Ok thanks for the reply. I now see that I have omitted the info that I am already using Alsa, and the "the buffer to 8192 periods, now 4" should of course read "the buffer to 8192 frames, now 4 periods". Sorry for the confusion.
I will try to find out how I can install "emilio's kernel" and see if that fixes the problem. I am an experienced Linux user but new to CubieBoard2. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
