[SOLVED]Pulseaudio default sample rate and Creative Sounblaster ZXR

Hello, i am trying set another sample rate, different from 48000 kHz (i want to set 192000 kHz).

PulseAudio version: 14.0
Arch Kernel: 5.9.14.arch1-1

I also have alsa-firmware installed with firmware for my soundcard.

Here is my daemon.conf in home directory

When i try to set value, different from 48kHz to 192kHz or 92kHz sound is no working anymore.

I get this message in dmesg

I have read, thath linux should support my soundcard. How can i change default sample rate?

Re: [SOLVED]Pulseaudio default sample rate and Creative Sounblaster ZXR

That driver is very new and very experimental, it's not surprising to me that only the "normal" often tested 48kHz/44kHz work.

Do these rates work on a normal ALSA test? E.g.

speaker-test -c2 -Dhw:0 -r 192000

if they work then it might indeed be an interaction issue with pulse, where in this case I'd suggest you try and disable tsched

Thank you for answer. Here is output. Seems with alsa it works fine.

speaker-test -D sysdefault:CARD=Creative -c 2 -r 192000 -F S32_LE

speaker-test 1.2.4

Playback device is sysdefault:CARD=Creative
Stream parameters are 192000Hz, S32_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 192000Hz (requested 192000Hz)
Buffer size range from 8192 to 65536
Period size range from 4095 to 4097
Using max buffer size 65536
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 4096
was set buffer_size = 65536

I also have tried

load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

And now i can change sample rate without any problems. But when i watch video on youtube or mpv i hear "cracking" sound, but in deadbeef it works pretty well.

As i understand, there is nothing can be done? (because of the driver).

Re: [SOLVED]Pulseaudio default sample rate and Creative Sounblaster ZXR

By disabling tsched you can play around with the default-fragments and default-fragment-size-msec options, potentially increasing the buffers here helps with the crackling, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … PulseAudio for some guidance of what the different values do. There's likely no one size fits all here and you'll have to experiment a bit.

thank you, i tried values from wiki and it seems works!

default-fragments = 3
default-fragment-size-msec = 5
