I faced a problem (Debian 11) with incorrect sample format used for my microphone (webcam) which brings high speech rate at any voice chats.
With arecord I used format s16_le and that record had normal speed of speech. I used ~/.asoundrc file contains
pcm.!microphone {
type hw
ipc_key 4096
ipc_perm 0666
slave.pcm "hw:0,0" #found webcam via arecord -l
slave
{
channels 1
format S16_LE
}
}
when I restarted audio system with
pulseaudio -k
and checked via Skype I had normal voice record but the next tries brought high speed speech back.
Also I have no idea how to use ipc_key and ipc_perm correctly.
I have tried to uncomment a line default-sample-format = s16le in the file /etc/pulse/demon.conf It made no differences.
I have checked many (tons) resources but all of them had no solution to me. I hope to find here anyone who knows how to deal with such problem.
