optimizing firewire settings

[oNNogitaar]

Dear all,
i got my new computer installed with Trisquel OS
3.2.0-38-generic #0trisquel1 SMP Wed Feb 27 19:09:07 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Running an Ardour session gives many hickups and after 254 x-runs it hang...

I tried this:
http://linux.autostatic.com/je-systeem-configureren
I have JACK installed and allowed realtime priorities.
I have not installed a Real-time kernel, should i?
These are my Jack settings:


this is the outcome of ffado-diag

=== REPORT ===
FireWire kernel drivers:

The new FireWire kernel stack is loaded. 
This is still kind of experimental. If you encounter problems, please also check
with the old stack.

Should i proceed with "Onder de motorkap" or is it wise to do other things first?
Thank you!

[SR]

Firewire is pretty much unusable on my system without a realtime kernel. I would start there.

For the best help optimizing firewire setup I would use the ffado-user email list: http://www.ffado.org/?q=contact

Hi oNNogitaar, Could you post the output of ffado-diag?

I haven't a firewire card, but first thing I would try is to lower the sample rate.
For non-live work with ardour, you could also set a higher frames/period rate.

or do you mean something else?

[Thad E Ginathom]

Firewire is pretty much unusable on my system without a realtime kernel. I would start there.

I find that the low-latency kernel is fine. I have not tried the generic kernel for some time.

[oNNogitaar]

I am not sure about the rt-kernel, if available at all.
Autostatic writes it is optional...

[autostatic]

hi Jeremy,
thanks, i already did?

My bad, simply overlooked it All looks well, TI instruments host controller which sits on its own IRQ. Did you disable CPU frequency scaling? Are you using Jack1 or Jack2? And did you try with a low-latency kernel (assuming Trisquel has one)?

[oNNogitaar]

hi Jeremy,
thanks for the help!
I do not know if i disabled CPU frequency scaling, should i do that in the BIOS? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1269293

Are you using Jack1 or Jack2?

i did a:

Code: Select all

dpkg -s jack | grep "Version: "

but i get:

Code: Select all

Package `jack' is not installed and no info is available.

so i do not know, how do i find out?

did you try with a low-latency kernel

it looks like there is only a realtime one...

You could give it a try, baat het niet dan schaadt het niet and you can always uninstall it again if it doesn't work properly.

thanks for your input!! that helps a lot
i did:

and

for the realtimekernel, these are the right comands in the right order?

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:linux-libre/rt-ppa

Thanks again, i highly apreceate it

[autostatic]

thanks for your input!! that helps a lot
i did:

Code: Select all

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

and

Code: Select all

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_governor

but both say:

Code: Select all

No such file or directory

That's weird, this could mean your kernel doesn't support CPU frequency scaling. What's the output of

Code: Select all

cat /proc/cpuinfo

i dunno what the difference between cpu*and cpu? would be, i probably need still another one.

* and ? are both wild card characters in Bash. * is a wild card for multiple characters while ? is a wild card for single characters (http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/special-chars.html)

That's Jack2. And is your user a member of the audio group?

Yes that should work I think.

[oNNogitaar]

I think it worked with the realtimekernel.
t.i. there were no complaints in the terminal. But on the next startup i did not get a grub menu...
How do i select the rt-kernel? or is that automatically now?

The output of

Code: Select all

cat /proc/cpuinfo

is:

That's Jack2.

Is that good anyway? (since you wrote mijn voorkeur gaat uit naar Jack1)

And is your user a member of the audio group?

i tried as root since i do not know how to set allowances from a terminal and i did not yet find such a GUI as in UbuntuStudio.
So... i think yes.
