Well, you've seen the xrun detection there, so it's basically the problem of other parts, such as disk contoller driver. That is, something else takes too long time, and the irq for sound can't be handled at the right time. If the preempt option doesn't solve the problem, I'd recommend you to consult on LKML. Takashi |
