Logs now show:
- Device index
- Device name
- Is default
- Supported configs (channels/sample rates)
This helps identify devices when pretty names aren't clear.
PREVIOUS WRONG APPROACH (commit 212aae5):
- Used pactl to enumerate devices (PipeWire sink names)
- Tried to open those sink names with CPAL
- CPAL couldn't find PipeWire sink names → fell back to default
- Attempted workaround: change system default with set_pipewire_default_sink
- UNACCEPTABLE: Changed system-wide default, affecting all apps
ROOT CAUSE (identified by ChatGPT research):
- CPAL can open specific devices by name (research was correct)
- BUT: Name mismatch between pactl sinks and CPAL device names
- pactl returns: "alsa_output.usb-Cambridge_Audio..." (PipeWire sink)
- CPAL sees: "DacMagic Plus Analog Stereo" (user-friendly name)
CORRECT SOLUTION:
- Use CPAL for BOTH enumeration AND opening devices
- CPAL device names are consistent: enumerate → save → find → open
- No need to change system default
- Device selection only affects QBZ
CHANGES:
1. Rewrote get_pipewire_sinks() on Linux to use CPAL instead of pactl
2. Removed all calls to set_pipewire_default_sink()
3. Pass CPAL device names directly to reinit_audio_device()
4. CPAL can now find and open devices because names match
BENEFITS:
- ✅ Device selection only affects QBZ (not system-wide)
- ✅ No regresions
- ✅ No features lost
- ✅ Works exactly like librespot (Spotify client in Rust)
- ✅ Consistent with rodio/CPAL architecture
TESTING REQUIRED:
1. Select Cambridge DAC in QBZ → audio plays through Cambridge
2. Open Firefox/other app → uses its own device (unaffected)
3. Toggle devices in QBZ → changes correctly
4. Restart QBZ → restores saved device
5. DAC passthrough bit-perfect → works
ROOT CAUSE:
CPAL/Rodio (the audio library) cannot open PipeWire sinks by name directly.
CPAL only sees ALSA device names like "default", "hw:0,0", etc., not
PipeWire sink names like "alsa_output.usb-Cambridge_Audio...".
When we tried to pass the PipeWire sink name to reinit_audio_device(), CPAL
couldn't find it and fell back to system default, ignoring user selection.
SOLUTION:
1. When user selects a device, set it as PipeWire default using pactl
2. Pass device: null to reinit_audio_device() (uses PipeWire default)
3. On app startup, restore saved device as PipeWire default
This works because:
- PipeWire's "default" sink can be changed programmatically
- CPAL can successfully open "default" device
- The default sink points to the user's selected device
TRADE-OFFS:
- QBZ changes the system-wide PipeWire default sink
- Other apps will also use this sink (unless they specify their own)
- This is unavoidable with CPAL - it's the only way to select a specific
PipeWire sink from Rust without using PipeWire/ALSA APIs directly
AFFECTED FUNCTIONS:
- handleOutputDeviceChange() - Sets sink as default when user selects device
- handleExclusiveModeChange() - Restores saved sink as default before reinit
- handleDacPassthroughChange() - Restores saved sink as default before reinit
- handleGaplessPlaybackChange() - Restores saved sink as default before reinit
- handleCrossfadeChange() - Restores saved sink as default before reinit
- loadAudioSettings() - Restores saved sink as default on app startup
PROBLEM:
When selecting an audio device in QBZ settings, the app was changing
the system-wide PipeWire default sink, affecting all applications.
ROOT CAUSE:
handleOutputDeviceChange() was calling set_pipewire_default_sink(),
which changes the PipeWire default for the entire system.
FIX:
Removed set_pipewire_default_sink() call. The backend reinit_audio_device()
already handles opening a specific device for QBZ without changing the
system default.
Now QBZ uses the selected device independently from the system default.
PROBLEM:
When user selected a specific audio device (e.g., Cambridge Audio DAC),
audio would always play through system default device (laptop speakers)
instead of the selected device.
