RE: nrpacks=20 turns out to be the best

phofman

I appreciate your doubt, but we have come a long way since my earlier misstep. The sound is quite dramatic on my system between 1 and 20. If you were to boot at 1 you would be wondering what went wrong. It is easy to flip back and forth to compare the sound, so anyone can try it. Like everything your results may vary depending on overall system. Lots of people have different preferences. Several people using the Alix with fairly decent systems report delight with this setting. Others may not. Some like tubes and some solid state.
To get a report of what is running:
Code:
cat /sys/module/snd_usb_audio/parameters/nrpacks

Works perfectly. It returns the value of nrpacks.
20
To set it as your default add:
options snd-usb-audio nrpacks=20
to the end of the file alsa-base.conf.

Again, thank you for introducing me to this.
