FLAC / Re: FLAC - stored main chunk length differs from written length

Thanks for your latest update. This thing has made a lot of head-way in a short period of time. However, I'm still getting the disappearing artwork issue.The origin of all these problems is the different behavior of CUI. Not a blame as such but it is very difficult and time-consuming to test multiple configurations. I use DUI only. F.e. the nagging lock-up problem only occurs with CUI (but has been fixed finally).

I am running fb2k in an Arch-based distro (EndeavourOS). With a recent major system update to KDE6 (or a minor unrelated update), something weird changed about foobar2000's shortcuts behaviour: ...Just to link everything together: I have posted to KDE's issue tracker: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483982 - my current guess it that the switch from X11 to Wayland changed some underlying behavior, which now needs some (hopefully) minor patch somewhere in a new input handling stack.
Hii'm talking about realtek , they don't release a lot of informations about audio chipsetsAs a professional engineer (not audio), I could not build a system around components which had no published specification (for specifications which mattered in the final product). The reason for that is lack of accountability: for a product to meet its specification, its components have to meet their specifications, or be subject to rigorous testing in-house to determine their specifications (an expensive process).
A typical consumer-grade PC is not aimed at audiophiles, so the makers are not concerned about audiophile specifications. Therefore an audiophile user cannot rely on guaranteed performance for noise, THD etc.
There are three solutions to this:
- Find an audiophile supplier of PCs;
- Use an external DAC with published performance specifications;
- Listen to (or test) the audio output from your existing PC and decide whether it is good enough for yourself.
Notebooks can get much better simply by unplugging from the mains and running off battery.
I realise you were wondering whether you would notice any improvement by switching to an external DAC and whether the investment would be worthwhile. Unfortunately only you can decide that, it depends how good your ears are (and how much it matters to you). Personally, I don't think I would notice any difference. What you do get with an external DAC is better connectors (the 3.5mm stereo socket is a weak link)!
1. Meets premium audio requirements for Microsoft WLP 3.10and
2. Meets stricter performance requirements for future WLP
3. High-performance DACs with 97dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), ADCs with 90dB SNR
4. Four stereo DACs (8 channels) support 16/20/24-bit PCM format for 7.1 sound playback.
5. Two stereo ADCs (4 channels) support 16/20/24-bit PCM format recording simultaneously
6. All DACs supports 16/20/24-bit, 44.1k/48k/96k/192kHz sample rate
The ALC887 is a 7.1 Channel High Definition Audio Codec with two independent SPDIF outputs. Featuring eight channels of DAC support 7.1 sound playback, and integrates two stereo ADC that can support a stereo microphone, and feature Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Beam Forming (BF), and Noise Suppression (NS) for voice applications. ALC887 is designed not only to meet the premium audio performance requirements in current WLP3.10 (Windows Logo Program), but provides better characteristics for future WLP. That brings user real high fidelity of sound quality.
