Hello joep,
What type of soundcard are you using? And what are your current JACK
settings? These settings are stored in your home folder, in the C
file, could you post the content of that file?
Best,
Jeremy

Jere,y,
Thanks for your speedy reply.
I use the build-in sound card which is advertised as
the NVIDIA MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S High Definition Audio.
I know I should buy a more sophisticated card but boards like the
Terratec DMX6fire24/96 or M-Audio Delta 410 have prices here in Holland
which are way over the prices you pay (€189,00 is the cheapest).
Moreover I use it to edit using headphones as audio output for computers
is, in my opinion very bad or you use a pair of studio monitors (I use
Yamaha 60 W as output boxes for my E-piano for use in small rooms. As
I'm a jazz-pianist and people prefer to listen so you don't need
decibels to go over crowd noise!). But those are expensive.
My jack settings are:
/usr/bin/jackd -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p1024 -n2.
I hope you can help me out.
Joep
Hello Joep,
The cards you mention are fairly old, their modern counterparts are more
affordable and cheaper in shops like Feedback (or Thomann if you prefer
buying on the internet).
The onboard card should work properly with those JACK settings. Maybe it
helps to disable CPU frequency scaling (the ondemand service) or to set
it to 'Performance" with the help of the CPU Frequency Scaling panel
applet for Gnome (assuming you're using Gnome).
Groet,
Jeremy
