@thingsiplay @lemmy.ca A normal preemptive kernel with 1000HZ tick will usually provide sub 1ms latency which for most audio is adequate.
That said, I just built 6.12.0 and the display drivers for UHD630 graphics appear to be broken, at least when compiled for realtime. I am going to go re-compile it normal pre-emptive as I normally do and see if it has the same issues. It booted, and got up to the point where it executed /etc/rc.local because it turned on my keyboard leds, but the screen never displayed.
If you wish to try I have built for both debian and redhat based systems, you can download the install packages, .deb or .rpm at:
