I've got two sound cards on my system, an NVidea on-board card and a USB device (US-122). I can notch up my frames/period to 64 when using the NVidea without incident. When I switch my output to the TASCAM US-X2Y I either distortion on the low end (kick drum distort) when my frames/period is set under 512. The distortion gets worse the lower the number. Finally at 64 frames/period, my box locks up tight as a drum.
BTW I'm using Ubuntu Dapper on an AMD Athlon 64x2. This is the module in use: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Tascam&card=US-428.&chip=EZUSB%2C+FPGA&module=usb-usx2y ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
