Pulseaudio Crossover Rack - multi-way crossover design & implementation with linux

I can vouch for Tfive,s comment .
I have Manjaro xfce and I only need a reboot when installing a new kernel --rolling upgrades don't need rebooting .majaro xfce.


Interesting to listen to the problems some distros and apps have installing on systems but there again I wont have Wine on my system at any cost.

Wine? Where does Wine come into this?
 
The issue definitely remains.

I've tried with a fresh MATE 20.10 installation on two different PC's now, Pulseaudio locks up when I try to apply the crossover on both devices. I'm using an 8-output HDMI extractor for what it's worth.

I've attached the paxor file that I'm trying to implement. (I had to change the extension from .paxor to .txt in order for the server to see it as a valid file)

Thanks

Just looked at the file, everything seems to be fine with it.

Are you sure, you built and installed the fixed pulseaudio version? Did you restart the daemon before trying?
 
Just wanted to say, I've been running this software on a Raspberry Pi 4 with multiple (cheap) USB DACs for the last few weeks. It works, but I had to settle for the default sampling rates and algorithms to stop the processor locking up. Yesterday I moved everything to an oldish PC (liberated from its use as a DVR) and was able to switch to the settings recommended by Tfive. The difference at high frequencies is obvious to even the dullest of ears. Really pleased. Thanks again Jurgen!

You could try to give the pulseaudio daemon realtime scheduling priority as described here: Pulseaudio Crossover Rack - Online Help

This might give you some more leeway if CPU power is tight.
 
Hello

Hello,

I have installed Pulseaudio Crossover Rack and DeadBeaf audio player.

My hardware - Intel J4105-ITX + 8GB RAM + Asus xonar U7 - 7.1 audio usb dac.

When Pulseaudio Crossover if OFF - music play is OK.

If I turn it ON --> I am receiving noise such as 'puk' ... 'puk' in about 1 sec intervals ... : (

This part of setup is done:
Add these lines to /etc/pulse/daemon.conf:
realtime-scheduling = yes
realtime-priority = 5

What to check .. ? to do ? ... is it possible to resolve this noise ?

Have a nice day,

Emil

For more info about what's going on you should disable the daemon autospawn in /etc/pulse/client.conf and run pulseaudio manually in a console with (very) verbose flag set. Maybe the log messasges put out by pulseaudio give us some clue whats going on...
