[alsa-devel] Bug report, multichannel LPCM over nvidia HDMI not working
by Chris Howells 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hi, I am trying to get multi-channel LPCM working over HDMI, from an Acer Revo (Nvidia Ion) to a Sony STR-DH800 amp. 2 channel LPCM is working perfectly, as is bitstreaming AC3 and DTS (with xbmc). The latest I've tried is with kernel 2.6.31.1. I am testing with speaker-test. I have found that: 'speaker-test -D hdmi -c2' works perfect. The amp lights up show 2 channel LPCM. Sound is from the front left and front right. http://chrishowells.co.uk/speakertest2ch.jpg 'speaker-test -D hdmi -c6' or (-c8) does not work. The amp realises that there is some PCM sounds, but the amp does not seem to recognise the stream properly, *however*, sound does come out of the left and right. http://chrishowells.co.uk/speakertest6ch.jpg The version of speaker-test is from Alsa 1.0.20. Here's the results of running alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d90ca1ce07bf20af3241114b11fb31f79ed63fec The 'Misc = NO_PRESENCE' struck me as being a bit odd. The Revo has been upgraded to the A2 bios (didn't work with A1 either), and the Nvidia drivers are 190.32. I've spent quite a few days trying to get this work, including alsa 1.0.20 and 1.0.21 on ubuntu 9.04 with and without the 8ch patch, Ubuntu karmic beta standard, as well as patching alsa 1.0.20 it with the 8ch patch. Most grateful for any help.

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] sscape: force AD1848 codec mode on old Soundscape

[alsa-devel] step-by-step usb-snd-audio instructions?
by Anna Keenan 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hi there ALSA people, I'm very new to Linux, running an eee pc 1000H withLinux Easypeasy 1.5 and the new skype beta. I love my USB headset - I'm frequently on international skype conference calls and on other operating systems I've found that nothing else gives me a clear sound. But I am apparently missing the usb-snd-audio driver, as it doesn't come packaged with Easypeasy, so my beloved headset won't function. Skype audio is generally also really crackly when i'm using the normal microphone and speakers, but i think that's a different problem. Does anyone out there have step-by-step instructions on how to add the snd-usb-audio driver? I've found no user-friendly 'how to' online, despite hours trawling (and posting on) forums... I would *so* love some help or even a response telling where else I should be looking for help...

Since your card is nb. 1, perhaps asterisk uses a default configuration for card0 which may not be present on your system. Pavel.

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] sound: Don't assume i2c device probing always succeeds
by Jean Delvare 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

If i2c device probing fails, then there is no driver to dereference after calling i2c_new_device(). Stop assuming that probing will always succeed, to avoid NULL pointer dereferences. We have an easier access to the driver anyway.

[alsa-devel] hda-intel via codec on optical sound [PARTIAL SUCCESS]
by AL13N 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

forget about all of it, i'm a stupid doofus ------------------------------------------------------- First of all, I HAVE optical sound output. secondly, the hda analyzer still reports the connector as not_present thirdly, i probably have found a bug: * it happens when playing passthrough DD and DTS, as well as when using a52 * what happens is that the front right is playing on the LFE (muffled, but that's probably normal) * so when speakertesting -t wav -c 6 to a52 which points to hw0,1 , my optical surround set recognizes it as dolby sound, no problem. * the sound "front right" as well as the LFE comes from the subwoofer. * keep in mind this also happens in passthrough. What i've done, is i'm using alsa-driver-1.0.21 (after seeing some digital out changes between 19 and 21.) It is weird that it still says not_connected in codec#0, but the "-D iec958:CARD=SB" seems to work fine. can anyone help me find the bug? or tell me this is not a bug? Sincerely, AL13N ----------------------------------------------------------------- I have posted this, but no reaction on alsa-user... (i'm not on the alsa-devel list) Maybe this is a bug somewhere, that is what i wish to know. I have a onboard hda_intel card. it has 2 codes and is split in 2 parts: * via * atihdmi I want to have sound in the optical output SPDIF/TOSLINK whatever you want to call it. hdanalyzer shows 2 digital pins: 0x20 ext SPDIF ATAPI 0x21 ext SPDIF Optical but both are marked as 'not present'. the "2d card has only one pin and one audio out" on the motherboard there is an internal SPDIF connector, which may be the ATAPI one. I believe that the SPDIF Optical is the correct one. Why is it not present? is that something software related? or is the audio chip broken? that is what i really want to know at this point. is it broken or can it be fixed? mail sent to alsa-user: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i have only an optical link to surround set, (which has worked before) to test out. the toslink looks red on the surround endpoint. the surround system always says: "no data" (analog stereo or DD or DTS causes it to show a diff text) when i play something, (be it stereo, DD or DTS sample) at iec958 , the /proc/asound/card0/pcm1p/sub0/status shows effectively that the sound IS running there. I've set all soundlevels to 75% and unmuted everything. i've looked at the codec#0 file and that may give something: node 0x21 (digital with optical connector) shows as not present. it looks like there are on seperate models for the VIA codec. how would i go solve this?

[alsa-devel] hda-intel via codec on optical sound [PARTIAL SUCCESS]
by AL13N 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

First of all, I HAVE optical sound output. secondly, the hda analyzer still reports the connector as not_present thirdly, i probably have found a bug: * it happens when playing passthrough DD and DTS, as well as when using a52 * what happens is that the front right is playing on the LFE (muffled, but that's probably normal) * so when speakertesting -t wav -c 6 to a52 which points to hw0,1 , my optical surround set recognizes it as dolby sound, no problem. * the sound "front right" as well as the LFE comes from the subwoofer. * keep in mind this also happens in passthrough. What i've done, is i'm using alsa-driver-1.0.21 (after seeing some digital out changes between 19 and 21.) It is weird that it still says not_connected in codec#0, but the "-D iec958:CARD=SB" seems to work fine. can anyone help me find the bug? or tell me this is not a bug? Sincerely, AL13N ----------------------------------------------------------------- I have posted this, but no reaction on alsa-user... (i'm not on the alsa-devel list) Maybe this is a bug somewhere, that is what i wish to know. I have a onboard hda_intel card. it has 2 codes and is split in 2 parts: * via * atihdmi I want to have sound in the optical output SPDIF/TOSLINK whatever you want to call it. hdanalyzer shows 2 digital pins: 0x20 ext SPDIF ATAPI 0x21 ext SPDIF Optical but both are marked as 'not present'. the "2d card has only one pin and one audio out" on the motherboard there is an internal SPDIF connector, which may be the ATAPI one. I believe that the SPDIF Optical is the correct one. Why is it not present? is that something software related? or is the audio chip broken? that is what i really want to know at this point. is it broken or can it be fixed? mail sent to alsa-user: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i have only an optical link to surround set, (which has worked before) to test out. the toslink looks red on the surround endpoint. the surround system always says: "no data" (analog stereo or DD or DTS causes it to show a diff text) when i play something, (be it stereo, DD or DTS sample) at iec958 , the /proc/asound/card0/pcm1p/sub0/status shows effectively that the sound IS running there. I've set all soundlevels to 75% and unmuted everything. i've looked at the codec#0 file and that may give something: node 0x21 (digital with optical connector) shows as not present. it looks like there are on seperate models for the VIA codec. how would i go solve this?
