Description Kyle Brantley 2009-02-01 00:34:28 UTC
Version:           2 (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

(Note: this applies to both amarok and amarok2.)

Whenever I play a 24bit/96kHz flac file, all I get is random garbage coming out. It properly detects all tags, data, the works - but the audio is garbled to the point where it can't be heard.
Comment 1 Mark Kretschmann 2009-02-01 07:42:51 UTC
Sorry, but Amarok 2 itself does not do any music decoding. This is delegated to Phonon (a KDE component), which then in turn delegates it to a backend.

I'm reassigning the report to Phonon, asking its maintainers to decide whether this report is valid or not.

Allright, cool. It should be noted that free 24/96 flac can be obtained from theslip.nin.com, if testing is needed.

same problem here. it seems it is a bug in xine-lib from what i cound find out by googling. i also get noise when i play 24/96 flacs with amarok 1.4.10 via xine. using juk with gstreamer backend works perfectly so i gather this is a xine problem. is there any development regarding this bug? or is this the wrong place to post since it seems to be a xine problem?

This should be fixed in SVN (and in the latest tarball released, 4.3.80).
It was an effect plugin in Phonon-Xine used by Amarok that didn't correctly handle the audio data.
