I upgraded my node yesterday morning, then left it sitting in monitor mode on a node all day. When I checked this morning, audio was about 7 seconds behind real time when comparing to another local node running 3.9.3, also using usbradio. PTT was firing when it should, but audio was extremely delayed, meaning a transmission would be seemingly cut off about 7 seconds too soon when PTT dropped. If someone keyed during the window when my node wasn't transmitting, I'd get the remainder of the previous transmission, silence, then the start of the next one all in the same transmission. This is on a simplex node. Received audio seems to be OK. Only transmitted audio is affected. It gradually became more and more delayed over time. Restarting Asterisk (mostly) fixes it, but latency is still not quite what it was at it's best with 3.9.3 and older. ---

Interesting ... and it does look like we're slowly collecting transmit audio frames. ---

Q? you commented that you monitoring a single node all day. - was this a single connection over the entire time interval? - or were you connecting / disconnecting during the day? - and would other nodes have been connecting / disconnecting from your node during the day? ---

This node can't currently accept incoming connections. CGNAT with no compensation, currently. It is set up for that but is not currently active, so no one can connect or disconnect from my node. I literally just left it in monitor mode on a single mode all day and touched nothing. No commands, no transmitting to the node, just monitor mode and ran away, basically. > **···** > > Sent from my zippo > > > On Aug 27, 2026, at 16:21, Allan N [noreply@community.allstarlink.org](mailto:noreply@community.allstarlink.org) wrote: > > > Someone replied to a topic you are Watching. > > > > > ![](https://community.allstarlink.org/user_avatar/community.allstarlink.org/wa3wco/45/3123_2.png "WA3WCO") | [WA3WCO](https://community.allstarlink.org/u/wa3wco) ASL Community Admin > > > August 27 | > > > > > > - | - | > > > > Q? you commented that you monitoring a single node all day. > > > > - was this a single connection over the entire time interval? > > - or were you connecting / disconnecting during the day? > > - and would other nodes have been connecting / disconnecting from your node during the day? > > > > * * * > > > > [Visit Topic](https://community.allstarlink.org/t/creeping-delay-using-usbradio-on-asl3-3-10-4/24954/3) or reply to this email to respond. > > > > You are receiving this because you enabled mailing list mode. > > > > To unsubscribe from these emails, click here. ---

I too want to thank you for testing and letting us know. These types of bugs can be difficult to find/notice. We should have a fix soon. ---

We made a few changes that should help reduce the delay. The updated **asl3-asterisk 22.10.1+asl3-3.10.5-1** packages are now in the "beta" stream.
