I wish I can say my experience with the pi and my one dac which is a 24/192 bit dac using the c-media 6631 chip. No matter what I do I can not get clean sound out of the unit. The same goes with hdmi, the output has blips and clicks in the audio. My other dac which is a usb audio class 1.0 with a max of 16/44.1K bit rate works well with the pi. I ran some tests with my new dac on a computer running linux mint 14. Configured alsa and removed pulseaudio and the new dac works pretty well. Still have the issue with switching between different rates, but the audio output is clean and sounds great. So I have come to the conclusion that the pi's usb has issues working with usb audio class 2.0. Hopefully this can be worked out with updates to the pi's usb drivers?
For now I will be using a spare amd E-350 latop running linux mint 14 to stream my music to the new dac. I will have to rethink my 2 channel setup for my livingroom. In other words, due I return my new dac and get something like the cambridge dacmagic plus that is known to work well with linux or do I give up on using the pi with this setup and find another squeezelite client solution. - Garrett ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garrettwp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58373 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
