Folks, I'm a little bit confused. I have some 24-bit files that i downloaded. These files are reported by 'file' as FLAC audio bitstream data, 24 bit, 6 channels, 48 kHz, 18273600 samples I was able to play one of them at one time, a few days ago and now i am not. I hate it when people say "i don't know what changed" but i don't. All i get is hiss in the left channel from my stereo. I can play other 24-bit file fine, even 96khz tracks. I've tried mplayer, xine, and phonon (using xine) Any ideas? I am using my on-board intel hd audio. My asound.conf is as follows: cat /etc/asound.conf pcm.dmixer { type dmix ipc_key 1024 ipc_key_add_uid false ipc_perm 0660 slave { pcm "hw:0" rate 96000 format "S32_LE" period_time 0 period_size 1024 buffer_time 0 buffer_size 8192 #was 5120 } } pcm.pulse { type pulse} ctl.pulse { type pulse} -- Bearcat M.
