It may sound obvious, but: did you checked that your are using the
"performance" governor for cpu frequency scaling?
I found that using the "ondemand" governor can cause more xruns...
I don't know mint but there should be a cpufreq-utils package that provides
relevant utilities for this.

Hey all,
I just switched to Mint Olivia 15 (based on Ubuntu Raring 13.04). I use
quite cpu-intensive puredata patches with processing of 2 live audio inputs
on a firewire soundcard through ffado and qjackctl (jack2).
Although my machine runs a low-latency kernel and it has been configured
for pro audio (I use the realtimeConfigurationScan script), I still get
xruns and sometimes qjackctl randomly hangs up making the sound to stop
completely.
Before, I used to work with ubuntu 10.04 and rt-kernel without a itch. Is
anybody still using a rt-kernel with the latest Mint or Ubuntu, or just
refining settings etc..?
if a rt-kernel is the best option, should I patch mine, since it looks
like there are no packaged rt-kernels for Raring?
Can't access Abogani ppa, and KXS kernels are available up to Precise.
thanks in advance for any hint, or suggestions about what to try!
best wishes,
