like to know more about your setups, Jay's that are working

mine:</font></font></p>

that I can say is that we run minimal setups (least possible

and we are sure to use the correct audio COR interfaces etc...
We also are meticulous in setting up levels using service
monitors of all of the radios themselves. I help to maintain a
large system (That Skyler has used frequently in the past) which
is primarily run on PIs and we have not had any of the issues
that you guys are experiencing. Wish I could be of more help,
but I truly do not believe that it's an issue caused by the Pi.

I am using DIAL Full DSP with tone encode and decode. Some
units have 2 or 3 or nodes. Even a single node pi does it.<br>
So if you have a magic set up that fixes this I would like

Pcs dont seem to suffer from the motor boating issue.<br>

I’ll have to disagree with your statements
completely. I have not only personally load-tested
but I have and know of many high traffic systems that
are running with zero “sputter” or issue.l on a Pi.
Several have been on the air and running for well over
a year.<br>
<br>
I am also running one system in conjunction with
DMRLink and transcoding audio (read a much heavier
demand on System resources) from DMR<-> Analog
with no “sputter”. Granted the transcoding is
offloaded to a separate chip but nonetheless. On all
of these systems running on a Pi 2 or 3 the system
load from asterisk, DMRLink etc all combined never
exceeds 15% and the audio is always clean ( not
withstanding network craziness ).<br>
<br>
So having said all of this I would look elsewhere for
what may be causing your audio ailments. I can’t
really point you in a specific direction other than to
review overall system load and performance inline with
general system administration best practices. And of
course standard troubleshooting methods of hardware
swapping/testing and validation.<br>

At this point, I don't think the raspberry pi audio
is as good as it could be on the raspberry pi. Even
with a pi 3 on the best settings in usbradio, it
will sputter every once and a while I realize Doug
has implemented a precision timer, however, his
image is not open source, and I cannot modify,
therefore not an option for me.<br>
<br>
What is the best mini computer hardware available
for reasonable prices nowadays that I could use in
place of the pi? The raspberry pi arm architecture
just does not seem to cut the current versions of
AllStar and DAHDI. I realize how picky I am being,
but I am sort of going crazy by some raspberry pi
nodes i've put together with crazy sputtering
issues. And the telemetry sometimes sounds like it
is played at 1/2 speed. U<br>
<br>
Usbradio and simpleusb have their different
problems, but neither seem to work ok. I would
actually argue usbradio works better on the pi
because it does not have an unreliable duplex audio
delay.<br>
<br>
Do ATOM processers work well? Best suggestions here
for something lightweight and non power-hungry?<br>
<br>
Thank You!<br>
