Falsely Configured 24 bit Output(?)
Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2018 5:20 pm
Intro/backstory; can skip to next paragraph:
Hello! This is my first post, am totally new, so sorry if it's not on the most appropriate board, irrelevant to this forum in general, etc.
I have recently been enlightened in finding that running a JACK server session for audio outputs that have a sample rate that is higher than 41khz and then stopping said session when decent audio quality isn't required and using PulseAudio is completely unnecessary.
I now utilize the infinitely less tedious and better sounding method of using PulseAudio with a properly configured /pulse/daemon.conf, which automatically switches my DAC between 41khz and 96khz depending on the current output.
Main issue:
I am unsure if my DAC is properly outputting 24 bit audio. This could be due to numerous things, including insufficiently sensitive ears, and I would like your help in pinpointing which thing(s) is(are) causing the issue.
What led me to this suspicion is the output of "pacmd list-sink-inputs" when playing 24 bit music from Clementine (ignore title of actual pastebin, woops): https://pastebin.com/ETzYtR9n
I have set the default sample format to float32le, so I should have 32 bit playback by default, no?
Here's my daemon.conf: https://pastebin.com/aWteXwKM
Appreciate any help of course, thanks
