ALSA error: snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format failed: Invalid argument. #413

Playing a flac with a samplerate higer than 96000 with audacious gives:

_ALSA error: snd_pcm_hw_params_setformat failed: Invalid argument.

Output device for audacious is hw:1.0 - USB Audio the device is a soudbaster blasterx G6.

selecting

pulse - PulseAudio Sound Server

in audacious results in no sound and audacious hangs. Pipewire and wireplumber are used.

On an old gentoo- system on another partition all samplerates play successfully.

kernel: linux-6.8.1-gentoo the versions of alsa are: alsa-lib-1.2.10-r2 alsa-topology-conf-1.2.5.1 alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.10-r1 alsa-plugins-1.2.7.1-r1 alsa-utils-1.2.10-r1

On the new system the 'old' kernel linux-6.8.1-gentoo is also available. Rolled back alsa-lib from alsa-lib-1.2.12 to alsa-lib-1.2.10 and booted kernel kernel linux-6.8.1-gentoo Still same problem.

It looks like a kernel driver issue (but maybe not even the sound driver). Try to connect your USB audio device to another USB port (like 2.0 only) on your system. Some USB host drivers have issues with the bandwidth calculation. Also try to reproduce your issue with the aplay or some basic ALSA utility. Like aplay -D hw:0 -f S24_3LE -r 96000 -c 2 /dev/zero . Replace zero in hw:0 with your card number.

The usb port use is no a powered usb3 hub. Tryed on a usb3 port derectly on the system an also on a usb2 port: same results. Now new system is running with the same kernel same .config as the old one where flac's above 192000 samples per second play. Tests with aplay:

Make sure that no input stream is running on the same device while you test different parameters for the output. Since the device runs in the implicit feedback mode, the parameters are tied for both input and output.

linuxandos2 commented 3 weeks ago

Yes there is no input stream running, dureing both tests. cat /proc/asound/card1/stream0:

Hm, what if you run with plughw instead of hw? Also, try to adjust the buffer and period size, too.

linuxandos2 commented 3 weeks ago

Test with plughw, rate 96000, buffer-size=1000000 ==>OK aplay -D plughw:1,0 -c 1 -f S24_3LE -r 96000 -c 2 --buffer-size=1000000 /dev/zero

linuxandos2 commented 3 weeks ago

Also tryed different period sizes.

linuxandos2 commented 2 weeks ago

Finally installed a fresh gentoo system on a different partition: Problem does not occur any more. If you want to further investigate let my know. Up to you to close. And thanks alot.
