Ardour3 and crazy xruns

[funkmuscle]

Hey, anyone having xruns so bad with A3 that it's unusable?
I have A3-beta5 and that runs smoothly with latency set at 128.
if I change latency to 1024, A3 doesn't complain as much so I figure something is wrong.

I'm using Arch64bit.

Is Jack using RT properly?

What does it say at startup?

I recently had some dramas when I dumped GDM (or any DM) in favour of startx...

Cheers,
Mattt.

yes nothing has changed in my setup and it still works great with beta 5.

Hhhmmm... That's strange, then. I'm having no dramas at all with latest (binary release) A3 on Arch64 with an M-Audio 2496 running at 256 frames/period, 2 periods/buffer and 96000 sample rate. The workstation does double-duty as my everyday / development machine and almost *never* xruns apart from one particular web site load (think it's something to do with Flash, but is of no concern because it has nothing to do with music / production).

Given the particulars of your problem (fine with b5, not fine with A3 release), I'd suggest paying a visit to the IRC channel

Sorry I can't be of any more assistance than that...

Cheers,
Mattt.
