You better install a real-time kernel.
Strange is it seems there is no "linux-rt" in Debian repos but outside.

Realtime kernel
The Debian Multimedia team is not working on including a kernel image
with the realtime-patches applied in Debian. Much of the realtime-patches
have been accepted in the mainline kernel, to the point that for most
purposes the stock Debian kernel is suitable even for realtime-like work.
If you'd like to use a kernel with the realtime-patches applied anyway,
you might want to consider adding the pengutronix repository from http://
www.pengutronix.de/software/linux-rt/debian_en.html .
