Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] ALC662 audio card causes underruns and overruns

Wow, 12.04 (though still supported by GNU Radio!) feels ancient. Any particular reason you stick with that?

Thank you for your suggestions.
The card supports 96 KHz and I'm using hw. I'll try to use plughw.
I've solved this problem upgrading to the latest kernel in 12.04 which is 3.13.0-62.

Murray

Also make sure that the ALC662 also supports the audio sampling rate
you're using -- 44100 is the only rate I've been able to use on any
platform [1].
