Pulseaudio configuration

[Sani]

Hi. This is my first post on any Linux forum. I'm a novice Linux user. I changed the default-sample-format and default-sample-rate in daemon.conf and restarted pulseaudio from the Terminal and even restarted my PC but my settings do nothing. Although I changed the default-sample-format to s24le and default-sample-rate to 96000, pacmd list-sinks | grep "sample spec" returns the following output.

sample spec: s16le 2ch 44100Hz
sample spec: s16le 2ch 44100Hz

Changing these may not make any noticeable difference since I have cheap earbuds. I'm more interested in learning. I would really appreciate it if someone pointed out what I'm doing wrong.

On how to configure (pulseaudio): edit with sudo and your favorite editor "/etc/pulse/daemon.conf" and look for the following lines:

; default-sample-format = s16le
; default-sample-rate = 44100

uncomment by removing the ';' and change settings to your liking. E.g.:

default-sample-format = s16le
default-sample-rate = 44100

Then restart pulseaudio (with your user account, no sudo):

pulseaudio -k

This is my config and how to I use after a new install. Change to your needs.

Code: Select all

Audio change for the better


pacmd lists-sinks | grep sample



xed admin:///etc/pulse/daemon.conf

change:

; resample-method = speex-float-1
resample-method = src-sinc-medium-quality

; default-sample-format = s16le
default-sample-format = s24le

; default-sample-rate = 44100
default-sample-rate = 48000

save


pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio --start

pacmd list-sinks | grep sample

done
