Hi ailo,
I see you're the only one that has updated the wiki with info saying
that lowlatency kernel actually gives you lower latency than the generic
kernel.
I'm a little curious as of what is causing this. Could you please try
the following:
- Start the latest generic kernel
- Start your audio programs (jack etc) and verify that the latency is
still not ok/optimal. Set your latency settings to the latency that you
are able to achieve successfully with the lowlatency kernel, but gives
you xruns in the generic kernel.
- Run the following commands:
sudo -s
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo 0 > tracing_enabled
echo wakeup_rt > current_tracer
echo 1 > tracing_enabled
- While in that root shell, wait for an xrun, then attach the output of
the "trace" file here. For the trace file to be of the most use, it
should contain a latency value of ms (as in milliseconds rather than
microseconds), and the task should be "jackd".
You can then
echo nop > current_tracer
...to disable the tracer again, as it might take some additional CPU.
Thanks!
