Hi, Has pulseaudio/pipewire got to the stage where we can specify output channels in our own way? For instance, I use a Behringer UMC1820 for sound input/output. It's a multichannel thing, over 10 inputs and outputs. You can record multichannel, that works fine (usually). Occasionally there's some restarting/rebooting fights to get things working with Audacity (internal sound versus USB), and working at the correct speeds (playback being slower than record, not knowing if one or both were off-speed). It might only take a system ding, or a website sound, to suddenly make Audacity play slowly (speed and pitch change). That kind of issue isn't too surprising, all things considered. I don't know if there's always a preset internal bitrate that pulseaudio transcodes on demand, or it switches bitrates all the time to track the input sources and output devices. I mostly worked in 44100 bitrates suited to CD audio, though now I'm trialling 48000 commonly used for video applications, since compact disc usage is getting rarer. Multichannel playback is another issue. The OS thinks its a surround sound system. So for the few things that can do more than two-channel stereo, it thinks the other outputs are a specific use for front, back, side, left, right, which aren't actually the case. It would be good if there was a way to specify the purpose of each output in a custom way, or even just have general purpose channel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. Bye, Tim. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.71.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 28 15:37:28 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
