It says : "The Read device is front:Ultra The Streams are set to 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels Using 16 octaves of 'pink noise' The sample format is unavailable for playback : invalid argument Failed to set device parameters : invalid argument" In another hand, I'm used to listen to music with Deadbeef because this player allow me to select ALSA driver (and avoid Pulseaudio when I don't want any resampling and quality discrease). And there, I can select my front:ultra profile (see picture attachment), and it works very well. The same for squeezelite player, I set it to use the front:Ultra profile, without any problem. That's why I think the Front:Ultra profile exists and worksn but I don't know why your command fails, and why pulseaudio doesn't make it available. (Another think I remember to add : In the past (maybe 3 years ago, maybe Ubuntu 14.04, but >I can't be sure now), all profiles were listed with the same Fasttrack Ultra soundcard, and it worked fine. SO.. something changed, but what ?)</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
