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.
