First, make sure "Sequencer timing source" is set to "(auto)" in the preferences (MIDI > General). That's the most reliable.

If that doesn't clear it up, have a look at my Linux MIDI guide. The first section "Installing a Low Latency Kernel" covers the steps to confirm you have a 1000Hz clock configured in your kernel:

If those steps reveal a 1000Hz clock, then perhaps Rosegarden isn't checking the right thing.

Hello,

I have been seeing the warning about low timer frequency every time I start Rosegarden. I have tried this:

- I'm using an RT kernel (6.12.11-rt-amd64 from Debian)
- Added myself to the audio group
- The clocksource is hpet (because /sys/devices/system/clocksource/ clocksource0/current_clocksource contains "hpet") - I have measured the clock frequency, and it seems much better than 250HZ [1] [2]

But still, Rosegarden says the frequency is 250Hz.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main() {
     struct timespec res;

     // Get the resolution of the CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock
     if (clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) == -1) {
         perror("clock_getres");
         return 1;
     }

     // Calculate total resolution in seconds
    long double total_resolution_seconds = res.tv_sec + (res.tv_nsec / 1e9);

     // Calculate frequency in Hertz
     long double frequency_hz = 1.0 / total_resolution_seconds;

     // Print the resolution and frequency
     printf("Timer resolution:\n");
     printf("Seconds: %ld\n", res.tv_sec);
     printf("Nanoseconds: %ld\n", res.tv_nsec);
     printf("Frequency: %.2Lf Hz\n", frequency_hz);

     return 0;
}
