Thank you Arthur :)

your Delta 44 might be better than my TerraTec EWX 24/96, because your's
has got a DSP for a Mixer, but the TerraTec is fine for Windows with
latencies around 5ms, I searched for this by Google and I also noticed
that I also have no noise or XRUNS at smaller values than 128 Frames, 2
Periods, 48000Hz, so I don't think that I will have crashes because of
128 Frames, 2 Periodes, 48000Hz.

When using my card with Reaper on wine, I had to increase the latency
because of XRUNS, but even with XRUNS Reaper never crashed like
Rosegarden and other Linux applications do, when there are no XRUNS.

I'm afraid that the crashes have nothing to do with the settings for jackd.

"Conventional low latency systems (e.g. ASIO) use n=2 all the time. ALSA
is rather unusual in allowing other values."
(http://lau.linuxaudio.org/jack/)

Because I know that the TerraTec is fine with Windows and Cubase using
the ASIO driver, I guess there shouldn't be the need to increase
Periodes/Buffer to 3.

I've enough CPU resources, but didn't use dither anyway. If ports means
the number of clients jackd can handle, I also can't see wrong value for
that for my settings.

People from the Linux community often say my card should be a less good
card, I should buy a new one and indeed the sound quality I've got with
it using Linux, is less good than when in use with Windows, but on the
other hand there seems to be a lot of people that seems to be fine with
Envy24 cards for Linux.

I can't remember the kind of crashes I've now, when using Linux with my
old hardware, but non-audio Linux with my new hardware is fine and it
wasn't with my old hardware.

I'll try

Frames/Period: 256
Sample Rate: 48000
Periods/Buffer: 3

or

Frames/Period: 512
Sample Rate: 48000
Periods/Buffer: 2

I guess any higher settings are abstruse for a DAW. Using higher values
for Reaper on wine makes Reaper unusable because of bad timing and bad
sync, but even with less high values Reaper, wine or jackd didn't crash,
just the sound was broken when using the mouse, changing the desktop etc..

Cheers,
Ralf
