 K900 | In reply to @charles:computer.surgery
holy crap i fixed it, the problem is that warframe was requesting unreasonably low audio latency and as a result the quantum for my hardware was getting set to 128 (!!!) so running pw-metadata -n settings 0 clock.force-quantum 1024 to force it to 1024 (much more reasonable) and now the crackling is gone Oh yeah Wine does that | 06:01:25 |
| K900 | You can force a higher quantum globally if your hardware doesn't like going that low | 06:01:48 |
 Charles | do you know offhand what the declarative way to do that is | 06:07:02 |
| Charles | i assume you mean force it in pipewire/wireplumber | 06:07:21 |
| Charles | rather than wine | 06:07:24 |
| K900 | Yeah | 06:07:29 |
| K900 | I have it on one of my machines | 06:07:43 |
| K900 | Let me get to a computer and grep | 06:07:52 |
| Charles | thanks! | 06:08:01 |

| Charles | excellent, thanks | 06:17:43 |
| Charles | also my audio interface can do 192khz, is there an easy way to make wireplumber use that | 06:18:07 |
| Charles | or should i just leave it on 48khs | 06:18:12 |
| Charles | * or should i just leave it on 48khz | 06:18:13 |
| K900 | Well Nyquist-Shannon says you won't hear anything above 48kHz anyway | 06:18:48 |
| Charles | yeah | 06:18:57 |

 woobilicious | IIRC the only reason to use a higher frequency is for recording, it's quite hard to build a good analog low pass filter with steep roll which is needed for AA (anti-aliasing) in the ADC, I doubt anything above 96k is needed tho, you can also benefit from AA in some processing of audio effects like distortion, but most professional effects should have AA built in, but from my understanding there's zero benefit for playback, maybe improved latency with FIR filters, but generally it's just wasted CPU and added stress for your hardware, bumping the default resampler quality up a few notches is probably better use of CPU power, and there's a non-zero chance the soundcard actually just spits out garbage and annoys your pets. | 06:38:44 |

 zororg | What happened to nixos main channel?
| 15:18:29 |
| zororg | Also I wanted to ask @K900 about battery life.
After looking at recent post: https://libreddit.kavin.rocks/r/linux/comments/1k3kncj/linux_battery_life_on_laptops/
Last time you told me to remove tlp and auto-cpufreq and stick with PPD.
Does it still valid to better use that? I have an intel H series processor and integrated GPU.
thank you! | 15:20:06 |
| K900 | Yes | 15:22:26 |
