Hi :) Before I read and answer your Mails, here is something I checked out. I'm afraid that the BIOS for the mobo isn't fine with Linux, resp. hopefully wasn't fine with Linux. I made an update today. My version was from March and I now have a version from August.
My sound card is a TerraTec EWX 24/96 without the MIDI-Adapter-Kit, it's Envy25-based. It seems to be fine. Might there be a setting for the BIOS, that can effect the card, maybe for DMA, because of DMA buffer latency settings? Anyway, I have to read your mails later, here is what I did. Maybe someone knows something about AMD CPU configurations, if not I'll search the net for informations later. I guess the last Memtest I run was before I updated the BIOS for my ASUS M2A-VM HDMI. Actually I had (after the Memtest I udated the BIOS again) version 1705 03/28/2008. As far as I remember I had a BIOS < version 1603 before I did the update to 1705. 1603 BIOS 1. Fixed that AM2 and AM2+ CPU enable ECC function fail. 2.Update Realtek PXE ROM to V2.08. 3.Enchance the compatibility of some memory. 4.Support BIOS downgraded protection.(To avoid the system BIOS can be downgraded to BIOS before 1603). 1705 BIOS The latest beta BIOS I run Memtest86+ v1.65. WallTime 11:13:00, Test Std, Pass 16 was running, Errors 0. I checked the power. Vcore Voltage 1.21V, 3.3V Voltage 3.31V - 3.32V, 5V Voltage 4.86V - 4.89V, 12V Voltage 12.03V. Then I did an update for the BIOS from 1750 to 2001 08/05/2008. 1801 BIOS 1. Fix fail to resume from S3 with AMD 5000+ CPU issue. 2. Fix show wrong AM2+ CPU HT/NB frequency in BIOS. 1803 BIOS for M2A-VM/HDMI 1.Resolve fail to connect to internet after update LAN driver. 2.Modify Crashfree function fail problem. 2001 BIOS for M2A-VM/HDMI Fix the problem that "Usable Memory" is unable to be detected completely if using 4G memory and AMD triple CPU. Again I run Memtest86+ v1.65. WallTime 00:11:00, Test Std, Pass 0 was at 44%, Errors 0. I didn't check if there's still the LBA/CHS inconsistency for the IDE and SATA II (the SATA II is new, only runs with the actual mobo and was and is set to auto for the BIOS, such an inconsistency shouldn't have to do with the troubles for "pro-audio" Linux). For Memtest the RAM is still 200MHz, DDR400, even if the BIOS is set to DDR2 800 (like the used RAMS are). There are some settings for the BIOS, I don't understand. PCIPnP > Resources Controlled By Auto (IRQ, DMA and memory base address field are effected by this). PCIPnP > PCI Latency Timer (CLK) 64 (by default). PCIPnP > Maximum Playload Size 4096 (by default, RAM Size is 2048MB). Advanced > CPU Frequency 200MHz (by default, that seems to be fine, because the CPU cores are running correct at 2,1GHz, but 200MHz is the clock that Memtest detected for the RAM). In don't know what "Virtualisation", "C1E Support" and "Live!" means. This is the default CPU Configuration: AMD Virtualisation Enabled AMD CPU C1E Support Disabled AMD Live! Disabled AMD Cool'n'Quiet Function Auto I only changed settings I do understand, so I keep the default settings for the CPU Configuration. I can't find the originate Rosegarden sources for Rosegarden4 1.6.1. Will e.g. this source code be fine: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/rosegarden/1:1.6.1-1ubuntu1 I think a sourcecode still is a sourcecode. Unstable for my 64 Studio (default Etch) seems to be Rosegarden and or QSampler and or QjackCtl and or jackd. Because Will is fine with Rosegarden 1.6.1 it might be wise to compile it too, instead of using 1.7.0 or 1.7.1. Cheers, Ralf
