Re: Real Time kernel US 13.04
Thanks Ralf for the suggestions. Tomorrow i will experiment a little bit. One strange thing that i don't understand is why does still compare the webcam (on the bus 2) in lsusb even if i blacklisted the uvcvideo e videodev drivers? I also found a very interesting discussion about rtirq made on LAU http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/Re-Issue-with-the-priority-of-the-sound-cards-using-rtirq-td40952i20.html Cheers Nicola 2013/7/29 Ralf Mardorf > ninu@ninu-HPg6:~$ service rtirq status > > PID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND >66 FF 90 - 130 0.0 Sirq/8-rtc0 >62 FF 80 - 120 0.3 Sirq/16-ehci_hcd >63 FF 79 - 119 0.8 Sirq/21-ehci_hcd >65 FF 75 - 115 0.0 Sirq/1-i8042 >64 FF 74 - 114 0.0 Sirq/12-i8042 >35 FF 50 - 90 0.0 Sirq/9-acpi > 189 FF 50 - 90 0.0 Sirq/41-rtsx_pci > 217 FF 50 - 90 0.3 Sirq/42-ahci > 424 FF 50 - 90 0.0 Sirq/43-mei > 620 FF 50 - 90 0.4 Sirq/16-ath9k > 742 FF 50 - 90 0.0 Sirq/44-i915 > 1377 FF 50 - 90 0.0 Sirq/40-eth0 > 3 TS - 0 19 0.2 Sksoftirqd/0 >14 TS - 0 19 0.1 Sksoftirqd/1 >19 TS - 0 19 0.0 Sksoftirqd/2 >24 TS - 0 19 0.0 Sksoftirqd/3 > > Unbind ehci_hcd with irq 16 and use ehci_hcd with irq 21 for the USB > sound device.

Re: Real Time kernel US 13.04
The processor in that laptop is pretty weak. It is only a single module (two integer cores) AMD and is thus less capable than a similarly clocked Intel i3. I have no idea what "Even though i use a Roland ua25-ex that stands undisturbed upon its interrupt line..." means since that device is USB based and thus by definition cannot have it's own interrupt. I have a Tascam US122l kicking around. I will see what kind of latency I can get on my AMD machine. It might take a couple of days. Historically it has only been really stable in and around the 10 ms mark.

Re: Real Time kernel US 13.04
First of all, thanks everyone for your quick replies. Second, it's the first time that i write here but i'm a happy ubuntu studio user since 9.10! So thanks to make this distro as great as it is...hope to contribute myself more in the early future. Now, i attach the output of these commands: service rtirq status lsusb cat /proc/interrupts Seems like irq 16 has more priority than irq 21 that's where my ua25-ex stands. How can i prioritize it? p.s.I'm ready to compile the RT kernel as well, thanks for the links (that would be my first time!).

Re: Real Time kernel US 13.04
Hello Nicola, A packaged RT kernel for Ubuntu 13.04 is not available via any repository or PPA currently. We do have plans to resume maintenance of the "linux-rt" package in the near future (possibly after the release of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS). However, I don't think a packaged RT kernel will be available for Ubuntu 13.04. Meanwhile, you can build the Linux RT kernel yourself. Follow the instructions in https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RT_PREEMPT_HOWTO for details.

Some audio devices work better than others. And, there is always the chance of IRQ conflict, causing one piece of hardware to disturbe the performance of another. Ralph mentioned rtirq.

Re: Real Time kernel US 13.04
That Laptop has limited cpu and I/O resources for the many apps that can run on this kernel thus you get plenty of xruns. In other words, you need more hardware resources. Perhaps if you use an externel usb sound card you may get some help. You need to be at 8Gb of Ram and a high speed hard Drive. Graphics on that Laptop will be a problem too.

Real Time kernel US 13.04
Hi all, Is it available a Real Time kernel for the 13.04? I've tried both the default lowlatency kernels but to be honest i'm not satisfied with them. With my hp pavilion g6 can't get good results with jack below 11,6 ms (many xruns) even if i tried several further configurations (ex, i disabled pulseaudio). Even though i use a Roland ua25-ex that stands undisturbed upon its interrupt line... Any tips eventually?

Re: new Studio user writes
Adam it depends on what you need to do in Jack. I use it for many different scenarios such as mixing a composition from LMMS (Linux Multimedia Studio) to vocals in Audacity. Or you may want to record something from YouTube and mix with audio in Audacity. With Jack you can do this. There are many other uses for it and you will enjoy using it as you gain confidence and knowledge in how it works. I use it all the time and you are welcome to share my desktop and see how I have it set up. On Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 5:35 AM, adam wrote: > Newly installed 12.04 Studio.

