# DESCRIPTION
|
||||
|
||||
Devices such as audio sinks and sources, cameras and Bluetooth
|
||||
endpoints have properties that can be set in configuration files or at
|
||||
runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
Technically, nodes and devices have both "properties" and "parameters".
|
||||
The "properties" appear in \ref page_man_pw-dump_1 "pw-dump(1)" as `"props"`,
|
||||
and generally control other aspects than hardware features.
|
||||
The "parameters" are lower-level device settings, and technically
|
||||
are the configuration of the underlying SPA device/node implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
All device settings are usually configured in the session manager configuration.
|
||||
For how to configure them, see the session manager documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
In minimal PipeWire setups without a session manager, they can be configured via
|
||||
\ref pipewire_conf__context_objects "context.objects in pipewire.conf(5)".
|
||||
|
||||
# RUNTIME PARAMETERS @IDX@ device-param
|
||||
|
||||
Most ALSA and virtual device parameters can be configured also at runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
The settings are available in device `Props` in the `params`
|
||||
field. They can be seen e.g. using `pw-dump <id>` for an ALSA device:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
...
|
||||
"Props": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
...
|
||||
"params": [
|
||||
"audio.channels",
|
||||
2,
|
||||
"audio.rate",
|
||||
0,
|
||||
"audio.format",
|
||||
"UNKNOWN",
|
||||
"audio.position",
|
||||
"[ FL, FR ]",
|
||||
"audio.allowed-rates",
|
||||
"[ ]",
|
||||
"api.alsa.period-size",
|
||||
0,
|
||||
"api.alsa.period-num",
|
||||
0,
|
||||
"api.alsa.headroom",
|
||||
0,
|
||||
"api.alsa.start-delay",
|
||||
0,
|
||||
"api.alsa.disable-mmap",
|
||||
false,
|
||||
"api.alsa.disable-batch",
|
||||
false,
|
||||
"api.alsa.use-chmap",
|
||||
false,
|
||||
"api.alsa.multi-rate",
|
||||
true,
|
||||
"latency.internal.rate",
|
||||
0,
|
||||
"latency.internal.ns",
|
||||
0,
|
||||
"clock.name",
|
||||
"api.alsa.c-1"
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
One or more `params` can be changed using \ref page_man_pw-cli_1 "pw-cli(1)":
|
||||
```
|
||||
pw-cli s <id> Props '{ params = [ "api.alsa.headroom" 1024 ] }'
|
||||
```
|
||||
These settings are not saved and need to be reapplied for each session manager restart.
|
||||
|
||||
# COMMON NODE PROPERTIES @IDX@ device-param
|
||||
|
||||
These are common properties for nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-property priority.driver
|
||||
\parblock
|
||||
The priority of choosing this device as the driver in the graph. The driver is selected from all linked devices by selecting the device with the highest priority.
|
||||
|
||||
Normally, the session manager assigns higher priority to sources so that they become the driver in the graph. The reason for this is that adaptive resampling should be done on the sinks rather than the source to avoid signal distortion when capturing audio.
|
||||
\endparblock
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-property priority.session
|
||||
The priority for selecting this device as the default device.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-property clock.name
|
||||
\parblock
|
||||
The name of the clock. This name is auto generated from the card index and stream direction. Devices with the same clock name will not use a resampler to align the clocks. This can be used to link devices together with a shared word clock.
|
||||
|
||||
In Pro Audio mode, nodes from the same device are assumed to have the same clock and no resampling will happen when linked togther. So, linking a capture port to a playback port will not use any adaptive resampling in Pro Audio mode.
|
||||
|
||||
In Non Pro Audio profile, no such assumption is made and adaptive resampling is done in all cases by default. This can also be disabled by setting the same clock.name on the nodes.
|
||||
\endparblock
|
||||
|
||||
# AUDIO CONVERTER PARAMETERS @IDX@ device-param
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
converter. See \ref client_conf__stream_properties "pipewire-client.conf(5) stream.properties"

