If I had such a problem, I would check the following: - identify what is my soundcard - which alsa driver is used for it - look at the alsa users/community list to see if there are any none problem with it - maybe there is a workaround already using module parameters, or maybe it has been fixed upstream already, in which case it will eventually work next time we update the alsa drivers (you could try to install them directly as well) The fact that it works with non-RT is not enough information, you would have to check which alsa versions are used in those different kernels. a. > I don't mind to switch off all unnecesary things such as wifi, > bluetoth, and so on. > What I need is running Jack-rack(working touch screen, works grate > with evtouch).
