If nothing else it sounds exactly the same to me compared to bitperfect ALSA, but with the niceties aforementioned. īut, I can't tell if any of this has any audible effect on my output, I doubt it but I can't measure it. I also think that adjusting the replaygain in Pulse would result in 32bit integer math rather than 16bit that MPD uses internally. I mostly do this because the remote that Topping use is kind of shite (it fails to register inputs 50% of the time), and adjusting directly from MPD is simply easier from my phone/laptop. I'm personally toying with adjusting the output level and replaygain via PulseAudio, instead of using my DAC as a pre and adjusting the replaygain volume directly in MPD. ![]() But there are also some boons, such as easier to configure mixing, multi user playback (useful in a headless setup with multiple players) and remembering settings per device between reboots. Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse here - but what is the (perceived?) problem with PulseAudio? I suppose there are (a lot) less knobs to fiddle with in ALSA when compared to Pulse output. ![]() Hello there, fellow Linux user checking in! I'm using MPD on a headless Raspberry 4 to play my music. Just enter that combination as a string after the "hw:X,X". Note the # of "card" and the # of peripheral (in this case that would be "0,1"). "carte 0: PCH, périphérique 1: ALC1150 Digital ". Look at the output you would like to use.įor that device you should see a line like this (this is in french, but I assume you can translate easily ) To know what you should enter there, you will have to open a terminal. The only thing that you may have to change is the "device "hw:2,0". In your text editor, just make sure that you have something like this : Inside that folder, you should see a file called "mpd.conf". Inside that folder, you should have a folder called "mpd". Inside that folder you should have a folder called "cantata". Inside that folder, you should have a folder called "share". You should have a "local" folder that appears. To see the invisible files, hit "Ctrl - H". ![]() That file can be found (on my system) as an invisible file in the "home" folder. The problem with Cantata and gmusicbrowser is that they are not supported anymore :-( Clementine, deadbeef and even gmusicbrowser or QuodLibet allows you to da that quite easily.Īs far as I am concerned, gMusic and Quod Libet are the best choices for me. When a singer sings live, you can hear all changes of intonations in the voice when it was almost linear with headphone amp. And I must say that trying to compare the headphone out and the XLR out was quite pleasing : HP amp louder XLR : much more "lively". So I use the XLR output of the Essence One instead of the dedicated headphone amp :-( Weird but that is how it is. with one drawback : you can set gain for the headphone amp on the Essence One (where you can on the STU). So I would say it is well possible that using PulseAudio eats up a huge part of the original "message".įor me, going from Essence STU to Essence One has been a HUGE step forward. If I use ALSA, the output sample rate is equal to the original file : 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96Khz. If I use PulseAudio, the sample rate is 48khz, whatever the original file is.
