Hi
A friend of mine has just installed ubuntu with a little phone support
from me. The changes we did were:
1) Add him to the audio group /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules
2) Add the following to
KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="audio"
KERNEL=="dv1394*", GROUP="audio"
KERNEL=="video1394*", GROUP="audio"
3) Install a realtime kernel
However he still reports that jack exits after about 10s with buffersize
128 and he get's lots of xruns on larger buffer settings (I think even
on 1024).
This surprises me, since I run standard ubuntu (recently installed the
realtime kernel, though) with no xruns on buffersize 128 with an FA66.
Is there anything I forgot in my over-the-phone instructions? Other
ideas on how to narrow this down?
NB: I don't his computer, but according to him, it's an "old
laptop"...
Hello Atte,
First thing that pops up in my mind is CPU frequency scaling (disabling
the Ondemand service), but apparently it's an old laptop so maybe it
doesn't apply.
And Firewire can be very picky when it's an onboard Firewire chipset. If
so it could share an IRQ and then you most probably have to use rtirq to
get it running in a stable way.
Best,
Jeremy
