Description

jackd 0.116.1 with ffado 1.999.43 on Ubuntu Karmic:

libffado1 2.0~rc2+svn1569-2ubuntu1 jackd 0.116.1-4ubuntu2

Sound card: Edirol FA-66 FireWire? card: Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 IEEE-1394b Link Layer Controller (rev 01)

I start jackd with:

jackd -R -d firewire -r 44100 -n 4 -p 2048 -v3

After a minute or so I get a constant flow of error messages like these:

13010291434: Error (CycleTimerHelper?.cpp)[ 508] Execute: negative step: -6311384749.779715! (correcting to nominal) 13010491434: Error (CycleTimerHelper?.cpp)[ 508] Execute: negative step: -6383674302.787433! (correcting to nominal) 13010691448: Error (CycleTimerHelper?.cpp)[ 508] Execute: negative step: -6457904604.647587! (correcting to nominal) 13010891442: Error (CycleTimerHelper?.cpp)[ 508] Execute: negative step: -6534075049.204482! (correcting to nominal) 13011091439: Error (CycleTimerHelper?.cpp)[ 508] Execute: negative step: -6612185921.561870! (correcting to nominal)

They appear about 5-10 times a second. Functionality doesn't seem to be affected though - sound plays just fine. I do get some XRUNs now and then though, but I'm not sure they're related to these errors.

I'm attaching the full output log of the above command.

Hi, is this still an issue?

And is this an issue when you use -n3 -p1024 or lower values of -p? My experience tells me that sometimes stability does increase when using packet sizes below 1024...

Replying to arnonym:

Yes, this is still an issue with -p 1024, 512 and 256. Running jackd 0.118+svn3796-1ubuntu2 and ffado 2.0.0-1ubuntu1 (Lucid). Should I try with ffado/jack from SVN as well?
