VLC does have it's own settings.
Have you checked the setup in VLC in Puppy?
There are a lot of settings you can adjust and change.
Puppy is the greatest

Yes, I have done a lot of exploration with VLC settings in both my windows and puppy (same version of VLC too) on the same machine. First of all, the same settings for VLC (eg: setting the same level settings for the equalizer) in windows and puppy just does not give the same results. So setting the equalizer settings as best (for my hearing) for both operating systems individually still results in the sound sounding better in windows. I also have another music player I use in both windows and puppy with the same results. Sound reproduction always better on the windows machine. So what we have here is the same hardware and software with windows giving the better result. The windows sound drivers/architecture for this specific machine must be better (or works better). It's the only logical conclusion I can make.
This is something I found on the web.
Could try it.
Add to or create ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf
This goes in the daemon.conf file
it won't work for all, so you may try out float32le instead or any of default sampling formats:
s16le, s16be, s24le, s24be, s24-32le, s24-32be, s32le, s32be float32le, float32be, ulaw, alaw
Also depending on the endianness of the CPU the
formats s16ne, s16re, s24ne, s24re, s24-32ne, s24-32re, s32ne, s32re,
float32ne, float32re (for native, resp. reverse endian) are available
as aliases.
Could try it.
Add to or create ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf
This goes in the daemon.conf file
Code: Select all
default-sample-format = float32ne
default-sample-rate = 48000
alternate-sample-rate = 44100
default-sample-channels = 2
default-channel-map = front-left,front-right
default-fragments = 2
default-fragment-size-msec = 125
resample-method = soxr-vhq
enable-lfe-remixing = no
high-priority = yes
nice-level = -11
realtime-scheduling = yes
realtime-priority = 9
rlimit-rtprio = 9
daemonize = no

Well, Puppy may not be the "greatest", but it is pretty darn awesome... I'm running Tahrpup 6.0.5 on two 32 bit boxes that are 10+ years old, that I pulled out of my pile of defunct laptops... And both are running great... So, my bubble has not burst... If anything, I'm becoming quite a Puppy enthusiast... (though I am a bit intoxicated)... Hurrah Puppy!...

@nic007:-
But it's got a 30w RMS amp built-in to the 4 1/2 " sub, along with with a fairly good quality set of 4" 'satellite' speakers (with separate tweeters). PCM is usually on around 90-95% in my Pups. I can turn this thing up loud enough to hurt my eardrums.....and that's without detectable distortion, sharp, clear treble and pretty 'punchy' bass. Makes for way better enjoyment of NetFlix, that's for sure!

I agree with you about Windows sound reproduction (I think). Back when I was running XP on this same machine, I used to use the genuine RealTek AC'97 drivers with the built in sound 'tweaker' package. Volume would go a hell of a lot higher in Windows, it's true.....and, although I'm no audiophile, sound quality was just indefinably 'better', somehow.
Overall, though, I just like crisp, clear treble, and smooth, rich bass. Which this Goodmans system delivers in spades. I never really get anywhere near its limits....it's getting painful by just over the half-way mark on the amp's volume control!

Oh, it's nowt special, really; just a middle of the road Goodmans system. It's actually been designed as a 'booster' system for playback of any personal music-player (CD, mp3, radio, iPlayer, etc.), because its sole input is a built-in 3-foot lead with a 3.5 mm jack plug on the end.....same as any set of headphones/earbuds.nic007 wrote:Looks like you have some quality sound equipment there. What you need to do is, is to play your music on a windows machine running the same software (eg. VLC) and you will hear what I'm talking about; better sound production/quality/fidelity overall using windows.

Good for you, old son. Puppies are downright addictive, y'know...!!JFB wrote:Well, Puppy may not be the "greatest", but it is pretty darn awesome...

> Well, Puppy may not be the "greatest",
Wot?
Puppy is the greatest, smallest and not an oxymoron ...
Puppy is:
Fully biodegradable.
Uses landfill resources efficiently
https://youtu.be/rDTLJYDHX3g
It can run inside a goat ... eh ... inside ram
It has great support, great developers ... no outstanding developers ...
... and guess who is coming soon (I can feel it in my puppy bones)

Puppy conquers all (even latin)
