Chip,
Thank you. The would explain the harshness i am hearing too. It actually
hurts. I have to turn the volume way down from where i usually listen, and
i don't listen that loud anyway. I mean, granted i now it's not gonna
sound like a high-end product but this is ridiculous.
I suppose they are only testing on computer desktop speakers where you
wouldn't even hear the grain.
No they assume Windows which does decent quality resampling in kernel-space.
The long term solution IMHO is for ALSA to select a higher quality
resampler by default.
Short term solution is to use an app that does its own high quality
resampling and always run the card at 48Khz.
