asoundrc as per instructions on Arch Linux OSSv4 Wiki.Most computer users probably like to play music or watch TV shows and movies on their desktop PC or laptop. You can also emulate ALSA for applications that doesn't support OSSv4 edit /etc/nf or. When all that is done than it's time for configuring applications. You should change configure script GRC_MAX_QUALITY=3 to GRC_MAX_QUALITY=6 that's for production quality resampler. Then update your software sources and run this command: sudo apt-get build-dep oss4-base
Before you start the compilation open up software-properties-gtk application as root and check the source code on the first tab. There is also the official guide regarding that process. Ubuntu community documentation regarding OpenSound has commands for removing ALSA (reboot requiered) and of course installation of OSSv4 (including compiling from source). When you will know what's your soundcard then you can check if it is supported by Open Sound System. You should post the output of lspci -v command (run it in terminal) for audio device section. Unfortunately this requiers building it from source and also removing ALSA, PulseAudio from your Ubuntu and setting applications backends to OSSv4. You could try Open Sound System (OSSv4) with production quality enabled in the ossxmix. What can I do to fix this, and make Ubuntu sound as natural as Windows XP on my laptop? Why is there a difference in sound quality?ĭoesn't the audio data that is sent by programs get "rendered" to speakers as-is? Is there some extra processing, perhaps to compensate for the characteristics of the speakers or laptop case, akin to colour-management?
There's no noticeable difference in the sound volume of Ubuntu and WinXP. On Ubuntu 11.10 I'm also using the defaults.
3D or bass boost or whatever that's available on some computers). On Windows I'm using the default drivers from Dell, I didn't modify any settings, and I checked that no extra sound processing is enabled (e.g. The computer is a Dell Inspiron 6000, with "SigmaTel C Major Audio" sound. It does not on Windows even at maximum volume. Please note-this is not a subjective quality difference: the laptop case will resonate on Ubuntu as soon as the volume gets turned up to mid-level. The sound is clearly worse and less natural on Ubuntu: my laptop sounds somewhat like a tin can (for lack of a better way to describe it), and when the volume gets even moderately high, the laptop case starts to resonate (which is just awful, and never happens on Windows XP, not even at the highest volume). On Ubuntu (every version I tried since about ~2009 or 2008), the sound quality is noticeably different than on Windows XP, regardless of what program I use for playback (YouTube, listening to MP3s, Spotify, etc.)
