sound card: IntelHD alsa version: 2.6.31-r6 pulseaudio version: 0.9.19 mpd version: 0.15.5 disto: gentoo amd64 Sound file format: Flac Folks, What i would like to be able to do is to play music files at their native rates. I realize that my sound card's rates begin at 48khz, so 44.1khz files may have to be upsampled in any case. That's not preferable but that's alright. However, i'd like to be able to play 96 khz files and 192 khz files at their respective rates with out resulting to upsampling. If i have to upsample everything to 192khz to avoid downsampling files to 48 khz i'll do that but it's not ideal. So, i'm running an mpd player which feeds into pulse audio which feeds into alsa. Do i need to configure all 3 to handle this or should it be working "out of the box"? I've looked around for some sort of display which will tell me at what rate the files are being played in but i can't find one and i don't know if for instance, mpd is passing them in 96 khz or 192 and pulse is down converting, or if mpd and pulse are passing them in 96 khz or 192 and alsa is down converting or something. How can i verify this is working when it's set up? Going by ear may not be reliable. Am i best off just setting up the system to upconvert to 192k? I think that might cause distortion. Right? If so, i'd need set that up in mpd, and pulse and alsa right? Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated. I'll happily give more info if wanted. Thanks a lot, -- Bearcat M.
