[Resolved] Can't configure USB DAC to auto set sample rate (CS43131)
I got myself a https://moondroplab.com/en/products/dawn-pro:
dmesg

[ 3955.093611] hid-generic 0003:2FC6:F06A.000A: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.11 Device [MOONDROP MOONDROP Dawn Pro] on usb-0000:03:00.3-3/input2Which supports this range of sampling rates: [44100, 384000].
I use Tidal, which allows me to stream some songs at 192000 24 bit, or more. FLACs. Their app is Electron, so Chromium.
The DAC itself shows different colors depending on its current frequency: reference, so I know if the frequency actually got applied.
The issue is that I am always getting 48000 (Pipewire's default, afaiu). Some things I tried:
- Manually set the frequency (works): pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-rate 384000
- Test it with different configurations: speaker-test -D hw:1 -c 2 -r $FREQ -F $BIT, with values of 384000, 196000, 96000 for FREQ, and S24_3LE, S32_LE, S24_LE.
Some info:
❯ cat /proc/asound/cards

}
}Some other way I checked the current frequency:

~ I am trying to make it switch automatically to the requested frequency, and afaiu, the issue is that ALSA is not telling Pipewire the supported frequencies because I can't see it specified in places like pw-cli list-objects.

Re: [Resolved] Can't configure USB DAC to auto set sample rate (CS43131)
Get rid of that ALSA config and install pipewire-alsa so that ALSA using applications are routed via pipewire.
Check with
pactl list sink-inputs
pactl list sinkswhich rates you are actually receiving. Chances that electron/chromium just downsamples whatever "should be" the rate you get are very high, test with actual local files and actual clients that you know can be told to not resample themselves (e.g. paplay or so for FLACs)

Re: [Resolved] Can't configure USB DAC to auto set sample rate (CS43131)
Thanks for your time, V1del.
I already had pipewire-alsa installed. I can see the relevant thing of that package happens in /etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pipewire-default.conf.
Here are the two commands:

Re: [Resolved] Can't configure USB DAC to auto set sample rate (CS43131)
Update: downloaded a sample file from https://msbtechnology.com/support/bit-perfect-testing/ ("24 bit x 384 kHz sample rate file.") and played it with mpv. After selecting in pavucontrol S/PDIF Digital Output (instead of Pro Audio) it did work.
Indeed Tidal Electron client is not working, so I blame the client. I'll keep that in mind.

Re: [Resolved] Can't configure USB DAC to auto set sample rate (CS43131)
FYI, I've been using https://github.com/Nokse22/high-tide which does indeed work with high quality FLACs.
For example with this random headset:
R 110 4096 96000 29,4us 10,0us 0,00 0,00 0 S24LE 2 96000 alsa_output.usb-HP__Inc_HyperX_Cloud_III_000000000000-00.analog-stereo
R 89 8192 96000 15,2us 10,4us 0,00 0,00 0 F32LE 2 96000 + high-tideSame with the DAC.
