First Lemmy post for me!

I was going to post on /Linuxquestions but I thought I would try here first.

I have an imac2011 which I ran Ubuntu 23.04, Kubuntu and Ubuntu Cinnamon. I discovered Easy Effects audio app which allowed me to download profiles to enhance the audio from the system.

I recently decided to try OpenCoreLegacyParcher and installed a newer version of macos, which is currently running on my system and the audio quaility is just breath taking compared to Linux.

Is there anyway I can get closer to audio from macos on Linux? I’m considering going back to Linux soon but I think i’ll miss how good the audio is :(

    By default audio is often configured to run properly on the crappiest sound card and CPU. Since you used easyeffect I assume you use pipeWire. Here some of my config : In pipewire.conf :

    default.clock.rate          = 96000
 default.clock.allowed-rates = [ 44100 48000 96000 192000 ]

    In pipewire-pulse.conf

    stream.properties = {
    resample.quality      = 10
}

      Unless you happen to be a bat, setting the output sample rate to 96000 will do absolutely nothing to improve audio quality.

      If you’re using default.clock.allowed-rates you shouldn’t set default.clock.rate or it won’t switch based on the source frequency.
