I have a USB Microphone by Blue model is the snowball. Anyway there seems to be a sampling rate issue or something like that. I have searched for a while haven't really found any solutions and I thought I could use the .asoundrc file to change the sample rate or have it convert the sample rate to fix this issue. But I haven't had much luck with that. It might be cause I'm relativly new to it. Here is what I have noticed though. Using Audacity I record using the USB Mic. no matter what settings I use meaning sample rate, bits, etc. It is always recording in double time "somehow". Meaning when I watch it record for every real 1 second in time 2 seconds of audio is recorded. If I use a sample rate of 22050 while recording then during playback change the sample rate to 44100 the audio will sound normal. This is what gave me the Idea of using the asoundrc. But I've played with it with verious options and I am always still getting the same result. I have see this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1001144 where they are using Jack Audio where tye have the smaple rate set with asoundrc to a rate then setting the route when Jackd is run to a lower rate. I believe Effectivly doing what I was doing in audacity. I'm wondering if this can actually be done with the asoundrc config, or if there is some other fix that might be applied to the USB audio driver. Any advice is greatly apprciated. Below is the current state of my asoundrc.
