On Monday morning a direct lightning hit to the building where two of our
stations have their studios took out several thousand dollars worth of
equipment, including the ASI sound cards in the Rivendell playout systems
for the two stations. The exact card we were using is no longer in
production, so we ordered two new ASI5810's. When we put them in, they
weren't recognized by CentOS 6 and Rivendell couldn't see them.
The 5810's require at least version 4.18 of the asihpi driver, and the
version we had been using was 4.16. Newer versions will not install on
CentOS 6.
On CentOS 7 at a different station, I was able to install one of the newer
drivers but Rivendell wouldn't see it.
While I have not yet tried to use a 5810 under Debian 9, I think ASI and I
have come to the parting of the ways. It's clear from the disappearance of
cards such as the M-Audio Delta and Echo MIA from the marketplace that the
industry is moving way from analog audio, and those of us who still
maintain analog plants may have to rely on USB adapters and external
matchboxes (which install without trouble on pretty much anything).
What sound cards are y'all using for new Rivendell systems these days?
