Anthony,
I had some problems with the accelerated NVIDIA driver so I turn it
off when I'm working with Ardour (this is a pain in the backside but
it helps). Also, if you're running the accelerated driver it kicks
the latency timer to 248 for the video card. I shut that (and
everything else) down to 32 and kicked the sound card to 248. My
video card is AGP but maybe setting the sound card timer to 248 could
help you as well.
Thanks for the suggestion. Using either the "nvidia" or the free
"nv"
gives the same problem. I've played with the latency settings with no
success.

Excuse my ignorance but how can I tweak the latency timer for pci cards?
Btw I got some problems with my nvidia graphics card. When I compile new
a kernel with low latency and preempt patches(actually with the low
latency patch only is ok ) Applying the preemt patch and loading the nv
or nvidia drivers gives me a nice kernel oops.
setpci -v -s 02:04 latency_timer=ff
will see the timer to 256 for device 2:4
Did you recompile the nvidia driver after doing this?
