I could run Ubuntu 9.04 with my quad-core AMD64 machine, but a couple of
weeks ago I noticed the 9.10 upgrade was available, blithely clicked on it,
it downloaded all night and, when it was ready to reboot to the new
release....it died. I fooled with it in a dumb terminal mode and was able to
do some simple things. Finally, using a 9.04 live disk I backed up my drive.
I was never able to configure audio to my satisfaction even in 9.04. Some
applications worked. A lot did not.
Anyway I went to Planet CCRMA which works only with Fedora (I went with 10),
and then loaded the Planet CCRMA applications. The install was smooth. No
apparent problems.
It is a good improvement for audio. (I also have a cheap, non-standard sound
card so it should get better.) There is a real-time kernel which I have yet
to install.
Check it out.

I had problems using the Ubuntu 9.04 rt kernel package, but when I
compiled the
2.6.29.6-rt?? kernel from source it worked pretty well, even with the
nvidia
drivers. I remember doing lots of other tweaks and recompiling a few
programs
also, but cannot remember them now. You could try rtirq? Remove pulse.
Also, FYI I'm using M2496 card also. In the end I removed enough things
to make
it not the best for general usage, but pretty good for audio. I have not
switched to 9.10 yet.
