I have two problems with it, though:
1) I can't get it to work pulseaudio (without jack). pavucontrol shows it, I see the input meters move when I play, but I hear no sound from it. I can record from it in Audacity (and hear back), but no sound from it.
2) I'm having lots of xruns, unless I run relatively high latency. 48k sample rate, 512 frames and 2 periods (21.3ms of latency), seems to holding up OK. From what I've read, other users can get much lower latency... EDIT: These settings are still giving me xruns all the time...
Now, I am really new to all this, so I am sorry if I am being obtuse here, but I'd appreciate any help.
About my system: I am running aptosid (basically Debian Sid with a custom kernel). Could the kernel be the reason for the xruns?
Here is some info on it:
