Full realtime kernels (RT_PREEMPT) may provide slightly better realtime audio than a PREEMPT_DYNAMIC/preempt=full kernel, but the PREEMPT_DYNAMIC kernel should be perfectly adequate. As a point of reference, current versions of Ubuntu Studio uses a PREEMPT_DYNMAIC/preempt=full kernel, and the maintainers of Ubuntu Studio consciously chose to not install an RT_PREEMPT kernel. If you are having problems with intermittent audio dropouts that occur very infrequently, you may want to try an RT_PREEMPT kernel instead. The pre-built Ubuntu RT_PREEMPT kernel can be installed using `apt` but is only available if you have an Ubuntu Pro subscription. Ubuntu Pro is free for non-commercial use.