# ALSA PARAMETERS @IDX@ device-param
|
||||
|
||||
ALSA node parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param audio.channels
|
||||
The number of audio channels to open the device with. Defaults depends on the profile of the device.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param audio.rate
|
||||
The audio rate to open the device with. Default is 0, which means to open the device with a rate as close to the graph rate as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param audio.format
|
||||
The audio format to open the device in. By default this is "UNKNOWN", which will open the device in the best possible bits (32/24/16/8..). You can force a format like S16_LE or S32_LE.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param audio.position
|
||||
The audio position of the channels in the device. This is auto detected based on the profile. You can configure an array of channel positions, like "[ FL, FR ]".
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param audio.allowed-rates
|
||||
\parblock
|
||||
The allowed audio rates to open the device with. Default is "[ ]", which means the device can be opened in any supported rate.
|
||||
|
||||
Only rates from the array will be used to open the device. When the graph is running with a rate not listed in the allowed-rates, the resampler will be used to resample to the nearest allowed rate.
|
||||
\endparblock
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param api.alsa.period-size
|
||||
The period size to open the device in. By default this is 0, which will open the device in the default period size to minimize latency.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param api.alsa.period-num
|
||||
The amount of periods to use in the device. By default this is 0, which means to use as many as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param api.alsa.headroom
|
||||
The amount of extra space to keep in the ringbuffer. The default is 0. Higher values can be configured when the device read and write pointers are not accurately reported.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param api.alsa.start-delay
|
||||
Some devices require a startup period. The default is 0. Higher values can be set to send silence samples to the device first.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param api.alsa.disable-mmap
|
||||
Disable mmap operation of the device and use the ALSA read/write API instead. Default is false, mmap is preferred.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param api.alsa.disable-batch
|
||||
Ignore the ALSA batch flag. If the batch flag is set, ALSA will need an extra period to update the read/write pointers. Ignore this flag from ALSA can reduce the latency. Default is false.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param api.alsa.use-chmap
|
||||
Use the driver provided channel map. Default is false because many drivers don't report this correctly.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param api.alsa.multi-rate
|
||||
UNDOCUMENTED
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param api.alsa.htimestamp = false
|
||||
Use ALSA htimestamps in scheduling, instead of the system clock.
|
||||
Some ALSA drivers produce bad timestamps, so this is not enabled by default
|
||||
and will be disabled at runtime if it looks like the ALSA timestamps are bad.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param api.alsa.disable-tsched = false
|
||||
Disable timer-based scheduling, and use IRQ for scheduling instead.
|
||||
The "Pro Audio" profile will usually enable this setting, if it is expected it works on the hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param api.alsa.auto-link = false
|
||||
Link follower PCM devices to the driver PCM device when using IRQ-based scheduling.
|
||||
The "Pro Audio" profile will usually enable this setting, if it is expected it works on the hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param latency.internal.rate
|
||||
Static set the device systemic latency, in samples at playback rate.
|
||||
|
||||
@PAR@ device-param latency.internal.ns
|
||||
Static set the device systemic latency, in nanoseconds.
|
||||

|
||||
Available values: PCM, AC3, DTS, MPEG, MPEG2-AAC, EAC3, TRUEHD, DTSHD
|
||||
|
||||
# BLUETOOTH PARAMETERS @IDX@ device-param
|

@PAR@ device-param bluez5.roles
|
||||
\parblock
|
||||
Enabled roles (default: [ a2dp_sink a2dp_source bap_sink bap_source hfp_hf hfp_ag ])
|
||||
|
||||
Currently some headsets (Sony WH-1000XM3) are not working with
|
||||
both hsp_ag and hfp_ag enabled, so by default we enable only HFP.

||||
HFP/HSP hardware offload SCO support (default: false).
|
||||
|
||||
This feature requires a custom configuration that routes SCO audio to ALSA nodes,
|
||||
in a platform-specific way. See `tests/examples/bt-pinephone.lua` in WirePlumber for an example.
|
||||
Do not enable this setting if you don't know what all this means, as it won't work.

# ALSA CARD PROFILES @IDX@ device-param
|
||||
|
||||
The sound card profiles ("Analog stereo", "Analog stereo duplex", ...) except "Pro Audio" come from two sources:
|
||||
|
||||
- UCM: ALSA Use Case Manager: the profile configuration system from ALSA. See https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/
|
||||
- ACP ("Alsa Card Profiles"): Pulseaudio's profile system ported to PipeWire. See https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Backends/ALSA/Profiles/
|
||||
|
||||
See the above links on how to configure these systems.
|
||||
|
||||
For ACP, PipeWire looks for the profile configuration files under
|
||||
|
||||
- ~/.config/alsa-card-profile
|
||||
- /etc/alsa-card-profile
|
||||
- /usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer`.
|
||||
|
||||
The `path` and `profile-set` files are in subdirectories `paths` and `profile-sets` of these directories.
|
||||
It is possible to override individual files locally by putting a modified copy into the ACP directories under `~/.config` or `/etc`.
