Not all platforms had distortion when usbradio was being used.
The 'other' distribution had a patch applied to it nearly three
years ago. Recently, the ACID distribution had the fix applied to
it. This will resolve any audio distortion that may have been
present when using usbradio. The patch is not applied
automatically. In other words, any new installations will
automatically be running the new, fixed version, and any old
installations will not be effected unless you choose to re-do the
tuning.<br>

Thanks go out to Jim - WB6NIL for patching the code where this
problem was concerned.<br>

While there may be instances where simpleusb is desired,
especially on horsepower challenged platforms, there are no longer
any distortion issues that would be circumvented by using
simpleusb. As such, usbradio is fine as the default as it is
simpler to use and works just fine for most applications of this
technology.<br>

about usbradio. On the BBB I highly recommend simpleusb and
that is the default setup mode. In general I would recommend
simpleusb for Allstar on all platforms unless there is
something you absolutely need on usbradio. The dsp code can
and does often cause audio distortion depending on what system
you are running it on. I have often seen the problem on PC's
as well as small board computers. Unfortunately the default
for the Acid release is usbradio and I have helped quite a few
Acid users switch to simpleusb with greatly improved audio. So
until the usbradio code gets updated I would stick with
simpleusb.<br id="FontBreak">
