# Audio Quality
|
|
|
|
cliamp lets you tune the output sample rate, speaker buffer size, resample quality, and bit depth via `~/.config/cliamp/config.toml`. The active settings are shown in the `OUT` status line below the EQ.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Add any of these to your config file:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
# Output sample rate in Hz (22050, 44100, 48000, 96000, 192000)
|
|
sample_rate = 44100
|
|
|
|
# Speaker buffer in milliseconds (50-500)
|
|
buffer_ms = 100
|
|
|
|
# Resample quality (1-4, where 4 is best)
|
|
resample_quality = 4
|
|
|
|
# PCM bit depth for FFmpeg-decoded formats: 16 (default) or 32 (lossless)
|
|
bit_depth = 16
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All four are optional. Defaults are shown above.
|
|
|
|
## What they do
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Effect |
|
|
|--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `sample_rate` | Output rate sent to your sound card. 48000 matches most modern DACs. |
|
|
| `buffer_ms` | Lower = less latency, higher = fewer glitches. Try 200 if audio pops. |
|
|
| `resample_quality` | Sinc interpolation quality when a file's native rate differs from output. 4 is best, 1 is fastest. |
|
|
| `bit_depth` | PCM precision for FFmpeg-decoded formats (m4a, aac, alac, opus, wma, webm). 32 uses float PCM which preserves up to 24-bit audio without truncation. Native formats (mp3, flac, wav, ogg) always decode at full precision regardless of this setting. |
|
|
|
|
## Quick recipes
|
|
|
|
**Lossless / hi-res setup** (good DAC, beefy CPU):
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
sample_rate = 96000
|
|
buffer_ms = 100
|
|
resample_quality = 4
|
|
bit_depth = 32
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Low-latency / weak hardware**:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
sample_rate = 44100
|
|
buffer_ms = 200
|
|
resample_quality = 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Changes take effect on next launch.
