Pulseaudio is usually installed with default options to make it work with most hardware.
But settings can be tuned for better sound-quality. Adjust the following settings in your daemon.conf:
resample-method = soxr-vhq avoid-resampling = yes flat-volumes = no high-priority = yes realtime-scheduling = yes default-sample-channels = 2 default-sample-rate = 96000 alternate-sample-rate = 48000 default-sample-format = float32le
- The two sample rate settings can be adjusted to suit your hardware configuration.
- Also the sample-format can also be u8, s16le, s16be, s24le, s24be, s24-32le, s24-32be, s32le, s32be float32le, float32be, ulaw, alaw.
- resample-method can be
