USB and SPDIF DAC not switching sample rate

General
1

I’ve run across several old threads with the same issue. It seems that Coreelec has an issue where it does not signal sample rate changes to ALSA when using a usb dac. Instead, the sample rate remains at 48khz. I even tried setting a fixed sample rate, but the DAC never switches.

For completeness, I ran aplay --dump-hw-params -D hw:1,0 -f cd /dev/zero

HW Params of device "hw:1,0":

I even tried using SPDIF output and it still does not switch sample rates under any circumstances.

It seems that PulseAudio does not recognize the correct sample rates:

Does anyone know how to manually m_sampleRates?
