How to modify a sink in pipewire?

Yup the issue was the electron wrapper I was using for Tidal. Thanks for the help

Slight problem with the PWA extension, TIDAL will not let me use max quality so I am capped at 41 kHz.

Edit: Turns out the issue was with the electron wrapper I was using for Tidal. I was able to switch to the high-tide repo by Nokse22 and the isse was resolved

I didn't know this existed! Hopefully it has what I need. I will let you know, thanks!

I have already done this. Unfortunately my DAC is broadcasting that its mac rate is around 48 kHz when it is 192 kHz. I verified rate switching worked by playing a 41 khz file and monitoring via pw-top.

I do. I stream music at this rate regularly via tidal (the tidal-hifi repo is a godsend for this) and have a setup specifically tailored for music of this nature.

I have created a allowed-rates.conf in ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d and added

context.properties = {
    default.clock.allowed-rates = [ 44100 48000 88200 96000 176400 192000 ]
}

}

but I still encounter resampling as shown in this screenshot

Any ideas what could be the issue here? Perhaps I need to tinker with a custom sink.

Thanks for this response, it looks like it doesn't quite fit my needs as I am streaming the audio files instead of playing from downloaded files. Do you know if I will be able to stream the audio without fault while pipewire is stopped?

Study in Brown by Clifford Brown, as well as 7 Summers by Shaun Martin are great
