Intel audio & alsa problem

Hi everyone!

first post here in the forums

So as part of a work I'm doing with HRTF (binaural audio) I need OpenAL to use 44100hz. I was using it fine on my previous OS, but in Arch I get this error with all apps that use openal:
AL lib: (EE) UpdateDeviceParams: Failed to set 44100hz, got 48000hz instead

My laptop uses intel integrated audio and graphics.
I'm not sure where I should start to look to find a solution, alsa? snd module? other?

thanks in advance!

That should be able to be set in your asoundrc.  See here for details, particularly the Q&A under PLUGINS.

Hi there!

thanks. Using some help I got in IRC I added a line in my (previously non-existent) asoundrc, to set the default to 44100. But then I get this error:
AL lib: (EE) GetHrtf: Incompatible format: Mono 44100hz

Which somehow suggests that there is a problem somewhere! I tried playing a mono file with 44100 in audacity, and it worked fine. Its just openal that seems to be having issues...

Also, I dont want to set my default to that in the asoundrc file.