ROOT CAUSE:
All calls to reinit_audio_device() were passing device: null instead of
the actual selected device name. When device: null is passed, the Player
falls back to system default regardless of user selection.
Affected functions:
- handleOutputDeviceChange() - Primary bug, selected device ignored
- handleExclusiveModeChange() - Reset to default when toggling
- handleDacPassthroughChange() - Reset to default when toggling
- handleGaplessPlaybackChange() - Reset to default when auto-disabling DAC
- handleCrossfadeChange() - Reset to default when auto-disabling DAC
FIX:
Created getCurrentDeviceSinkName() helper that:
- Returns the internal sink name for selected device
- Returns null only for "System Default" selection
- Used consistently across all audio setting changes
SECONDARY CHANGES:
Improved DAC Passthrough warning messages in AudioOutputBadges:
- "ERROR: PipeWire is resampling" instead of generic warning
- Clearer tooltip guidance for fixing resampling issues
- Better distinction between active/warning/disabled states
This ensures device selection persists across all audio setting changes
and provides clearer feedback when bit-perfect playback is compromised.
Tooltip improvements:
- Consolidate duplicate tooltips into single unified tooltip
- Show device info + DAC status + sample rate in one place
- Remove native 'title' attributes that were causing conflicts
- Add visual indicators (colored dots) for setting states
- Display resampling warning with actual rates when detected
- Better structured tooltip with sections
Mutual exclusion enforcement:
- Validate settings on load in loadAudioSettings()
- Auto-disable Gapless and Crossfade if DAC Passthrough is enabled
- Prevents invalid state from persisted settings
This fixes the issue where users could have incompatible settings
active simultaneously after app restart.
AudioOutputBadges was importing currentTrack from playerStore, which doesn't
export a reactive store. This caused the app to crash with a 500 error.
Solution: Pass samplingRate as a prop from NowPlayingBar instead of trying
to import track data directly. This matches the existing pattern used by
other components like QualityBadge.
Backend changes:
- Add audio_diagnostics module to read actual hardware sample rate from /proc/asound
- New command get_hardware_audio_status() parses hw_params for real-time monitoring
- Add glob dependency for file pattern matching
Frontend (AudioOutputBadges):
- Implement 3-state DAC badge system:
- Green: DAC passthrough working correctly (rates match)
- Yellow: DAC passthrough ON but resampling detected (warning)
- Gray: DAC passthrough OFF (intentionally disabled)
- Dynamic tooltips showing actual hardware sample rate
- Compare file sample rate vs hardware sample rate
- Increase tooltip z-index to 9999 to prevent occlusion issues
- Add pointer-events: none to tooltip to prevent interaction issues
Frontend (SettingsView):
- Replace hardcoded "192 kHz" with dynamic hardware sample rate
- Load and display actual hardware audio status
- Show format details (e.g., S32_LE) when available
- Display "No active playback" when no audio is playing
- Add muted styling for inactive state
Frontend (QualityBadge):
- Add native tooltip showing tier and format
- Add cursor: help to indicate interactivity
i18n:
- Add "noActivePlayback" translations (EN/ES)
This allows users to verify bit-perfect playback is working and detect
resampling issues that would compromise audio quality.
Remove isExternal requirement for DAC Passthrough badge activation.
The badge now lights up when DAC Passthrough setting is enabled,
regardless of whether the device is detected as external or internal.
This fixes the issue where the badge would remain off even when
DAC passthrough was working (confirmed by 192kHz reaching hardware).
