[SOLVED] sound quality issues with ALSA

I installed archlinux nearly 2 weeks ago. I've been at this for nearly 2 weeks now and stuck at the same position as the start when it comes to audio.

My audio quality is not as good as it was when I was on Linux Mint 9 64bit

I don't want to use pulseaudio as my experience with it causes more trouble than good

I read the ALSA wiki archlinux High quality resampling. I followed it exactly to the word

flash in chromium just crashes, when I load steam using wine... this is the output.

and on one line I noticed it says

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:236:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_rate_samplerate.so

I've looked at that location and it's there... so I'm stuck here...

in the ".asoundrc" file stored at the root of my home folder I have stored inside like what is stated on the wiki but removed "_best"

I have tried it with "_best" and it shows the same error except it says

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:236:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_rate_samplerate_best.so

any suggestions?

thank you

Re: [SOLVED] sound quality issues with ALSA

works now

I did a re-install and noticed the library "lib32-libsamplerate" wasn't installed...

all this time I thought it was because I saw the modules in the "lib32" directory...

wonder why they are in there then...

Re: [SOLVED] sound quality issues with ALSA

In my case both packages lib32-libsamplerate and lib32-alsa-plugins was also required.
