlo
