alsaUnderrun=disable'
You should manually copy the new configuration file
cd /opt/diretta-alsa/
sudo cp setting.inf.pacnew setting.inf

Changed default system time service from systemd-timesyncd to the more powerful chronyd
For more information:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chrony
'Chrony is a versatile and powerful time synchronization tool for Linux systems. It combines the functions of a client and a server, allowing for synchronization with external time sources while also serving as a time server for other systems. This feature is advantageous in environments where maintaining a local time server is preferred or necessary'

Updated camilladsp gui configuration. You should re-configure camilladsp with the option in Audio extra menu

Web Interface 1 (wetty) disabled because incompatible with last nodejs
Otherwise wetty will produce a lot of coredump files in /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ that could fill your installation drive
Moreover it was a security risk and last upstream version is not working
Please use ssh audiolinux@ipaddress (recommended) or the other Web Interface at ipaddress:5001

General cleaning of special update scripts

Improved Diretta scripts in Audio extra menu are now compatible with Diretta salsa
If you are using Diretta you should update the packages diretta-alsa-daemon, diretta-alsa-dkms, diretta-memory-player if installed and reboot
The new diretta-alsa-daemon is using the systemd service diretta_alsa instead of diretta_alsa_single and it should be changed automatically with menu update if enabled

In 8 'COPY/BACKUP current installation to another drive' (System menu) added a check that /mnt directory is not already mounted to some drive and will copy files only if the target destination drive is really mounted

Now a Menu update will not change the list of applications with realtime priority used by rtapp and saved to /etc/rtpriority/rtapp.conf

Improved Ravenna audio over IP configuration
Note: You cannot use Merging ravenna-alsa with Raspberry, but AES67 linux daemon
Added 4) Recommended system settings to 6 'RAVENNA/AES67 audio over IP installation' (Audio extra menu) with the following content:
0) If you have 2 Ethernet outputs, go to System menu ->  'NETWORK configuration (Bridge, DHCP, Static IP, DNS)', enable bridge and conenct one output to router and the other directly to Ravenna DAC
1) Disable rtapp and rtirqs in System menu -> 'REALTIME PRIORITY configuration'
2) If you have 2 Ethernet ports and the Ravenna DAC is connected DIRECTLY to one, you could enable rtnet in System menu -> 'REALTIME PRIORITY configuration' with a priority of 90
3) Disable Ethernet card Power saving in Expert menu -> 'NETWORK/USB power saving'
4) Activate Merging configuration in Expert menu -> 'NETWORK CARD configuration' taking off # in front of the corresponding lines
5) Merging documentation:
https://merging.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PUBLICDOC/pages/4817173/RAVENNA+ASIO+recommended+Network+Adapter

Added options
10 'DIRETTA memory play'
11 'DIRETTA memory play configuration'
to Audio extra menu
These options will install and configure Diretta Memory Player
While Diretta Host is sending your music to a virtual card, Diretta Memory Player will load your music files to RAM and send them to Diretta Target without using Alsa on the host
This approach could improve the audio quality but you will not be able to use your preferred player (including upsampling, convolution etc.) and the selection of files to be played it's not so easy
In alternative you can control Memory Player on Audiolinux with the Windows Memory Play Controller that you can download from Diretta site
Enabling Memory Player will disable automatically Diretta Host
Please be sure that Diretta target is running on your endpoint PC

'For problems related to the switch from Logitech media server to Lyrion Media server this option could not install a working LMS
Luckily logitechmediaserver-git is working
You can install it with
yay -Sy logitechmediaserver-git --noconfirm
(long...)
After you should disable logitechmediaserver in Audio menu, since that option will use logitechmediaserver-bin
To enable it at boot you should go to console and type:
sudo systemctl enable --now  logitechmediaserver-git
To disable it:
sudo systemctl disable --now  logitechmediaserver-git
For the moment you will have to enable/disable it manually'

Example configuration:

RTMANUAL="1"   
RTEXPERT="0"
PRIORITY="standard"
CPUSPEED=""
BOOT="extreme"
ISOLATED="0"
ISOLATEDIRQ="0"
SAMBA=""

# RTMANUAL: realtime manual assignment        "1" enabled, "0" disabled
# RTEXPERT: realtime expert configuration     "1" enabled, "0" disabled
# PRIORITY: realtime priority             "standard", "extreme"
# CPUSPEED: CPU frequency             "performance", "ondemand" not available in realtime kernel
# BOOT: boot mode                   "standard", "extreme", "custom"
# If you have configured boot mode with "SET CPU C-states" in Expert menu, set this to an empty value
# ISOLATED: isolate a set of cores               "0" disabled, <core number> (first is 0, not available) or an interval of cores
# For example 1-2 will isolate core 1,2 / 1-3 wil isolate core 1,2,3 / 2 will isolate only core 2
# If enabled, all audio services will be disabled and hyper-threading disabled even if set to 1 (enabled) on this configuration file
# You can re-enable your audio services after reboot
# ISOLATEDIRQ: isolate audio irqs                "1" enabled, "0" disabled
# This will disable C-state configuration in expert menu
# SAMBA: samba server                 "1" enabled, "0" disabled

# IMPORTANT: if value is empty your configuration will not be changed.
# This is useful if you have applied some special configuration, for example if you have activated C-state in expert menu
# Example: BOOT=""
