## Local audio through ALSA
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the config file, you can select ALSA for local audio. This is the default.

When using ALSA, the server will try to synchronize playback with AirPlay. You
|
|
|
|
|
can adjust the synchronization in the config file.

|
For most setups the default values in the config file should work. If they
|
|
|
|
|
don't, there is help [here](../advanced/outputs-alsa.md)

## Local audio, Bluetooth and more through PulseAudio

|
In the config file, you can select PulseAudio for local audio. In addition to
|
|
|
|
|
local audio, PulseAudio also supports an array of other targets, e.g. Bluetooth
|
|
|
|
|
or DLNA. However, PulseAudio does require some setup, so here is a separate page
|
|
|
|
|
with some help on that: [PulseAudio](../advanced/outputs-pulse.md)

|
|
|
Note that if you select PulseAudio the "card" setting in the config file has
|
|
|
|
|
no effect. Instead all sound cards detected by PulseAudio will be listed as
|

|
|
|
speakers by OwnTone.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
You can adjust the latency of PulseAudio playback in the config file.
