Re: [LAU] 24-bit files and hisss.... GOT IT

in my asound.conf i added a pcm.dmixer and added these options: rate 96000 channels 6 Then i added a pcm.!default pcm.dmixer line. Now they play! What's even better is that i actually seems to be *upsampling*! Regular old 16/44.1 flac files have a lot more detail. Listening to them with the dmixer set up that way i can hear performers breathing. It's not a subtle difference. I asked my partner to come into the room and listen (with out telling her what i was switching off/on and she said "Wow! That one sounds so much more alive!" This is something that is normally reserved for multi-thousand dollar cd players and i'm doing it for nothing! I love you Alsa! My avi movie files loose sound when i have the pcm.dmixer on, but big deal. i can just uncomment that default line and save the file. I've got the file open via screen+emacs so no big deal. -- Bearcat M.
