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

OK to use minimum install of desktop version. But I had issues using minimum install of 22.04 server version. SO would not run, but no idea why.

Just don't use other than the standard server install. The minimum server install leaves out several packages needed for the Snakeoil GUI.
You can install those afterwards but best to use the standard install.
No need for the full Ubuntu desktop nor the minimal server.

Goldilocks !!  and the bears... just use the server version and the wiki

Download the legacy 20.04 server version and install it then upgrade to 22.04 then do the Snakeoil install.

I can not use ubuntu server because (usbc) network adapter does not work with ubuintu server

I assume you are using USB.  Have you tried another USB port and another USB cable? Also, what version of Ubuntu was it previously working with?

Yes USB dac. I think it was version 23.04 from Ubuntu that was the problem. Installed  22.04.2 LTS . Works now.

Did you install the low latency kernel, or even the real time kernel yet?
