A bit unlucky but at least now I know that the tunnel sink doesn't switch the sample rate â?? after you initiate a server connection, right? So, to be sure, what happens when I start a 48 kHz stream on my client? > But Iâ??m afraid my client could still be sending a resampled 41,1 kHz signal to the server. > Also, no idea if the 24-bit format is preserved or cut to 16-bit (I play a lot video tracks in 24-bit). Your other suggested method via hard coding the PA remote server doesnâ??t work for my setup because I want to use a native sound card + usb sound card on the client too. Thanks for your highly appreciated response and sorry for my late answer now! 24.07.2017 22:20 Tanu Kaskinen: > On Sun, 2017-07-23 at 02:59 +0200, Maximilian Böhm wrote: >> Hello, Iâ??m very happy that I finally got PulseAudioâ??s awesome network >> sink feature set up.
