I used squeezelite for a long time with LMS, and i am looking to the best audio quality,
Recently i compared Squeezelite with aplay and i found that aplay sound more natural and relaxed. Squeezelite is launched with logitech media server and with argument : ARGS=-o plughw:0,0 Aplay is launced with the command : flac -c -d test.flac | aplay -D plughw:0,0 If you want to use the same buffer (200ms + period count 4) : ARGS=-o plughw:0,0 -a 200:4:32:1 flac -c -d test.flac | aplay -D plughw:0,0 --B 200000 -F 50000 You can check the buffer with : cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params I would like to know why there is a difference in sound. I thought Squeezelite was neutral and just transmit to alsa but i think it is not the case. I tried by mistake these buffer (500bytes + period count 4) : ARGS=-o plughw:0,0 -a 500:4:32:1 flac -c -d test.flac | aplay -D plughw:0,0 --buffer-size=500 --period-size=125 And Squeezelite can't manage that buffer (the sound is chopped), whereas aplay is ok. For me it is a proof that Squeezelite is doing something different than just transmit to alsa. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ th2j's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72679 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
