Hi, I have a 24-bit/96KHz file. When I play it, it says that it plays in s16_le and samplerate ouput is 48KHz (I see that on my hardware equaliser). I have an ESI Juli@ and use the alsa driver of the 2.6.26. output of mplayer: Playing Radiohead - 06 - Karma Police.flac. Audio only file format

Ok, thanks for your answer. But why don't use 96KHz as samplerate for output ? Why downsample to 48KHz ? Use the native samplerate is too complicated ;-) ? I know that alsa by default use 48KHz (dmix) but if my song is in 96KHz why not use this SR ? Thanks On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 3:20 PM,

Hi. If I play a MP3 file, I cannot control the sound by the Master in Kmix's output. The sound is controled by the PCM output. I think it's a matter of a miss with the driver/mixer configuration. But how can I determine that, and how can I solve it ?.
