Verified PipeWire
Cacao tries to match the sample rate of your track through PipeWire and checks the current output. Rate matching does not guarantee bit-perfect playback.
A device for Cacao
Direct ALSA
Uses an available ALSA hardware output exclusively. Choose it for a separate listening device that other apps are not using.
Not sure where to start?
Start with Compatibility for everyday listening. Direct ALSA needs an available device that you can dedicate to Cacao.
