Distorted sound with mpg123 plugin

Added by Vladimir Vladimir over 6 years ago

I hear distorted high pitch sound using mpg123 input plugin at least with mp3 http streams. If I use mpg123 directly to play the same stream, audio is perfectly fine. As well if I use ffmpeg plugin audio is not distorted. I'd switch to ffmpeg, but only with mpg123 plugin I can see the current song information... I'd appreciate any suggestions. Currently I'm using the latest 3.10 version.

It would help if you gave a link to one such stream.

Both streams play fine here with the mpg123 plugin. It's hard to say what the cause of the problem on your system might be.

The sound distortion is not so bad that you hear it instantly, but if you disable mpg123 plugin and enable only ffmpeg,,, I definitely hear it.

Interesting. Had the same problem, sounds like some kind of clipping or quantization noise. Disabled mpg123, problem fixed. I'm on gentoo so I recompiled mpg123 with -fno-strict-aliasing, and the problem is gone. (Yes, I re-enabled mpg123 to test ) . Checked again without that option and the problem is back. Think we can say for certain that the problem is not with audacious, but with compiler options used on mpg123.
