![]() ![]() It seems though, that it knocks out the right channel for some reason.īut it does solve the volume problem. The only familiar solution was to install pulseaudio (which works perfectly on all my other Linux distros and Manjaro for Raspbian).īecause it works flawlessly on Manjaro on 'My Pi 4' I thought it would work on Raspbian on a Pi 4. There were no ALSA settings I could find that worked to fix that. Specifically,in my case, at 100% volume, through a Logitech speaker system with the volume wound up, there was not enough volume to hear 'voices' in movies (when characters are having ordinary discussions around a table for example). I think the problem I am having, and some others, is that we installed pulseaudio to try to fix the sound problems we had in the Pi4 Analog output. Therefore, it is sometimes faster and easier to find a solution to problems on the Debian forums. Raspbian is just another kind of Debian, so Deas is also inherited by Raspbian. Other forums (Debian & Ubuntu) also discuss other sound issues in Linux. This forum has a thread dedicated to the “hallucinations” of alsa and pulseaudio, so there are many solutions. However, I am afraid to go into the field of "high philosophy", which is not good. Jackd is an order of magnitude better than pulseaudio, it is a less professional sound server, and not a poorly written “sound” pulseaudio And yes, I use Volumio on Raspberry (actually this is a special kind of Debian Jessie, it has much less problems than with raw Buster), which is also convenient. ![]() The rest of the Raspberries are caught =) This allowed me to throw out pulseaudio on the computer with jackd and unload the badly working sound on Raspberry 4. Today I prefer to use the following installation: Raspberry 3 works as a sound server through jackd, and Raspberry 4 works as a client. However, there is no alternative - the program is actively used by other "sound" programs.Īnother “sound” problem is the Buster raw operating system and its sound subsystem does not work well at the level of kernel drivers with some sound cards (I checked this and alas, for now this is so, I hope the Debian developers will fix it over time) The Pulseaudio program, unfortunately, is written with many software errors, and the “mono” error is only one of the known ones. But pulseaudio is not the best solution for sound, although this is just my opinion and that of some of my friends. Raspberry is a great microcomputer for experimenting with sounds. I also know this will be fixed once the team have the time. I'm back on Raspbian for my real stuff, but at least if I want to play music, I know I can just swap a microSD, boot Manjaro and have a music player with good sound. I wonder if it is some clash with ALSA and the broadcom sound? I know the RPF team have a lot of work to do, but if Manjaro have this sorted, it can't be too difficult to fix.īTW, they are using pulseaudio, and they also have an excellent pulseaudio-equalizer. Which is why I wrote about better Audio in Manjaro in another post. But on a fresh install of Raspbian on microSD, it still only provided sound from the left side. I would suspect some sort of setup error on my part if it changed after installation of pulseaudio. It opened, and where my Pi 4 on Raspbian was only delivering sound form the Left channel and nothing when the voice said 'right channel', with Manjaro, the Left channel voice came from about a metre left of the pi, and the right channel voice came from about a metre right of the pi. Left the Raspbian SSD connected as always so I could access exactly the same Left channel Right channel Test Clip that was posted above. ![]() I just slipped the Raspbian boor microSD out of the Pi 4 and plugged in the Manjaro one. It should perhaps be 'analog Sound RASPBIAN is mono, not stereo.' paths-input = analog-input-front-mic analog-input-rear-mic analog-input-internal-mic analog-input-dock-mic analog-input analog-input-mic analog-input-linein analog-input-aux analog-input-video analog-input-tvtuner analog-input-fm analog-input-mic-line analog-input-headset-mic paths-output = analog-output analog-output-lineout analog-output-speaker analog-output-headphones analog-output-headphones-2 analog-output-mono Therefore, it seemed to me easier to comment out the mono mode than to do something else =) The problem is that pulseaudio overwrites alsa on the fly. This is an old solution, a few years ago it was discussed on the Debian forums usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/nf I also encountered this problem on my Raspberry, but “fixed” it in another way. She is already many years old and has not yet been solved (oh! Do you know who wrote the code for pulseaudio?) ![]()
