<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div>Based on recent group emails, just thought I would let you all know, I now have an untested version of Allstar running on Arch Linux 3.X.</div><div>I had to port the Zaptel ztdummy driver to Linux 3.X to try and get Allstar working on a ASUS H55 mobo that the club VK2CRZ owns...</div>
<div><br></div><div style>We have had allstar generating a test tone ( rpt fun 2393 *99) for a number of hours and the audio was fine with no dropouts etc.</div><div style>The real test will be hopefully tomorrow when I replace the current 2393 allstar repeater PC with the new Arch Linux version P55 PC</div>
<div style>Hopefully it will test out OK....:-)</div><div style><br></div><div style>I haven't packaged the code as I need to test it further but if the testing is successfull have I will upload it somewhere.... If anyone needs it ASAP let me know.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>If testing is successfull, I will also try and port it to my Raspberry PI running Arch Linux 3.2.X as my CM108 audio seems fine when plugged into the PI with this version of Unix but I haven't ported Allstar yet as I need to create an ARM version of the Arch Linux alsa-oss library....</div>

<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">but the PC is a bit old... So we bought a new Intel H55 chipset based</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">i3 mobo a few months ago to replace it (Model no is ASUS P7H55D-M Pro</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
