John, Your other option is to keep your new motherboard and URI. Though ACID does not support newer motherboards, Debian should. I have built a Debian bare metal AllStar install image. It will take you from a fresh HD to running AllStar server. You will then have to edit your config files in /etc/asterisk. The link to the image is at: <https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar/wiki/X86-Debian-Bare-Metal-Install> I will be happy to answer any questions you have. This is built from the current source on the SVN. 73, Steve N4IRS

Hi, We have used URIs in some radio projects, its a great product.

But we can't make it work on "new" PCs. We are using the Centos (ACID) ISO image with Asterisk. In the new PCs there are some problems with the audio.

David Kramer from DMK Engineering Inc. Told me that "You are correct in that some newer PCs have very poor hardware support under Linux. Specifically the USB drivers are buggy. The only suggestions we can offer are to 1) try using a different motherboard or 2) use an older PC that as you noted seem to work better."

- Which kind of new motherboards work OK with ACID + URIs? - Is there some alternative to the URIs that don't use USB?

Thanks in advance Best Regards John
