When I tried to switch into another part of the desktop everything hung. I will try again because it may have been a time issue and therefore a complete coincidence. It seems to be directly related to stress on xfree which causes an xrun in jackd. This time when I started up I had a clear signal and could switch screens without dropouts but when I downloaded some messages I caused an xrun and then the sound got all choppy. Still no hang so I tried moving the ardour editor window to a different screen and that was it. I have a usb mouse and am using the nvidia drivers for my video card which is a 64MB geforce2. Plus I was running jackd as normal user. However I can get normal recording and xfree performance if I don't use jack. That is whether I am root user or not. So it sounds like you have sorted the problem (unless you can think of anything else) and I need to do some serious fine tuning to get JACK working correctly. We still need a way to access all four channels at the same time though. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.

Patrick, I'll checkout cvs tomorrow morning, compile and test around a bit with a rc-generator and the oscilloscope. I'll send the results to the list. Am Donnerstag, 4.
