May be OK now First screenshot with errors is when I started Jack after restart, 2nd is after I restarted Jack with RT unchecked, then again with it checked. Thank you very much for help., will carry on testing and trying out different settings. We're having a small music room extension added to our house so won't be setting up a studio until later in the year at least.

Thanks for your reply My minimum objective being still to get realtime scheduling enabled So having uninstalled qjackctl (using the software centre, it hadn’t occurred to use synaptic) I left (unchecked) the audio group I have just now installed qjackctl through synaptic Then rejoined the audio group qjackctl was installed with my same customized settings as before, is that normal? Enable realtime was default checked But still get these messages in qjackctl ERROR: Cannot use real-time scheduling...

I might try that grub customizer but will it work in Linux Mint? I’m going over your last two replies to me, to catch up on them I’m making a bit more sense of buffers and latency settings. I have uninstalled qjack from the software centre and have left the audio group so I can reinstall and rejoin group, because I think I first installed qjack before I installed kxstudio. Kxstudio seems to be “enabled”. (Does enabled just mean I have installed the repos? I have lots of kxstudio files in my system...

Thanks Ignotus, you have been so helpful. I will try all this asap, Time to get my actual jam in now!

I've been all day trying to get that lowlatency kernel to boot by default, I think I have succeeded by a very simple solution of adding two lines to the /etc/default/grub file. But that's by the by. I note what you say about updates, thank you Jitter buffer Local is 3, server is 5 In terminal I got this ben@ben-B450-AORUS-M:~$ sudo adduser ben audio [sudo] password for ben: The user ben' is already a member ofaudio'. ben@ben-B450-AORUS-M:~$ So you are saying that it would be good to go back to that...

Thank you Ignoto and Gilgongo, I think I have finally made some progress. The screenshot of the Synaptic window showing which kernel to install was useful. I have completed Ignotus’s list now. Now with buffer set at 128 the sound from other jammers is not breaking up. I have had no hangs so far, even after opening and closing Audacity. “Install the one ( there will be several, go for the one with the latest version number) that says 'image'.” Your screenshot pointed to a different one. I still don’t...
