hwparams: vortexbox-player vs mpd

[wilbert-vb]

Hello there,

I installed Vortexbox 2.0 and installed all the updates.
The output device is a HRT Music Streamer II USB DAC.
mpd is configured with "plughw:1"

I have a few high definition tracks (96/24) for testing purpose and just for fun I decided to check the output of /proc/asound/***/hwparams:

Playing with MPD:
========================
access: MMAP_INTERLEAVED
format: S24_3LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 96000 (96000/1)
period_size: 12000
buffer_size: 48000
========================

Playing with Logitech Media Server/Vortexbox-player:
========================
access: MMAP_INTERLEAVED
format: S24_3LE
subformat: STD
channels: 2
rate: 48000 (48000/1)
period_size: 6000
buffer_size: 24000
========================

I have only one mpd service running on the system

Why do I notice this difference?

Thank you very much.

From the SBS/LMS web interface at http://vortexbox:9000, go to Settings > Player > VortexBox Player > Audio, and make sure Bitrate limiting is set to "No Limit".

See if that helps.

Thank you for your swift response, Ron.

I verified the mentioned setting and it shows correct "unlimited".

It seems to me that these settings relate to mp3 and lame, though? The tracks I'm playing are in flac format.

Thank you very much.
