Above you need to explain. Your overall settings - to me at least - are still looking like you're playing parameter bingo, without understanding much of it. Above parameters define the realtime schedulers time frame, which can be allocated by realtime capable processes. The first parameter says from 1s overall 0.999s can be allocated by SCHED_RT processes. The remainder towards 1s = 0,001s ( maybe I missed a digit) can be allocated by SCHED_OTHER (all processes without rt-scheduling). If you comment above values out you fall back to default values: 1000 950 which means 0.05s can be used by SCHED_OTHER. In your setup you put quite a lot of processes on IRQs on SCHED_OTHER. If you comment out above commands you'll cause less stress to the SCHED_OTHER group. You achieve exactly the opposite you're claiming. With this you'll concentrate on all other than audio processes. They key challenge on an rt system is to find the right balance between all the processes running. And that's a pretty complex task. And there's more than one solution. I doubt that industry experts supported you on this (and on many more of your settings). The overall approach of reducing load on the system with special focus on the audio process has not been your invention btw!!! It's known for quite some time. Anyhow. Keep going. But do your self a favour. Better stop making claims about this or that. You're still PiggyBacking on things other people have figured out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput
After a fresh install of EDO and TT3.0 I just gave SBGK settings a try. This time I'm not getting any freeze ups and it's sounding good (perceived or real) However Touch firmware has yet to update to 7.8 and as a consequence when I try to play 24/192 files I lose the signal altogether and need to restart LMS even to play reg files. I tried logging on to MySqueezebox.com and changing LMS settings to enable checking/downloading of software updates but it's still stuck at 7.7.2 Another interesting thing is that when I open LMS Avast pops up a suspicious file warning and I need to manually OK it.

My buddy who turned me onto Squeezebox and has downloaded a lot of music generally thinks the Vinyl rips to high res from someone with a very high end system sound the best. I guess the dynamic range issues can explain much of that preference. saeyedoc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56705 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95872 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

The usb module is statically linked as part of the kernel not loaded as a module and I believe these parameters only get read at init time - i.e. before you could run any script. So this is probably irrelevant. (These params could be set on a desktop linux version with loadable modules in the insmod command as you can pass params to a module at load time, but this is not applicable to Touch kernels). [in general if you need to change a parameter to be read/write from being read only so you can set it then it should give a hint that it doesn't do anything much] Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

OK The good news - I finally managed to update Touch to 7.8 The bad news is that I'm still not able to stream 24-192 FLAC files from the server. I'm getting a File format not supported - set a date message. Set a date???
