[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/9] ASoC: TWL4030: Add mixer controls for outputs
by Peter Ujfalusi 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hello, I have tried to clean up the changes that I have at the momnent. After the series you will have 'ultimate' control on how the audio is routed to the outputs of TWL. One can select the possible inputs (for the output) on all cahnnels. Also I have added gain (volume) controls, wherever it is possible, but they are working for both channels in case of stereo outputs. I tried to name the controls to match with the output's name, so you can easily tell which pin(s) the control will touch. The capture part is not touched, yet. I have not included the changes regarding to the SND_SOC_DAPM_OUTPUT() things. So you have one (actually two) outputs and you can use the mixer interface to select where the audio actually routed. The next step is to make correct dapm mapping for the TWL, but that will take some time. Please comment, if I'm doing something that I should not. --- Peter Ujfalusi (9): ASoC: TWL4030: Change the Master volume control to TLV ASoC: TWL4030: Add CGAIN volume control ASoC: TWL4030: Add helper function for mux handling.

[alsa-devel] Infrasonic Quartet
by Vedran Miletić 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Auzen started to distribute one cool new Envy24HT-S card, and it looks really interesting to me. Specs are awesome, and it also has word clock on card! http://www.auzentech.com/site/products/infra_quartet.php http://www.infra-sonic.com/site/p_PCI_quartet.php http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829156007 According to envy24.svobodno.com, it has: Infrasonic Quartet 0x3030 0x4953 Envy24HT-S - supported by ALSA AK4620B (ADC / DAC) - not sure, probably not supported? AK4112 - not sure either? However it has Xilinx on card in similar way as ESI Juli@ does, so it's probably not a standard Envy24HT-S card. Any ideas if this card could be supported? -- Vedran Miletić

[alsa-devel] [topic/asoc][RFC 0/1] ASoC: OMAP: Add support for mono link configuration to McBSP DAI
by Jarkko Nikula 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

Hi I'm trying to cover also pure mono codecs like bluetooth audio with McBSP DAI driver. Protocol part is trivial like patch here but interfacing with machine driver is somewhat question mark. With this patch, machine driver needs to "hack" with cpu_dai in its init function: cpu_dai->playback.channels_min = 1; cpu_dai->playback.channels_max = 1; cpu_dai->capture.channels_min = 1; cpu_dai->capture.channels_max = 1; Another idea is to introduce new omap_mcbsp_dai_mono[] array in omap-mcbsp.c and initialize those with modified builder macro, e.g: -#define OMAP_MCBSP_DAI_BUILDER(link_id) \ +#define OMAP_MCBSP_DAI_BUILDER(link_id, min_ch, max_ch) \ { \ .name = "omap-mcbsp-dai-"#link_id, \ .id = (link_id), \ .type = SND_SOC_DAI_I2S, \ .playback = { \ - .channels_min = 2, \ - .channels_max = 2, \ + .channels_min = (min_ch), \ + .channels_max = (max_ch), \ ... struct snd_soc_dai omap_mcbsp_dai[] = { - OMAP_MCBSP_DAI_BUILDER(0), - OMAP_MCBSP_DAI_BUILDER(1), + OMAP_MCBSP_DAI_BUILDER(0, 2, 2), + OMAP_MCBSP_DAI_BUILDER(1, 2, 2), #if NUM_LINKS >= 3 ... and +struct snd_soc_dai omap_mcbsp_dai_mono[] = { + OMAP_MCBSP_DAI_BUILDER(0, 1, 1), + OMAP_MCBSP_DAI_BUILDER(1, 1, 1), +#if NUM_LINKS >= 3 ... but this looks a bit overkill if typical configuration has only one such a mono link and might confuse if a machine driver still needs to reference those arrays using sequential array index like: .cpu_dai = &omap_mcbsp_dai[0], and .cpu_dai = &omap_mcbsp_dai_mono[1], sequential since if I like that cpu_dai->id is also sequential for links. Opinnions or better ideas :-) -- Jarkko

