[alsa-devel] How to compile 1.0.22 drivers with 2.6.33-rc?
by Elimar Riesebieter 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Hi all, to built alsa-driver 1.0.22.1 against 2.6.33-rc2 I had to copy files of kernels's include/generated to include/linux. Is there a more elegant way to improve that? I want to prepare a Debian upload. So users which are running 2.6.33 can't compile the 1.0.22 drivers without manipulating the kernel built dir. Any hints? Thanks Elimar -- On the keyboard of life you have always to keep a finger at the escape key;-)

[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/3] ad1836/ad1938: PM and typo fix/cleanup
by Barry Song 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Hi Mark, The following 3 patches fix/cleanup PM and typo of ad1836/ad1938 codec driver: 1. ad1836: reset and restore clock control mode in suspend/resume entry 2. ad1938: fix typo, rename mask to rx_mask for ad1938_set_tdm_slot 3. ad1938:let soc-core dapm handle PLL power As I will send patches special for moving to soc-cache, in patch 1, I still use the old way to read/write codec registers. Thanks Barry

[alsa-devel] ALSA: HDA VIA VT2020 support
by draco 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Hello, I saw in the devel archive that the support for VIA VT2020 chipset have been added and merged to 1.0.22 released. (cf. http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2009-October/022183.ht… and http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Changes_v1.0.21_v1.0.22 ) Unfortunately, despite all was OK from the 1.0.21+git devel snapshot few month ago, the alsa-driver v1.0.22 doesn't work. I tried different snapshot from 1.0.22, and sent a bug report here : https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4857 I don't know what I can do more to resolve the bug, but I can make some other tests and give you more log if needed. NB : I don't subscribe the devel mailing list, but I am "monitoring" the above bug report. Thank's in advance. Best Regards, draco

[alsa-devel] X-Fi notebook support
by The Source 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Hello. I have some info on that card, but not much. I have discovered that this card is detected connected via USB rather than PCI-E (the slot is ExpressCard). snd_ctxfi uses PCI interfaces right? Can X-Fi support be also added to snd_usb_audio? Or can snd_ctxfi support USB?

[alsa-devel] Front jack not working with hda-intel driver SigmaTel STAC9271D codec
by David Mohr 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hi, I'm running ubuntu 9.10. I had to force model=5stack to get any audio output at all. While the jack in the back now works, I still don't get any sound on the front jack. I haven't found any options in alsamixer, and switching the output mode in pavucontrol to the headphones just makes the sound disappear from the back jack, but I still get nothing in the front. I uploaded my alsa-info.sh output here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3ed2ab9e7732bf08d2bbfbe8adb74bf037d9e618 Can I fix this somehow, or is it a bug? And of course thanks everyone for the usually great working alsa system. ~David
