I’m having some really strange and really really irritating problems with my audio recording setup. I have an M-Audio Delta 1010 connected to my openSUSE 11.0 machine with a 2.7GHz dual core processor, 2GB memory, etc. I am running KDE4 (which, btw, is still sort of buggy; are they getting anywhere with that?). Anyway, I recall trying out JACK implementation not long after I built this machine, and I was able to get a pretty good speed; I think I had about 15msec latency, and I was able to run realtime mode. Well, now, a couple months later, nothing has changed ,but I can’t run JACK in realtime. To make matters worse, whenever I do ANYTHING while JACK is running (minimize/maximize, RECORD, move windows, etc.) I get one or several xruns. Not to mention My latency is up to like 25msec now I think. The whole situation basically rendered the recording interface unusable. What might be the problem here? I haven’t got a clue but I’m really aggrivated, because I had problems like this in Ubuntu and I thought that building a new PC and switching OSes had solved the problem.
