Hello, As I will soon be recording my new album, I'd like to work a bit at home. I've got a (very bad) embedded audio soundcard at home, which is based on NVidia CK084. I've got a RT kernel, work on Debian, with Rosegarden (for notations edition and MIDI playing) and ardour (in order to record my voices, and to hear them right after). All is OK by that side, I work with a latency of 2.5ms, and it's widely sufficient for what I want to do at that time. On the hardware side, I've got a TL-Audio preamp, which I link to the only one input of my sound card, and on which I plug my mic. My gains are OK on it, and output level is fine. The fact is, as one could guess, when I chose input device as "default" in jack, I have very poor sound, very low, with big noise. So, I'd like to adapt it for a non-line-level input, and I've chosen NVidia CK084 Mic ADC as an input device. But the problem is that, with this choices, Xruns don't stop, and finally jack stops! I really don't need a good system, as it's only for some training, but if I cannot hear what I sing, it doesn't serve in any way. Does someone as an idea about what to do to get a higher input level, without having so much Xruns. Thanks. -- ============================== ORL /// AMMD Booking (www.ammd.net) ° Sebkha-Chott (www.sebkhachott.net - Ohreland [FR]) - next touring period: 04-06/2008 ° Unexpect (www.unexpect.com - Montréal [CA]) - Europe tour w/ Sebkha-Chott period: 09-12/2008 ° La Muette (www.myspace.com/muette - Paris [FR]) - next touring period: 05/2008 (Bretagne) ° Mel-P (www.mel-p.net - Le Mans [FR]) - next touring period: 09/2008 Phone: +33 (0)2 43 52 15 77
