hello again,

Don’t you suffer from noise?
I have a noise anytime I run any sound app and the sound modul wakes up
I have tried many realtime kernels, but still, the noise is there.

Thanks man for the manual
I behalf of you work, and also because I like your music I have put one of yours songs on our online radio http://monkeyontheorb.org

btw. in my case I use Asus T91, because it has touch screen, so I do not have to use the annoying mouse
thanks again 2046

Excellent – thanks for these step-by-step instructions!

You might consider adding jackd as a service at boot. Open /etc/default/jackd in a text editor, change “START_DAEMON=no” to “START_DAEMON=yes” and save.

Hi! Great post and very usefull! I own a home recording studio and a Asus eeepc (4G) with Ubuntu that have only used for ofimatics. If I could use it for recording it would be awsome, even if I would have to buy an external USB soundcard (that I think would be the best option). Any way, my answer is: Have you tried to install Ubuntu Studio in the Eee Pc? What is the difference between doing all this stuff you recommend here and installing Ubuntu Studio that is only 1.4 Gb (at least the ISO image)? Thanks!!

It looks like the Eee PC’s all use a Realtek ACL269 DAC/ADC after the Intel controller (http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Asus_Eee_PC_901), which according to Realtek (http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=27&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=166) supports up to 24bit @ 96kHz recording (and up to 24-bit 192kHz playback)… so I guess my question then is really does the Eee PC and/or Linux drivers support those modes?

PS – I’m not interesting in recording to disk at those rates… I doubt the Eee PC could handle that… more interested in performing some audio RTA… though efficient CPU coding will become an interesting challenge at those rates!

PPS – Sorry to have ever-so-slightly hijacked your post…

Great use for an Eee PC!

Just wondering (and I can’t seem to find anywhere else), what recording rates are supported by the Eee PC? (or at least your model?). eg 16-bit @ 44kHz? 24-bit @ 96kHz? The Intel HD Audio chip the Eee PCs use supports up to 32-bit @ 384kHz (wow!!) but I doubt anyone’s implemented such a high rate with those chips.

If I get my hands on an Eee PC sometime I’ll check it out for myself, but in the meantime, it would be cool if you could have a quick look for me

thanks!
