<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So I went out and got one Edirol UA-25, and I definitely have fewer problems than with the builtin soundcard. On my debian - sid installation it worked straight out of the box for playback (havent' tried capture yet)<BR>
<BR>
There's some remaining issues when using JACK with pd, it sometimes causes a timeout and then JACK gets mangled and does not recover; increasing the frames/buffer so far seems to solves it at an acceptable latency level for me, however. It does not seem to require 3 periods setting though I have not accumulated enough evidence to know if the time-out occurs more or less easily with different settings like that. I beilieve this is completely unrelated to which soundcard is used.<BR>
<BR>
Whereas the other probems I had , continuios clicks no matter what settings, are gone when using the UA-25 (and supposedly the sound quality shoudl be better though I have not compared objectively).<BR>

Interesting, that's kind of like what I was getting, I thought it was<BR>
due to the Intel soundchip driver not-quite-there problem.<BR>

I had to do periods/buffer=3 to get anythign to work without constant<BR>
xrns with this intel. I'm surprised it's needed with the Edirol, or is<BR>
it somehow to do with PD? Not that I know what 'periods/buffer' actually<BR>
does...<BR>
