Best pulseaudio mic settings

Install pulseaudio

sudo apt install pulseaudio pavucontrol

Copy the pulse audio folder into config and open using nano

sudo cp -r /etc/pulse ~/.config/
sudo nano ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf

Find a line that says

;avoid-resampling = false

Remove semi-colon and set to true

avoid-resampling = true

Now do Ctrl+X,Y to accept and Enter to save.

Find out which resample methods your PulseAudio setup supports. In terminal, type

pulseaudio --dump-resample-methods

and take a look at the output. You should see some speex-float-#, etc. I read that "float" is best for most computers, and 0-10 is the "quality". We want the highest quality possible... 10. Make note of that, for example speex-float-10. We'll put that in our config file next.

Go back into the config file like before, using

sudo nano ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf

Change

resample-method = speex-float-#

to the new method that we just found. Delete the semi-colon. Ctrl-X, Y, and Enter to save.

Open the /etc/pulse/default.pa file and go to the end of the file and add

load-module module-udev-detect

Restart PulseAudio. To do this, type

pulseaudio --kill
pulseaudio --start

Wait a moment, and it will restart itself with the new settings.

You are done!
