Hi, cheers, Listen to the ogg files from here: http://www.musix.org.ar/ogg/ 1) http://www.musix.org.ar/ogg/kernel-2.6.15.4-rt_tests_zyn+hydrogen+timemachi… 2) http://www.musix.org.ar/ogg/kernel-2.6.15.4-rt_tests_zyn+hydrogen+timemachi… * rtirq status PID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND 660 FF 90 - 130 0.0 S< IRQ 8 [........./ 0] rtc 1099 FF 80 - 120 0.0 S< IRQ 10 [........./ 0] uhci_hcd 1229 FF 79 - 119 0.0 S< IRQ 5 [........./ 0] uhci_hcd 2525 FF 70 - 110 0.0 S< IRQ 11 [........./ 0] ehci_hcd 674 FF 69 - 109 0.0 S< IRQ 6 [........./ 0] uhci_hcd 757 FF 60 - 100 0.0 S< IRQ 1 [........./ 0] i 671 FF 59 - 99 0.0 S< IRQ 12 [........./ 0] i 692 FF 46 - 86 0.3 S< IRQ 14 [........./ 0] ide 695 FF 45 - 85 0.0 S< IRQ 15 [........./ 0] ide 1471 FF 41 - 81 0.0 S< IRQ 4 That works OK Apps test: 1) /usr/bin/jackd -R -P89 -t1000 -m -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p64 -n2 -P -s -S (2.67 ms latency) I can play Hydrogen with a heavy (weighted) drum kit, and i had only 1 (2) xruns into JACK (qjackctl) 2) usr/bin/jackd -R -P89 -t1000 -m -dalsa -dhw:0 -r48000 -p128 -n2 -P -s -S (5.33 ms latency) I can play Hydrogen with a heavy (weighted) drum kit, and i had no xruns into JACK(qjackctl) I loaded zynaddsubfx and play with some instruments when listening to Hydrogen drums, and had no xruns (that's fine!), but, when i opened timemachine to record my demo song, it produced more xruns (whit hard disk read/write), so I will use a more conservative setup for jack 3) /usr/bin/jackd -R -P89 -t1000 -m -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p256 -n2 -P -s -S (11.6ms latency) I can play Hydrogen with a heavy (weighted) drum kit, and i had no xruns into JACK(qjackctl) I loaded zynaddsubfx and play with some instruments when listening to Hydrogen drums, and had no xruns (that's fine!), then i opened timemachine to record my demo song (there were some sound artifacts, some clicks when connecting jack virtual cables). Ok, press REC into timemachine to record a live jamin and it works just fine: no xruns. 3.1) Then i opened Jamin to master in a live mode.... and it produces 1 (2) xruns when loading itself. When I played my keyboard with zynaddsubfx it produced 3(4) xruns. Then when I recorded with timemachine connected to Jamin, it produced 5 (6) xruns, but it sounded ok. * I think that all of these xruns have something to be with HD settings and with my 120Mb RAM memory Duron1800Mhz, SB Live! These test are ok for me... but we must test this kernel into a better PC.
