Unable to play to AirPods Pro

(1/2) > >>

edbro:
I am still unable to play standard 16bit Flac files to my AirPods Pro. These are 44.1khz files. Exclusive is not checked in Audio options. I've been having this problem since MC28.
Mac OS 12.3.1
MC 29.0.25 (Silicon)

blgentry:
I suspect that AirPods Pro use some unusual native playback rate like 96kHz or something. 

You could try this setting and see if it helps:

Tools > Options > Audio > Advanced > auto configure output settings on playback error > YES

After you set the option, close and re-open MC, then try playing to your device.

Good luck.
Brian.

AirPods Pro are limited to 48 kHz, aren't they? Seem to recall reading that. In addition to what Brian said, (and if they are limited to 48 kHz) you can also try opening up DSP Studio > Output Format and setting all the output sample rates to 48,000 Hz or whichever sample rate(s) they're limited to and see if that works.

edbro:
That seems to do the trick. I knew from previous problems that I had to change higher sample rates on hi-res files down to 48 but I didn't realize I had to alter the lower rates too. I'm curious though that I don't seem to have these considerations in any other program (VLC, Plex, Apple Music, etc)

They all very likely resample in the background without informing the user.
