So the other day I started to play with a DAC on Fedora. After comparing the sound of it against the sound of the same DAC on my mobile I could tell that Fedora was doing something ‘intersting’, it was cutting the treble to a very noticiable level. To check if the problem lied on anything I set on my machine, I decided to try the live version of it. Same story. However, when I downloaded Brave the sound matched the one that feeding the DAC on my mobile, so Brave must be bypassing something. Also tried some other distributions and the default sound does not have this issue. Is there anything that can be done?
Just did it in the live version and still the same. However, I also noticed that there is no different whether I use Youtube on Firefox or Brave. The difference only exists if I use an audio file or use a service like navidrome.
YouTube will supply the media in several alternative formats/encodings so that your browser can choose one that is compatible with the decoders installed on the system. Your stand-alone audio file will probably sound OK if you have a copy of it in a high-quality encoding that the OS supports.
After trying your recommendations with no luck, I decided to check if there was any codec that somehow was missed installing and went to RPMFusion website and saw that they provide the gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld plug-in. That is the only the solved my issue. Thanks for the help.
