[05:16] can anyone help me diagnose why i'm getting 12 XRUNS a second on my comp? [05:16] sure [05:16] xchris2168x: try running as root temporarily [05:16] look at the messages in the JACK window [05:17] consider trying other kernels [05:17] realtime or not? [05:17] xchris2168x: RT usually permits lower latency [05:17] you can also just relax the JACK settings [05:17] increas the latency [05:17] depends on what you are doing if you actually need low latency [05:18] i say, if you dont have 12ms, you dont need RT [05:18] i mean, at this point i'm just trying to get it to the point where my guitar doesn't sound like a helicopter [05:18] anything around 15ms starts to get unacceptable to me [05:18] xchris2168x: when? after you record it? [05:18] just dont monitor with the computer [05:19] monitor live... track at a higher latency... [05:19] well i like to use rakarrack as an amp since i'm in college and don't have space/$$ for a real amp right now [05:19] also depends on the hardware... you wont get low latency or great quality from an internal card [05:20] xchris2168x: i use it... i use it via firewire.. and with several USB devices [05:20] yeah, i've got a Line 6 UX2 [05:20] you can try a different kernel [05:20] you can ask in #opensourcemusicians [05:21] https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa [05:21] you dont *need* the line6 [05:21] you can try the internal card [05:21] see if you get better performance [05:22] well i need the line6 to hook up to my monitors [05:22] and my guitar too [05:22] xchris2168x: hook it up [05:22] then line out of that into the internal sound card [05:22] im just suggesting trying the other interface you already have [05:23] yeah, the drivers ARE a little bit iffy... [05:23] good suggestion [05:23] thank you [05:23] yeah, it wont hurt [05:23] i hate using internal cards though [05:23] how about as root? [05:23] still bad? [05:23] just as bad yeah.. [05:24] try the kernel too though [05:24] how long do you think that'll take? [05:24] xchris2168x: ? [05:25] trying a kernel? [05:25] yeah, never done it [05:25] depends... not long [05:25] it would take me about 4 mintues longer than it takes my machine to reboot [05:25] alright, let me give it a try [05:26] sudo apt-add-repository ppa:abogani/ppa [05:26] sudo apt-get update [05:26] sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency [05:27] then, you can decide about editing grub to show you the kernels, or just holding shift down when you reboot [05:27] !grub2 [05:27] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [05:27] xchris2168x: i have also been told that USB devices need to have 2 periods/buffer [05:27] not 3 [05:28] i've tried with 2-6 periods [05:28] literally tried it all within the qjackctl settings [05:28] xchris2168x: well, you can just set it to 2 for the tests with the lowlatency kernel [05:28] leave the RT box checked