Re: new Studio user writes
A newbie is asking how to do a start, please don't hijack this thread. Sometime ago we did something similar and the OP of this other thread never came back. If you want to discuss pulseaudio please open a new thread. IMO the OP should give us some information, so we can explain how to set up jackd, e.g. that the OP shouldn't touch periods/buffer size, excepted it's some crappy internal device that should be used with a value of 3 instead of 2. Latency should be set by using frames/period and sample rate only etc. pp., however, we still need some information from the OP.

One way to disable the module is to uninstall pulseaudio-module-jack.

Jack is easy to configure. It is the Pulse audio that can be a real bad player in this.

alsamixer
Hi :) it's said that all settings of RME sound cards are available by alsamixer, so seemingly I'm doing something wrong. This isn't a request regarding to my RME sound card, just a question about how to use alsamixer. I'm missing how to set up the routing. You for sure remember that using TotaMix on Windows I can access all 8 ADAT channels, but using TotalMix on Linux, aka hdspmixer, I only can use ADAT channels 1 and 2, the others aren't available by jack. hdspmixer shows a signal for all 8 ADAT channels, the signal only is missing for jack. So how can I use alsamixer to ensure that e.g. ADAT channel 3 is jack capture_9? ADAT channel 1 is available by jack capture_7, channel 2 by capture_8, but than it stops, the other captures don't get the audio signal. $ amixer scontents Simple mixer control 'ADAT Frequency',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'No Lock' '32 kHz' '44.1 kHz' '48 kHz' '64 kHz' '88.2 kHz' '96 kHz' '128 kHz' '176.4 kHz' '192 kHz' Item0: 'No Lock' Simple mixer control 'ADAT SyncCheck',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'No Lock' 'Lock' 'Sync' 'N/A' Item0: 'No Lock' Simple mixer control 'AES Frequency',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'No Lock' '32 kHz' '44.1 kHz' '48 kHz' '64 kHz' '88.2 kHz' '96 kHz' '128 kHz' '176.4 kHz' '192 kHz' Item0: 'No Lock' Simple mixer control 'AES SyncCheck',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'No Lock' 'Lock' 'Sync' 'N/A' Item0: 'No Lock' Simple mixer control 'Chn',1 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 24 [38%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',2 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 64 [100%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',3 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 0 [0%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',4 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 0 [0%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',5 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 0 [0%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',6 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 0 [0%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',7 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 0 [0%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',8 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 0 [0%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',9 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 64 [100%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',10 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 64 [100%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',11 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 64 [100%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',12 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 64 [100%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',13 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 19 [30%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',14 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 64 [100%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',15 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 64 [100%] Simple mixer control 'Chn',16 Capabilities: volume volume-joined Playback channels: Mono Capture channels: Mono Limits: 0 - 64 Mono: 64 [100%] Simple mixer control 'External Rate',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'No Lock' '32 kHz' '44.1 kHz' '48 kHz' '64 kHz' '88.2 kHz' '96 kHz' '128 kHz' '176.4 kHz' '192 kHz' Item0: 'No Lock' Simple mixer control 'Internal Clock',0 Capabilities: enum Items: '32 kHz' '44.1 kHz' '48 kHz' '64 kHz' '88.2 kHz' '96 kHz' '128 kHz' '176.4 kHz' '192 kHz' Item0: '48 kHz' Simple mixer control 'Preferred Sync Reference',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'Word Clock' 'ADAT' 'AES' 'SPDIF' 'Sync In' Item0: 'Word Clock' Simple mixer control 'SPDIF Frequency',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'No Lock' '32 kHz' '44.1 kHz' '48 kHz' '64 kHz' '88.2 kHz' '96 kHz' '128 kHz' '176.4 kHz' '192 kHz' Item0: 'No Lock' Simple mixer control 'SPDIF SyncCheck',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'No Lock' 'Lock' 'Sync' 'N/A' Item0: 'No Lock' Simple mixer control 'SYNC IN Frequency',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'No Lock' '32 kHz' '44.1 kHz' '48 kHz' '64 kHz' '88.2 kHz' '96 kHz' '128 kHz' '176.4 kHz' '192 kHz' Item0: 'No Lock' Simple mixer control 'SYNC IN SyncCheck',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'No Lock' 'Lock' 'Sync' 'N/A' Item0: 'No Lock' Simple mixer control 'System Cl

Newly installed 12.04 Studio. And Xfce seems nice. I am interested in Audio, primarily. So, with the U Forums down, where should I start? There are many apps from the Audio Production menu, but I guess mastering patching jack is step 1 ? Do I still need pasuspend? Is there a Studio Tutorial on setting up jack ? Perhaps the jack site for Command line Alt-F2, or perhaps the Qjackctl site ? A Tutorial on how to get, say, Qtractor driving any of the Synths, via jack I guess, would be helpful. Or simply a flow-chart, suggesting in which order to start the applications up in, would be a start. It would be nice to then Save that as a Project. Any Tutorials or suggestions on getting started with Studio Audio, much appreciated. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
