Have you checked the JACK connections and made sure an output isn't connected to an input in JACK and you're getting feedback?

What is the 150Hz like? A buzz or a sine tone? I can't think of a way this would originate in the digital domain. Is it an earth problem between the two cards?

I found that disabling compositing helped when I used AV Linux with an Nvidia graphics card. I'm fairly sure that that was an Nvidia issue, and not anything directly related to compositing itself. Conceptually you would think compositing could actually help by taking some graphics load off the CPU. ...

Thanks psyocean and Basslint. Glad you enjoyed it!

OK, that's a distro aimed at embedded systems? I'm not familiar with it. You managed to install rt-tests. Or did that come with the distro?

However you install software on your distro, use that method to install gnuplot. You may have to download the gnuplot source and compile it.

OK well a 2GB desktop stick is about £3, so you could try adding it to the 1GB and if it works get another one.

That's it. This: Maximum Capacity: 2 GB Error Information Handle: Not Provided Number Of Devices: 2 tells us the maximum capacity. EDIT: Technically that is saying you can have two 1GB sticks. I used dmidecode when I added more memory to my machine. Although dmidecode tells me the maximum capacity i...

That looks like sudo apt-get update. I don't know what the last line says. Pakketlijsten worden ingelezen... Klaar . Did you type them in one at a time?

The Arch Linux forum looks pretty good and it runs on FluxBB

I've seen DDR2 in second hand shops for pennies. Your machine will definitely take another 1GB stick. If you want to find out the maximum ram your machine can take do this: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dmidecode sudo dmidecode -t 16 That will print out 'Maximum Capacity' along with some ...

You got it! Yes, you've got 1 GiB ram. You can see that the swap partition is being used:

That isn't advised for audio. So more ram is recommended. It will definitely help.

Open a terminal, type 'free' and press return. Then copy and paste what it prints out and post that here, preferably in a code box.

I'm surprised a system with 1GB of ram can do much or anything. Could you post the output of
