I could use some help if anyone is up for a JACK/Audio issue? [19:58] crimzon: hey [19:58] whats up? [19:59] hi [19:59] well, jack is failing to start [19:59] has it ever started? [19:59] No, new build. Ubuntu Studio 10.04 AMD SB 850 Ati Chipset [19:59] OK [19:59] internal card? [20:00] ya [20:00] RT kernel? [20:00] it says preempt, is that the same thing? [20:00] run uname -a in a terminal just to make sure [20:00] crimzon: not to JACK [20:00] AFAIK [20:01] crimzon: run sudo qjackctl [20:01] and go into the 'setup' [20:01] and uncheck the 'realtime' check box [20:01] and see if it starts as su [20:01] crimzon: check the latency down in the right corner too [20:02] an dmake sure its nothing ridiculous [20:02] 20ms or more should be safe [20:03] Hmmm. I don't see setup in the qjackctl [20:03] let me get a screenshot link [20:03] so we know we're talking about the same thing [20:04] http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/qjackctl-ss1.html [20:04] crimzon: check that out ^^ [20:04] the first screenshot [20:04] click on 'setup' [20:04] thats what you should see when you run sudo qjackctl [20:05] lol, I'm sorry. I found it. Wow. I've been staring at this stuff too long. [20:05] crimzon: i totally understand [20:05] im doing the same thing [20:05] setting up a new install on a better box i had donated to me [20:05] after a while, it just all looks the same ;) [20:06] ANYHOW, whats the latency reading down in the lower right? [20:07] Man, I can't get win7 to dual boot for the life of me. But that's another issue. Trying to use MDADM for a software raid5, but windows just can't let it do, keeps nuking MBRs on all disks... it's odd. [20:07] whatever, 69ms latency [20:07] cool [20:07] that'll be fine for testing purposes [20:07] uncheck that 'realtime box' [20:07] What should I be able to get that down to? [20:08] save [20:08] ya, unchecked [20:08] and try starting it [20:08] crimzon: with an internal card [20:08] and preemtive kernel [20:08] and no RT set here [20:08] i would think under 30 [20:08] maybe under 20 ? [20:08] depends really [20:09] crimzon: you can try getting the RT kernel and checking this box [20:09] I have a PCI Audigy 2, and I could maybe compile an RT for my system. I'd like to get it under 10 for recording purposes later. [20:09] you might be able to get close to 10 [20:09] not installed mind you [20:10] does is start as root? [20:10] and not complain? [20:10] Seems to be putting along, message readout is all XRUN callback 26-27 [20:11] cool [20:11] yeah, lost of things can cause that [20:11] might want to look at your IRQ's [20:11] later [20:11] ANYWAY [20:11] hit the stop button [20:11] and close Qjack [20:12] and open it back up as normal user [20:12] double check the settings, and see if it starts and acts similar [20:13] looks happy. same output [20:13] crimzon: COOL [20:13] so your up and running [20:13] need to trouble shoot those xruns [20:13] So I might have sound now? YEA!!!! [20:14] first place i look is cat /proc/interrupts [20:14] Ok, where should i read about that? [20:14] k [20:14] 21: 31880039 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb3, sata_via [20:14] thats a line from mine [20:14] you want your sound card off by itself idealy [20:14] ideally* [20:14] sometimes you can set this in the bios, sometimes not [20:15] crimzon: also, just relaxing the JACK settins [20:15] increasing frames/period and periods/buffer [20:15] crimzon: hell [20:16] getting the RT kernel and checking that box can help too [20:16] ;-p [20:16] you might want to try that first [20:16] thats easy enough [20:16] 16: 52020 18 396 756 IO-APIC-fasteoi HDA Intel [20:16] check out #opensourcemusicans too [20:17] if you need more tweaking advice [20:17] crimzon: thats probably OK [20:17] 19: 0 0 33 55 IO-APIC-fasteoi HDA Intel [20:17] not bad having 2 [20:17] you could look in your bios next reboot [20:17] one is for the HDMI built in [20:17] and see if you can get the sound off on its own [20:17] make sure audio has it's own IRQ? [20:18] k [20:18] but that looks acceptable [20:18] I could try this Soundblaster, see if it performs better. I keep getting a random popping sound in my left or right speaker. [20:19] yeah, im not a fan of the creative gear personally [20:19] but, its worth a try [20:20] Thank you so much for your help [20:20] anytime :) [20:20] good luck [20:20] I can't believe it was that simple!!! [20:20] hehe [20:21] OH yeah [20:21] for dual booting [20:21] http://gag.sourceforge.net/ [20:21] check that bootloader out [20:22] AFAIK you dont have to install it to use it [20:22] :-[ === Dominus is now known as Guest69544 === Dominus is now known as Guest37902 === Guest34884 is now known as Pablo === Dominus is now known as Guest70300 [23:25] Does Ubuntu studio comes with YafaRay? [23:25] Does Ubuntu studio comes with YafaRay?' [23:25] Or some other renderer for Blender? [23:26] I am downloading the "alternate" version, whatever that means [23:26] 1 hour to go