Add auto-disable logic to prevent incompatible settings from being enabled simultaneously:
Frontend (SettingsView.svelte):
- DAC Passthrough ON → auto-disables Gapless Playback and Crossfade
- Gapless Playback ON → auto-disables DAC Passthrough
- Crossfade > 0 → auto-disables DAC Passthrough
- Added handleGaplessPlaybackChange() and handleCrossfadeChange() handlers
- Modified handleDacPassthroughChange() to disable incompatible settings
Backend (player/mod.rs):
- Only recreate OutputStream on format change when DAC passthrough is enabled
- When DAC passthrough is OFF: reuse existing stream for gapless transitions
- When DAC passthrough is ON: recreate stream for bit-perfect playback
- Added detailed logging for stream recreation decisions
This fixes the issue where Gapless Playback was enabled but gaps still occurred
due to DAC passthrough forcing stream recreation on sample rate changes.
The previous implementation tried to map ALSA device names (from cpal)
to PipeWire descriptions, but the naming schemes are completely different:
- cpal returns names like "plughw:1,0"
- pactl returns sink names like "alsa_output.usb-Cambridge_Audio_..."
This fix changes the approach:
1. Use PipeWire sinks directly for the device dropdown (already filtered
to real outputs and have friendly descriptions like "DacMagic Plus")
2. Store the PipeWire sink name when user selects a device
3. Set the PipeWire default sink using pactl when device is selected
4. Use rodio's default device (which follows PipeWire's default)
This ensures users see 4-5 meaningful devices with friendly names
instead of 30+ raw ALSA device names.
Backend changes:
- Add set_pipewire_default_sink command (pactl set-default-sink)
- Register new command in lib.rs
Frontend changes:
- Use pipewireSinks directly for device dropdown
- Display sink description (friendly name)
- Store sink name (for pactl)
- Call set_pipewire_default_sink when device changes
- Remove unused AudioDevice interface and getDevicePrettyName import
The play_data function was calling decode_with_symphonia which decoded
the entire audio file (271MB+) just to extract sample_rate and channels.
This caused 30-35 second delays between download complete and playback.
New extract_audio_metadata function:
- For FLAC: uses rodio decoder (reads headers only)
- For isomp4: uses symphonia probe to read codec_params without decoding
This restores the fast playback we had before.
Add URI scheme handler registration for OAuth flow implementation:
- Register x-scheme-handler/qbz in .desktop files
- Add %u parameter to Exec for URL handling
- Add OpenURI portal permission in Flatpak manifest
This enables OAuth PKCE flows for Spotify and other providers
to redirect back to the application after browser authentication.

Improvements to the Wayland compatibility fix:
Detection:
- Add NVIDIA GPU detection via /proc and kernel modules
- Apply DMA-BUF workaround only on NVIDIA systems
- Preserve full acceleration on Intel/AMD GPUs
User Overrides:
- QBZ_FORCE_DMABUF=1: Force-enable DMA-BUF (bypass workaround)
- QBZ_DISABLE_DMABUF=1: Force-disable DMA-BUF
- QBZ_FORCE_X11=1: Force X11 backend on Wayland
Diagnostics:
- Clear logging of display server type
- NVIDIA detection status
- Applied workarounds and reasons
- User override notifications
This makes the fix selective and transparent while protecting
NVIDIA + Wayland users from fatal protocol errors.

cc
This commit implements proper sample rate passthrough for high-quality
audio playback, addressing issue #10 where DAC sample rates were locked
at 44.1kHz regardless of file quality.
Core Changes:
- Modified Player to accept and store AudioSettings (exclusive mode, DAC passthrough)
- Updated AudioCommand::Play to include sample_rate and channels metadata
- Created create_output_stream_with_config() to build custom StreamConfig
- Added sample rate tracking to detect changes between tracks
- Modified Play handler to recreate OutputStream when sample rate changes
- Updated play_data() to extract audio metadata before playback
- Modified lib.rs to read AudioSettings on startup and pass to Player
Device Detection Improvements (Issue #4):
- Added display_name and device_type fields to AudioDevice struct
- Implemented get_pipewire_device_descriptions() to extract friendly names
- Updated get_audio_devices() to map technical names to user-friendly names
- Added device type detection (USB, HDMI, PCI, Bluetooth)
Technical Details:
- Audio files are decoded twice: once for metadata, once for playback
- Stream is recreated only when sample rate or channel count changes
- Falls back to default device config if custom config fails
- Supports both PipeWire and PulseAudio device naming via pactl
- Logs sample rate transitions and OutputStream configuration
Files Modified:
- src-tauri/src/player/mod.rs: Core playback engine changes
- src-tauri/src/lib.rs: Initialize Player with AudioSettings
- src-tauri/src/commands/playback.rs: Device enumeration improvements
Tested: Compiles successfully on Linux with Rust 1.92
Immediate and Accumulated scrobbling cannot be enabled at the same
time, but both can be disabled. When one is turned on, the other
is automatically turned off.
