Yes, that is true. Most people that uses Laptops are not aware of the cpufreq "thing". The reality is that Ubuntu uses cpufreq as default with the "ondemand" preset. To have control over it just install the Cpu scaling Applet in the gnome bar and then change the preset. I always use performance on audio. IMPORTANT!!!!! If you have more than 1 CPU aka dual core, quad core, octa core, you should install and applet and assign it to each cpu !!!!!!! When you change the preset in one applet it only changes it for ONE CPU!!!! <div class="gmail_quote">2009/11/11 Q <<a href="mailto:lists@quirq.ukfsn.org">lists@quirq.ukfsn.org</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Thank you for posting this question and the background to it. Ever since I installed 9.10, I've been unable to run certain Ardour sessions (the biggest ones), with it constantly getting kicked off JACK no matter what settings I used. I actually resorted to compiling a newer version of Ardour, the first time I've ever done such a thing! I installed a freq scaling control app (I didn't even need to tinker with it) and with scaling turned off everything works the way it should, quick and simple. Thanks again!
