[PD] UDOO Quad and Generic Guitar to USB link issues

If you haven't tried it already, try increasing the latency in the audio
settings (probably not the issue, but worth a shot).

Maybe it's only having trouble with duplex audio (simultaneous input and
output). Do you have both input and output enabled for your soundcard? Does
it work if you only have the output device set, and leave the input device
blank?

You can test to see if duplex audio is working outside of pd - try running
"arecord | aplay" (the vertical bar means pipe the data from arecord into
aplay), and see if you get usable sound. You may need to set some command
line flags on those to get the sample rate and audio devices right, sorry I
don't know them offhand.

I am running a fairly similar setup - for an honors project at my
university, I'm using a Raspberry Pi and Behringer UCG102. I have a nice
multi-effects pedal working at less than 20ms latency. If my Raspberry Pi
can handle it, I feel like your UDOO quad should definitely be able to. I'd
like to add that you have a nice taste in projects :)
