by Takashi Iwai 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

Hi, per popular demand, I wrote a brief document more about HD-audio driver. It's now found in sound git tree as Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt. The git tree is: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git You can get the text from web: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git;a=blob_plain;… A PDF file is found at: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/docs/HD-Audio.pdf Comments, corrections and additions are appreciated. thanks, Takashi

[alsa-devel] ASoC: asound.conf
by naveen krishna ch 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

Hi all, I have a custom built ASoC CODEC driver for twl4030. I am integrating my kernel (ASoC driver) with the application. The application expects a /etc/asound.conf file is there any utility to build or restore the asound.conf for my ASoC driver. I have checked the "alsactl" which can give me the state/controls information. Do i need to make a asound.conf file.If so, can any one help my with some information (a sample asound.conf) with details of the driver in it. Sorry, if this the wrong place to raise this issue. -- Thanks, (: Naveen Krishna Ch :)

[alsa-devel] 2.6.26.[6|7]-rt11, alsa rawmidi, seq hang
by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

(starting a new thread with the hope of being more precise after a lot of testing and rebooting) I'm seeing a realtime patch related hard hang in the kernel alsa subsystem (MIDI input/output). In a nutshell: - alsa rawmidi works (ie: "rawmidi -v -i hw:0" outputs a stream of messages when pointed to a midi capable card that has an external keyboard connected). - the alsa sequencer interface works (ie: aplaymidi connected to aseqdump transfers data just fine). - BOTH combined do NOT work (ie: use aconnect to connect the port that corresponds to the external midi interface to aseqdump: aseqdump hangs forever after transferring the first message and the only way out is a reboot). Just tested this on 2.6.26.7 + rt11, Gina3G soundcard with an external MIDI keyboard sending messages. This is not specific to the Gina card, I have tested also USB midi interfaces and an RME hdsp card with a Multiface interface. 2.6.24.7 + rt21 works fine on the same hardware combinations. The standard Fedora 9 2.6.26.x kernel works fine as well. I'm attaching the kernel configuration for the kernel I'm currently testing plus a dmesg dump of the whole boot process (rt kernel hackers can find there some additional sleeping in wrong context warning messages there), including the output of a "echo t >/proc/sysrq-trigger" that should show where aseqdump currently hangs (or so I think). Hopefully this will narrow the area affected enough so that a solution can be found or more debugging info can be requested. Currently 2.6.26.x-rtx is unusable for musical purposes (at least when you have to interact with external midi controllers). Thanks for any help... -- Fernando

If you prepare a Wiki for the HD-Audio, don't forget to merge somehow ALSA-Configuration.txt. IMO this goes together.

[alsa-devel] Idea about the laptop speakers
by Alexander E. Patrakov 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

Hello developers, some time ago, people complained that the sound came out from both the laptop speakers and headphones. While in many cases this is not desirable, I think this effect (when configurable via opening a different PCM) can be useful in the following situation. Suppose that you have a laptop as your main working machine. The headset is always connected, but you are not always near the laptop (e.g., think better if you walk in the room). Then, you configure (by telling it to open different devices) your SIP softphone to play voice through headphones only, but play ringtones through both headphones and speakers. Thus, you can walk in the room without being afraid to miss a call. Is the above proposal implementable? -- Alexander E. Patrakov
