Set up JRiver Media Center 24 in Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint

Hmmm, that's interesting. I tested this before applying the thread priority fixes and observed this audio problem. So I'm seeing the same issue with Ubuntu and Debian. I'm using the coax digital connection on the motherboard. This same hardware used to run Windows and don't remember having this issue under Windows, although I'm not absolutely certain I tested the coax digital connection then.

The current thread code only sets the output thread to REALTIME (priority 1) and adjusts the TS priorities of the other threads.
You PS is as expected.
The reason you don't have to enter the stuff in the limits is that MC does that now as part of the package installation. As long as your user is in the audio group you should be good to go.
dcpete:
Ok. Thanks for that info. How do I verify my user is in the audio group? I didn't see any errors when I added to the group, so assumed all went well.

Your PS shows it's working...

Ok, I was assuming the onboard audio had gone bad on this motherboard, so I went out and bought a known good soundcard that works in Linux. It is an Asus Xonar DGX and has a toslink connector. The soundcard works fine in my machine, but I am still getting a stuttering/dropout while playing music under MC. It's not really subtle. It's pretty noticable. I mean I can hear a wobble every 10/20 secs or so. So it seems it's a MC/Linux thing still. I'm on the latest MC 24.0.74 and running the supported OS. It's an older motherboard but should be more than up to the task. It's an Asus P5B which has a quad core Intel processor and an Nvidia GTX950 video card and 8G memory. Everything else seems to run perfectly on this machine. I'm going digital direct into my Denon receiver.
I also just tested another Windows machine that I use for backup mainly. Running the latest Windows version of MC (24.0.74) off the onboard toslink to the same receiver, same input, it's perfectly fine.
The thread priority thing sure sounded promising and seemed like it would have explained the symptoms I am seeing. So I am at a loss now. It seems to be something tied to my hardware (and not the soundcard/chip) and Linux/MC.
Thanks for the suggestions so far. Much appreciated.
