Pulseaudio ignoring /etc/pulse/default.conf sample rate

Hi!
I was fallowing this guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … _recording because of a static noise I get on my microphone (both the earphones and the laptop one), I found out deafult sampling rate was 44100 Hz while my card needed 48000, so I changed the /etc/pulse/default.conf file as written in the wiki.
Unfortunatly gnome-sound-recorder and arecord both still use 44100Hz. How is this happening? Do I need to provide more information to solve the issue?
Thanks!

Re: Pulseaudio ignoring /etc/pulse/default.conf sample rate

you can set these options in three places but not at the same time. make sure you don't have multiple configs:

~/.pulse/daemon.conf
~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf

Thank you for your reply! I set the setting in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf as described in the wiki, that's why I wrote this post

pacmd list-sources
pacmd list-source-outputs #While recording

Usually the invoking application decides on the samplerate and pulseaudio simply resamples according to configuration. Therefore you will want to change that in the applications you use for recording. You might want to post your modified file as well, maybe you overlooked something.
