I'm trying to set-up a machine suitable for music/audio production. But JACK just stops working at random. Sometimes it works, but after a a while it doesn't anymore. And when that happens (which happens sooner rather than later,) restarting JACK (with qjackctl) doesn't help; only rebooting the machine does, which as you can guess is very annoying. I'm appending the error message in case someone can help me figure out what's going on. I'm on AMD64, kernel 2.6.35.1 (gentoo-sources-2.6.35-r1) using in-kernel ALSA on a SoundBlaster Live 24-bit. ---------- Sat Aug 14 01:15:42 2010: ERROR: alsa_driver_xrun_recovery Sat Aug 14 01:15:42
