Hi all,
I'm trying to set up my Phonic Helix Board 24 on Fedora 10. I've added
the CCRMA repository but I'm *not* running a CCMRA kernel. I have just
used this repository to install ffado and jack.
[jonathan@poseidon ~]$ uname -r
2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686.PAE
[jonathan@poseidon ~]$ rpm -q ffado
ffado-2.0-0.6.rc1.fc10.ccrma.i386
Starting jack gives the output below. Running as root gives exactly the
same output. I've made sure that all users have read/write permissions on
the firewire port (chmod a+rw /dev/fw*)
I'm a fairly experienced Linux user but I know very little about audio
on Linux. Can anyone shed any light on this? I had the same Phonic device
working on Fedora 8 some time ago but that computer is now a distant
memory...
Any help will be gratefully accepted!
Thanks,
Jonathan
[jonathan@poseidon ~]$ jackd -d firewire
Run jackd in realtime mode.

Is his kernel even a real-time kernel? I don't get that from the uname
output...
What I mean is:
jackd -R -d firewire
That doesn't require a RT kernel. Don't expect FFADO to work properly when
jack doesn't run in realtime mode (-R). The same applies for ALSA or other
backends btw, but FFADO is particularly sensitive.
Greets,
Pieter
Right, and OP should not expect zero xruns if he isn't using a real-time kernel.
There is a real rash lately of users trying to do real-time work
without a real-time kernel. For some reason they put Jack support in
MythTV and I've seen a couple of people there in the last few weeks
that weren't even aware that there was a real-time kernel, much less
actually using it, and they were complaining of xruns.