Show favorite and download indicators for unavailable Qobuz tracks
to maintain column alignment. The elements are already non-interactive
due to pointer-events: none on the wrapper.
- Remove wifi-off icon from unavailable tracks in playlist detail view,
keeping only the disabled styling for a cleaner look
- Rename "Available Offline" filter to "Fully Available Offline" to
clarify it shows only playlists where all tracks are available
- Update filter logic to only show all_local playlists in the fully
available filter, not partially available ones
- Fix visible filter in offline mode to respect showPartialPlaylists
setting by using isPlaylistAvailableOffline function
The hasLocalContent field was never being calculated - it was just
read from settings (always undefined). Now calculate it dynamically
from actual data:
- localTrackCounts.get(playlistId) - number of local tracks
- playlist.tracks_count - number of Qobuz tracks
Status calculation:
- 'no': localCount === 0 (not available offline)
- 'all_local': localCount > 0 && qobuzCount === 0 (fully available)
- 'some_local': localCount > 0 && qobuzCount > 0 (partially available)
This fixes Show partial playlists toggle and Partially available
filter in playlist manager.
L1 (Memory): 300MB for ~3-4 Hi-Res tracks, instant access
L2 (Disk): 500MB playback cache at ~/.cache/qbz/playback/
Flow:
- When track evicted from memory, saved to disk cache
- When loading: check memory → disk → download cache → network
- Tracks promoted back to memory when accessed from disk
This reduces re-downloads when navigating back to recently played
tracks in mixed playlists.
- Stop playback immediately when starting a Qobuz track to prevent
previous track from continuing during download
- Show buffering toast while downloading Qobuz audio
- Skip buffering UI for local tracks since they load instantly
- Add is_local field to QueueTrack for prefetch optimization
- Update prefetch to skip local tracks (no network needed)
- Update all queue track builders to include is_local flag
Remove reactive effect that was causing infinite re-renders due to
inline callback function recreation. Replace with imperative calls
to notifyParentOfCounts() after data loading completes.
The effect was reading onPlaylistCountUpdate which got recreated
on every parent re-render, triggering the effect again in a loop.
Wire onPlaylistCountUpdate from PlaylistDetailView to Sidebar's
updatePlaylistCounts method in +page.svelte. This ensures the
sidebar displays accurate track counts from the database instead
of calculated values that could drift out of sync.

Add offline mode filtering to sidebar playlist list to match behavior
in PlaylistManagerView. Playlists without local content are hidden
when in offline mode, respecting the showPartialPlaylists setting.
The section refs were not reactive, so the derived array captured undefined
values at definition time. Changed to resolve refs at call time using a
getSectionEl() function instead of capturing them in a derived array.
The login state check was causing race conditions on app startup because
offline status was being checked before auto_login completed. Since the
frontend already handles showing LoginView when not logged in, the
NotLoggedIn check in offline detection was redundant and problematic.
Now offline detection only checks:
1. Manual offline mode (from settings)
2. Network connectivity (via HTTP HEAD to qobuz.com)
Refresh offline status after successful login to prevent false offline
detection. Previously, the offline status was checked during bootstrap
before auto_login completed, causing 'NotLoggedIn' reason even though
the user would be logged in moments later.
