Which kernel are you booting? ("uname -r" to find out). Fedora 8 should

It may be a problem in the particular Audigy alsa driver you have to use
for your card...

If you need to
use 2.6.26.x there is no fix available (AFAIK). MIDI i/o
from external devices in the alsa sequencer is broken. I got a partial
solution that gets midi input going but the internal timer in the alsa
sequencer is broken anyway.
What to do depends on which Fedora you are running, if < 9 then you
could use the older 2.6.24.x rt kernel, if on 9 or 10 there is nothing
you can do until some kernel guru steps in and fixes the problem
(2.6.24.x is too old for the X server that runs on Fedora 9 - if you try
you will get X segfaults every once in a while and your session will
just die).
I have had good enough results running the stock Fedora kernel on Fedora
9. Make sure that jackd is running with realtime priority...
Sorry to not have better news.
I am using F8 but am thinking about using F10. Fernando, do you think
that it would be a good idea to use F10 instead of F8 for the problem
I am having?
