 Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2014 4:13 am Post subject: Alsa Sound for Music is horrible on USB receiver |
 |
|
| I have a USB receiver that I am using with Alsa sound driver. The music sound quality is awful. Especially if it something like Pandora. If stream Pandora from my TV to the same receiver, it sounds a 100% better. Is there anything I can do to improve the music quality audio from my Gentoo system? |

The audio is a JVC digital receiver with burr brown DACs.
The sound personality is airy and thin. Even with the EQ from Audacious, it still sounds bad. It's do-able but not at the level it should be in quality. I tried pulseAudio and there was no diff. in sound. I hate to get a windows PC just to enjoy my music at good quality, but I dunno.. |

Sending bass to tweeter speakers? See my ~/.asoundrc, to fix that.
You haven't even said how many speakers you have.

I'm using 2 channel bookshelf speakers.
Here's my .asoundrc file:
| Code: | four@localhost ~ $ cat .asoundrc
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
format S32_LE
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 8192
rate 96000
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
pcm.dsp {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer" # use our new PCM here
}
ctl.mixer {
type hw
card 0
} |
