Hi all,
I was a bit miffed that I could not listen to high resolution flac files when I got my Model Y a couple of years ago.
Connect USB storage, 24/96 and 24/192 flac files appear in the playlist but only produces a file read error when I try to play the selection.
The solution...
I re-encoded my flac files to a sample rate which is a multiple of 44.1kHz, that is: 88.2 or 176.4 kHz
Thus I would slightly downsample 24/96 to 24/88.2 and 24/192 to 24/176.4 kHz
These play fine and sound great on the Tesla infotainment system.
Not sure why that is, I've never encountered a DAC which behaves this way.
If anyone knows I'd be interested in the reason - but if you don't mind the extra work of resampling your audio for the USB stick, it is at least something!
P.S.
I use sox for this job, e.g.:
sox song-at-24-192.flac -r 176400 song-at-24-176.flac
sox song-at-24-96.flac -r 88200 song-at-24-88.flac
Writing a shell script to convert and place the files in a directory, ready to copy to the USB device makes it a little less of a hassle.
