I know many people don't stick to that on their system, but tests otherwise really don't help the project in QA at all as we cannot be sure what the unofficial packages have done to your system. Thanks for the effort though, it's good to see your interest in sharing your results - this does help, just try to stick to official packages. :) -Eric -- ___ http://greyrockstudio.blogspot.com -- 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
Ubuntu and laptop w/ external monitor
Hi All, I have done extensive testing with UBStudio 8.04 on a Dell XPS1530 laptop (nvidia) with a monitor plugged into the VGA port. The test was done with: - FFADO - qjackctl - Ardour - 2 Audiofire12's - Ardour recording 24 channels Different test configs: 1. laptop screen only 2. external screen only 3. desktop spread across both laptop and external monitor Results: - config #1 can record for long periods (1 hour +) with no xruns. - config #2, & #3 rarely go more than 30 minutes without xruns. #2 & #3 improve if the jack priority is max'ed to 89, but the display update response suffers drastically. This is using the free nvidia drivers. I suspect this is an nvidia driver or X issue. Any thoughts to address this are welcome.
