In short, I'm looking for the best stereo sound I can get from my
Linux system---the main use will be listening to my CD collection
(ripped as FLAC).
A specific question: if using digital output, is there a difference
(sound quality-wise) between optical/toslink and coaxial? Say my
soundcard

One, the crackling of my MAudio 2496. I'm just assuming that
the inside of my case has a lot of RF interference, so digital
coming out of the PC seems like a good way to get away from
that.
Crackling is not caused by RF. That

In my experience there is no comparison between my Benchmark DAC1
and the D/A in our home theater. In one case the DAC1 is a $1K
converter driven by a spdif cable. In the other case it's a $300
Sony receiver with probably a $20 D/A.

ok. It you have lucky time when there's no crackling, then it is
probably a bad solder joint on your card.
Check the biggest components, they tend to be badly soldered. (I

Hello,
I have an MAudio Audiophile 2496 PCI soundcard. My goal is have
ALSA do as little as possible, and just pass the audio to the
hardware.

Normally plughw would be built into ALSA. Not sure why it looks

Try removing /etc/asound.conf and creating this .asoundrc in your

Any way you can revert to the stock Ubuntu 8.10 alsa, disable

I'm actually in that state now. My initial post was a bit

It is composed of the plug on top of hw.
On my system it is defined in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf

If you do not change sample rate, but just increase number of

Makes sense. But is plughw smart enough to only resample when
necessary?
I guess that's just something I need to consider if I
Is there a way to query alsa to see what sample rates and formats
the sound hardware natively supports?
Thanks,

I get the following output when I run this for my M-Audio Audiophile

My use-case is as follows: I have a headless PC (a Raspberry Pi) that
I want to use as a generic sound server. I want to run three audio

and one needs to use Pulseaudio. I have only one actual hardware
