WARNING:-
OLD KERNELS & FDRVS SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH WOOF-CE PUPPIES CREATED AFTER 2022.
STRUCTURAL CHANGES WILL LIKELY CAUSE CORRUPTION.

Superseded.

If you still want to try it (with old puppies only), it is in Kernel archive:

I can't believe you've updated the kernel again :lol: :thumbup:

I did not realise that updates were so readily available..... in my mind I thought these took time ie a few months in between to be updated.

Previous updates have given me back some RAM which I have appreciated and now I know the difference between the low-latency kernels.

Once again, I have to ask, if I am still using the 17 Dec 2022 fdrv (which is also provided in your post), there should be no difference with ALSA/PulseAudio usage?

BTW I did ask if your Jammy Development ISO was available to download? Which kernel would that be using? TBH I am looking for updated components eg GlibC etc to use for compiling.

@Jasper - kernel sources are updated about every 5 days. It then takes me about 3 hours to compile, test & upload a new kernel.
The 17dec22 fdrv won't need updating for 6-12 months (doesn't change that often) & if your audio works now, no updates needed.
In the 6.x kernels, drivers like rtw88_8821ce began to work, needing new firmware, which I put in the 17dec22 fdrv. Occurs infrequently.
The jammypup64 overlayfs experiment I did is now redundant. Better options (from others) will appear in the next few months.

Official kernels are now being produced as github artefacts, & I expect my methods to become redundant sometime this year.

Thanks for the speedy reply and the detailed answer, it's appreciated as is the time it takes you to work on these.

For some reason, I am always cautious regarding kernel upgrades, unsure as to why :lol: as "so far so good" :thumbup2:

Many thanks!
