alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #413 was opened from linuxandos2: Playing a flac with a samplerate higer than 96000 with audacious gives: > _ALSA error: snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format failed: Invalid argument._ Output device for audacious is hw:1.0 - USB Audio the device is a soudbaster blasterx G6. output of _cat /proc/asound/card1/stream0_ > Creative Technology Ltd Sound BlasterX G6 at usb-0000:00:14.0-4.1, high speed : > USB Audio > > Playback: > Status: Stop > Interface 1 > Altset 1 > Format: S24_3LE > Channels: 2 > Endpoint: 0x01 (1 OUT) (ASYNC) > Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000 > Data packet interval: 125 us > Bits: 24 > Channel map: FL FR > Sync Endpoint: 0x81 (1 IN) > Sync EP Interface: 1 > Sync EP Altset: 1 > Implicit Feedback Mode: No > Interface 1 > Altset 2 > Format: S32_LE > Channels: 2 > Endpoint: 0x01 (1 OUT) (ASYNC) > Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000 > Data packet interval: 125 us > Bits: 32 > Channel map: FL FR > Sync Endpoint: 0x81 (1 IN) > Sync EP Interface: 1 > Sync EP Altset: 2 > Implicit Feedback Mode: No > > Capture: > Status: Stop > Interface 2 > Altset 1 > Format: S24_3LE > Channels: 2 > Endpoint: 0x82 (2 IN) (ASYNC) > Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000 > Data packet interval: 125 us > Bits: 24 > Channel map: FL FR > Interface 2 > Altset 2 > Format: S32_LE > Channels: 2 > Endpoint: 0x82 (2 IN) (ASYNC) > Rates: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000 > Data packet interval: 125 us > Bits: 32 > Channel map: FL FR > linux: gentoo kernel: 6.9.9-gentoo-x86_64 alsa-lib-1.2.12 alsa-topology-conf-1.2.5.1 alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.12 alsa-plugins-1.2.12 alsa-utils-1.2.12 selecting > pulse - PulseAudio Sound Server in audacious results in no sound and audacious hangs. Pipewire and wireplumber are used. On an old gentoo- system on another partition all samplerates play successfully. kernel: linux-6.8.1-gentoo the versions of alsa are: alsa-lib-1.2.10-r2 alsa-topology-conf-1.2.5.1 alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.10-r1 alsa-plugins-1.2.7.1-r1 alsa-utils-1.2.10-r1 On the new system the 'old' kernel linux-6.8.1-gentoo is also available. Rolled back alsa-lib from alsa-lib-1.2.12 to alsa-lib-1.2.10 and booted kernel kernel linux-6.8.1-gentoo Still same problem.
