@Dan_Knight and others, the title says it all. Is this doable beyond 16/48 or is there still a limitation in the ALSA mixer to prevent higher sampling rates and frequency? Thanks. JCR
Hi Jeffrey,
We were able to achieve 16bit/192KHz with a patch in our previous 4.4 kernel.
Our current kernel (4.9) does not have this patch, as its untested.
I’ll create a ticket and see if we can improve available output freq/depth on the 4.9 kernel:
Thanks, @Dan_Knight. I might ask: if you are doing the heavy lifting to get to 16/192 for multichannel, do you think you can get to 24/192 for multichannel? JCR
We had issues with it last time I believe (white noise), but i’ll give it a go 
Hello, @Dan_Knight. Just thought I’d check in to see if you had any opportunity to further troubleshoot HDMI multichannel. (Sorry, I don’t really know how much time you have to dedicate to your DietPi project or what other priorities for it you have). Thanks. JCR
Hi Jeffrey,
Apologies, i’ve still not had a chance to look into this yet, and probably wont be any time soon. 9 day old son, many sleepless nights and days lol
With the limited time I do have, I’am using it to prioritize bug fixes and keep DietPi running at the moment.
Hey Daniel,
Happy days – congratulations! Enjoy this special time as much as you can – DietPi will take care of itself just fine.
