Good morning!(i am back from the dead).
I think the best would be that I first pinpoint which parameter was the culprit (also given what I read it might be related to which sound card we use). Then we could see whether a short tutorial or a script would be the best. My first idea was to do an installation video of Archlinux fron scratch for Pro-audio, however i can understand that you would like to use your own distribution. I will try to see tonight (if i have time) what exactly was the issue and then explain how to solve it. Hopefully i could have a better understanding of what happened.