Probe-mask=1 works OK but not the others. model=lenovo-ms7195-dig doesn't work. Kmix shows varying channels depending on the 'model' or 'probe-mask' used. probe-mask=1 gives the most channels. alsamixer now loads up OK but still no sound. Shows as ALC883 with 'probe-mask=1' Starting Amarok elicits the xine error dialogue window with "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers" UPDATE: With 'probe-mask=1 and using Rhythmbox I can get sound out of the speakers and the front headphone jack. Volume not very high out of the speakers but is good from the headphones. Too much system activity or keyboard activity (I'm writing this listening to Tchaikovsky and I can hear interruptions from the keyboard at times) seems to interfere with the audio stream. Also there is a lot of noise from the CD drive coming through the earphones. Don't know how that is happening. Pulseaudio Vol Cntl can be used as can the panel Vol. Cntl. and also alsamixer. <end quote> The last things I asked him to try, were to disable Pulseaudio, by removing the package alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, and to try the latest snapshot for the alsa driver. Disabling pulseaudio has resulted in good sound levels from the speakers, but as he is away for a few days, he hasn't yet tried the latest snapshot of the alsa driver. A few extra details. Without a model option all snd modules were loaded, but no card was detected. Using the option model=medion, resulted in the card being detected, but problems with alsamixer as below. model=mitac gives same results as below. <quote from Graeme's reply on user list> [graeme@flintstone ~]$ amixer ALSA lib simple_none.c:1491:(simple_add1) helem (MIXER,'Headphone Playback Switch',0,2,0) appears twice or more amixer: Mixer default load error: Invalid argument [graeme@flintstone ~]$ alsamixer ALSA lib simple_none.c:1491:(simple_add1) helem (MIXER,'Headphone Playback Switch',0,2,0) appears twice or more alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument <end quote> Then I searched through the changelog, found the bug report about the codec conflicts, and suggested probe_mask=1, which has got the sound working. I think I've gone about as far as I can now, which is why I'm posting this to the devel list. Nigel.

Hi, New to this mailing list so please go easy on me. I've been reading through the Alsa docs, wiki, and still not sure of the best approach, so looking for advice from the experts. I'm looking to develop support for the Samson C01U USB studio microphone. http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1810 This currently does work via the snd-usb-audio alsa driver, but not in a way that is particularly usable (to the extent that many users have been reporting it as "not working". I thought I might attempt to remedy this. The problem is that, internally, the device contains two digitally controlled amplifiers. Both of these gain controls are exposed via the USB interface (and, hence, by snd-usb-audio) and you can even access the audio stream which is output from each amp. The problem is the raw gain controls are not meant to be accessed directly in this way. The output of one of the amps is fed into the input of the other. With the Windows and Mac OSX drivers, only one gain control is presented. When this is is altered, the driver adjusts the gain of both amplifiers in order to get the correct output level but with minimum noise. In effect, there is a "virtual gain control" which is used to adjust the real gain controls in a predefined way. By careful "twiddling" of the controls it's possible to get the microphone working properly, but it is, quite frankly, a very poor way to handle the problem and is really beyond what should be expected of most users. I would like to do something about this if I can. My aim is to develop something which presents a single gain control to users which controls the internal amp gains in a sensible way. The question is, what is the best way to approach this? Looking at it, I believe there are three possible approaches. In order of my preference they are: 1) Develop at alsa driver level to get a driver which presents a single mixer control to users 2) Develop a new plugin for alsa which can be patched in via asoundrc to provide a generic "Virtual gain control" 3) Provide a user-space tool, a bit like envy24control, which provides this capability My question to the alsa-devel community is which path should I take? As I said my preference is to do something at the driver level simply because it would be most transparent to users and applications: it would simply work. It may also require less code. If this is the correct path to take, this then presents some sub-options (again in order of preference): a) Patch the existing snd-usb-audio driver with some vendor-specific code for this devices (and others which will be similar, like the C03U) b) Fork the snd-usb-driver into a new vendor-specific version and modify as before I prefer a) again because it is transparent to the users, whilst b) will require modprobe or udev configuration, but there may be reasons why it is undesirable to "bloat" the code of snd-usb-audio with vendor-specific tweaks. Bear in mind at this stage I haven't even looked at any of the code yet. Once I do I'm sure to have more questions. But at the moment my question is simply: which is the best way to approach this to be compatible with the aims and philosophy of Alsa? Many thanks, -- Keith A. Milner

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: TWL4030: Disable soft-volume
by Peter Ujfalusi 24 Nov '08

24 Nov '08

Keep Soft-volume disabled for now, since if it is enabled the FGAIN volume controls are not working in the current configuration: CODEC_MODE:OPT_MODE = 1 OPTION:ARXR2_EN = 1 OPTION:ARXL2_EN = 1 OPTION:ARXR1_EN = 0 OPTION:ARXL1_VRX_EN = 0 RX_PATH_SEL:RXL1_SEL = 0x0 (or 0x1) RX_PATH_SEL:RXR1_SEL = 0x0 (or 0x1) After the patch, FGAIN volume control works.
