Best Browser For Audio Quality?
Hello,
well a little side story, i abonded Windows 2-3 years ago for “serious listening” because my raspberry pi streamer (with currently moode) sounds way better
i used linux for a while for my main pc but even linux isnt perfect because of pulseaudio and i switched back to windows (mainly because of games)
but i got to the point recently, if i wanna use my PC for multimedia purposes (watching netflix, youtube, playing games etc) in the highest audio quality possible i probably need to switch back to Linux and either use ALSA on its own (like moode audio) or try PipeWire instead of PulseAudio
from here: i prefer if you guys give your opinion on browsers for LINUX, since i think Windows has many flaws on its own for Audio (like crappy resampling)
now to my question, did one of you either try different browser subjectively and heared a difference? (i just tried firefox vs opera which is chromium based under windows and i think firefox sounds a little better)
or does someone has a idea how the browser operate objectivly? since browser, as i understand it, use their own resampling/audio core im wondering which one does work with the least resampling (which i would guess is 44,1khz since the majority of sources will probably be 44,1khz) so the browser acts just as a passtrough
maybe one browser even streams audio in the native samplerate and just resamples the second audio source (tab) to the first one? this would be actually really great imo
Once i installed Linux the upcoming days i can check this probably myself since there was a easy way to see the samplerates of the different applications if i remember right, this should be easy enough to see how the browser react with different streams/multiple sources, i would guess/fear that the browser work differently under Windows tho if someone is curious here
Best Regards
