[alsa-devel] Usb audio - unsuported sampling rates
Hello, I'm using an usb mic which(according to it's producer should support up to 48kHz sampling rate). The problem is ALSA allows me to use only 16 kHz for this device. I do not want to resample the data, I want to sample it at 48kHz in order to be able to record some high pitch sounds 18-20kHz. I would want to try to do any modifications necessary in order to try support 48kHz, but I'm not sure where to start.

The device is queried for its supported sample rates during probe using class-specific commands. If it doesn't return all rates that are actually supported, we need to add a quirk and override this list. The list of known sample rates is included in /proc/asound/card1/stream0. What does that show for you? Daniel
Hello Daniel, Thank you very much for your reply !!! Please see below. On Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 9:53 AM, Daniel Mack <zonque@gmail.com> wrote:

I mention that while trying to record using arecord I see in /var/logs/messages: "kernel: [20914.414286] ALSA clock.c:242 current rate 177346 is different from the runtime rate 16000" The current rate reported here varies for each call of arecord. Eg it can be: 676371, 508390, 139882 etc. The values reported are too high to be real. lsusb -v Bus 001 Device 008: ID 1415:2000 Nam Tai E&E Products Ltd. or OmniVision Technologies, Inc.

The interface only reports this single sample rate. If the vendor claims that there are in fact more, it would be good to know which ones. Then we can add a quirk to parse_audio_format_rates_v1() in sound/usb/format.c - that shouldn't be too hard. Daniel

Something like the patch below could help. Can you try this? Daniel
Hello Daniel, Thank you very much for your help and sorry for the late answer. I was without internet access for the last few days. I have tried the patch that you sent me(with a minor modification: fp->rate_max(instead of min) = 48000; ). If I try to record using 48kHz and then playback, it will playback in "fast speed", voices being recorded as "chipmunks". Only at 16000Hz it records at "normal speed". So it seems that the recording is still done in fact at 16kHz, even though now the driver appears to support sampling rates between 16000-48000Hz. Dmesg is also showing me this everytime I try to record using the microphone(These messages appeared even without the driver modification): [ 165.364728] ALSA clock.c:242 current rate 175902 is different from the runtime rate 48000 [ 171.838509] ALSA clock.c:242 current rate 51816 is different from the runtime rate 48000 [ 206.950822] ALSA clock.c:242 current rate 281039 is different from the runtime rate 48000 [ 968.713856] ALSA clock.c:242 current rate 6096811 is different from the runtime rate 48000 Once again, thank you very much for your support!

Hi Daniel and Gordon, Sorry for posting on such an old thread. I have recently started using the PlayStation Eye for audio processing and I have run into the same issue of ALSA only allowing the device to capture at 16khz sampling rate when it should be capable of 48khz. Your last post indicates that even with a patch, the device only sampled at 16khz and just played the samples faster. I am just wondering if either of you came up with a solution to this problem? Was it ever possible to record at a 48khz? Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jacobson.
