Hm, I haven't seen this on Linux so far. Would be interesting to see if
only the time measurement goes wrong (could be caused by CPU frequency
scaling etc.), or if something is actually going wrong with the device
or transfers.
My two cents is that something is up with the actual data transmission, because I'm quite sure that the output signal gets corrupted or shifted out of frequency. The CPU is set to maximum performance, but turbo boost could effectively bring the frequency up by 200-300 MHz.
I'm on a laptop with an i7 4710HQ.
fl2k_test outputs a rectangle signal, do you have an oscilloscope or an
SDR you could use to check if the signal disappears when the measured
sample rate starts to get strange?
Yes, I have a RTL-SDR, but I can't get my hands on it until next week. I will update you when I will manage to perform some tests.
I can try on a live Linux distro if fl2k_test works correctly there, though.

Steve
Thank you!
