Hi :)

on Ubuntu Studio Quantal I switched to
$ uname -a
Linux qrc 3.6.5-rt14 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Fri Nov 2 21:36:37 CET 2012
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A kernel-rt seems to be much better on my machine.

With the kernel-lowlatency for a very small audio session, CPU usage
"< 10%", I get xruns with

sample_rate=48000
frames_period=512

Now, with the kernel-rt everything seems to be [Ok] with

frames_period=256

but with frames_period=128 I get xruns again.

Regards,
Ralf


Did you compare with a lowlatency of the same kernel version?
If not, the test is not very conclusive.

If you like to see some good results from a lowlatency kernel, try 2.6.37, and perhaps also 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 As you might have experienced, something made kernels less reliable from somewhere around version 3.
I haven't tried 3.6 series yet.
