AudioQuest DragonFly on Linux

[JJ4884]

Hello,

I am posting this query in the forum since Audio is a forte of the Linux Game cast crew to the point of having a separate youtube video series for gear.

I have recently gotten bitten by the Audiophie bug since I signed up for a $4 for 4 month trial of Tidal music. I selected a few beginner audiophile picks from well renown tech podcaster and audiophile Patrick Norton. One of these picks was the Audioquest Dragonfly Black. I am having trouble getting it to get high bitrate audio through the Dragonfly. It is stuck on 44.1 HZ

• Distro – Kubuntu (also installed low latency kernel and many of the tools from Ubuntu Studio with no success)
• PulseAudio version – 13.99.1
• Browser – Vivaldi.

Any guidance could help.

Have you tried setting it in the config?

/etc/pulse/daemon.conf

; default-sample-rate = 48000

A bit late to the party.
Fuck da Pulesaudio.

” I am having trouble getting it to get high bitrate audio through the Dragonfly. It is stuck on 44.1 HZ” – not that I don’t trust you comrade, but how do you know?

First question, what do you have here:
cat /proc/asound/card2/pcm0p/sub0/*

As per here:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ALSA#Need_to_view_more_detailed_information_per_ALSA_stream.3F

This will be your informationz about Alsa/driver. Your sound cardz can work in many bitratez/frequenzies. And to make thingz more complexz, Pulse also operates on it’s own bitrate/frequenzies. Ideally Pulse and Alsa should match, but it’s like communizm, good idea on the papers, please!

Remeber kids, Pulse works on top of Alsa.
