Snakeoil Firmware - 1.2.11 (Gear Isolation U11)

Hi there!  It's been over a year since I peeked into the Forums to check the status of everything, and even longer since I went through the install process.  Been running on 1.2.something with JRiver 27, but will be trying out the latest over the weekend.

I'm a little fuzzy on the install process.  Do I need to start with 1.2.6 and load every firmware update up-to and including 1.2.11, or does 1.2.11 include all the updates in-between?

Note:  This will be a clean install of Ubuntu 22.04LTS and SnakeOil on a seperate drive.  Not upgrading the existing setup.

If you're starting from the ordinary Ubuntu desktop distro, then please choose "Minimum Installation" for much unnecessary softwares.  

And then after successfully installed, please type a command to replace the kernel with the lowlatency kernel.  That will significantly improve sound quality in all aspects.

If you would like to further enhance the sound quality, of course the RT kernel is the best and you can directly install RT kernel from ordinary kernel, without installing Low Latency kernel.  But you need to go thru some more simple and straightforward steps.

And after everything is set, you may play around with the clocksource.  To me, HPET let me enjoy the sound much more than TSC.

Have fun!

what is the command for replacing the kernel with lowlatency kernel

 

Code:

sudo apt install linux-lowlatency

hi,
I installed the low latency kernel, but, no hpet  option in my system ( only tsc and acpi_pm are avalable)
