Reading some threads over on the LINRAD reflector, it seems that Leif has found that computers that have some combination of PCI and PCIe slots in them do not run sound applications well. Not sure why - or if it is relevant here, since we are running USB sound. I think I remember reading that someone had a USB problem once that was alleviated by adding one MORE fob .. GL & 73 Ken

It seemed to work OK - although there were a flurry of warning messages (and maybe 1 error message) during the compile phase of asterisk install.
The kind of problem you describe can happen when the O/S does something it considers more important than handling your audio .. (asterisk runs at a relative low priority). Did your OS install put any extra stuff in there (like GUI) or Java or something?
Nope. I just tried to renice asterisk...moved it to -15...still hiccup'd...went all the way to -19...still happens (though not as often...).
I was thinking along the same line re prioritization of running processes while chewing on a burger at Red Robin with the bride earlier...but was leaning more towards the on-board usb hardware was somehow not as robust (?) as the one in the laptop..but dismissed that out of hand.
built it as a server, no gui, no extraneous stuff.
