[alsa-devel] Creative XFi not working CA0110 IBG

Hello, I did make the failure to not check before buy, but because the last problem reports are from about a year ago, I think the card should work. -- from lspci 86:00.0 Audio device [0403]: Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG [1102:0009] Subsystem: Creative Labs Device [1102:0018] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B+ DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 18 Region 0: Memory at d0100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 NoSoftRst+ PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel -- The kernel is a 64-Bit linux-2.6.33.2 original unpatched from kernel.org The mainboard is a Tyan S4985E.

I am willing to help to find the problem in nearly any way because this is my workstation and I do need the PCI slot for some other purpose so I do want to get this card working. the alsa driver snd-hda-intel gives the following messages.

[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/5] fix SIU and Migo-R sound for 2.6.37
by Guennadi Liakhovetski 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Conversion to the multi-component design has broken the SIU driver and its users. This patch series fixes the breakages. All patches against next/master, but one of them (#4) shall also go into 2.6.36.

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: tlv320aic3x: Add virtual output pin Detection
by Jarkko Nikula 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Purpose of this virtual Detection pin is to keep codec bias on whenever the GPIO or jack detection features are needed. Jack detection needs a mic bias so machine drivers can construct a following route for instance for keeping the path and codec bias on: "Input Jack" -> "Mic Bias xV" -> "Detection" -> detection block inside codec. For the GPIO the machine driver can force the pin on with snd_soc_dapm_force_enable_pin. Signed-off-by: Jarkko Nikula <jhnikula(a)gmail.com> --- PLL is activated when in SND_SOC_BIAS_PREPARE or _ON so it could be running but I have a vague impression that it's active only when ADC or DAC is on. I don't have at the moment possibility to measure it and don't want to move it to DAPM either before doing some oscilloscope and pop & clicks measurements. Current consumption anyway doesn't differ between standby and on when there is no active stream and other widgets are off. --- sound/soc/codecs/tlv320aic3x.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/sound/soc/codecs/tlv320aic3x.c b/sound/soc/codecs/tlv320aic3x.c index 7b5f159..6190351 100644 --- a/sound/soc/codecs/tlv320aic3x.c +++ b/sound/soc/codecs/tlv320aic3x.c @@ -605,6 +605,14 @@ static const struct snd_soc_dapm_widget aic3x_dapm_widgets[] = { SND_SOC_DAPM_INPUT("LINE1R"), SND_SOC_DAPM_INPUT("LINE2L"), SND_SOC_DAPM_INPUT("LINE2R"), + + /* + * Virtual output pin to detection block inside codec.

[alsa-devel] Unifying sound/pci/hda/patch_*hdmi.c
by Takashi Iwai 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Hi, the below is a patch for unifying three patch_*hdmi.c into a single file. I'd like to push this to 2.6.37, so please review, especially whether it can break Nvidia hardware (since I have no h/w available). In future, we can reduce ATI- and Nvidia-specific codes gradually after confirming the generic parser works. The patch is found in sound-unstable git tree, too. The corresponding alsa-driver-unstable tarball can be used for external builds. thanks, Takashi

[alsa-devel] Emulated IEC958 Card
by Jassi Brar 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hi, Ok, so there is already the iec958 plugin, but wouldn't it be nice to have an 'Emulated IEC958-Card' driver that implements implements all the possible components of the IEC958-cum-AES/EBU specification. The user could have the look and feel of a real card via ALSA control and audio i/f .... User Data can be provided too (which lacks in the iec958 plugin ?) This driver might be boon for low-end embedded devices which have neither IEC958 controller in the SoC nor a codec chip that supports it. In fact the SPDIF controller of one SoC that I know implements only a subset of the standard with limitations. The only requirement for the emulated-iec958 card would be a shifter with deep enough fifo, that can shift out bits at around 6Mbps (for 48KHz Stereo). And most SoCs have such a resource available that can be put to the use -- OMAP has McBSP, Samsung's and other SoCs can leverage a SPI controller. Any suggestions welcome. Regards, Jassi PS: I start the topic upon insistence from Angat <yadi.brar01(a)gmail.com>, a grad student who wanted to implement the feature for his univ project on his beagle board.

[alsa-devel] Realtek ALC888 recognized as having 2 channels instead of 8
by Munzir Taha (منذر طه) 17 Sep '10

17 Sep '10

Hi, A new laptop and as usual I need your help. I cannot see the controls for the 7.1 channels supported by the laptop. I tried to compile a new alsa snapshot just in case it's fixed but I lost the audio device altogether after rebooting. I also tried https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ppa which should be the proper way to update alsa in ubuntu but again the audio device disappears altogether. I tried to use options snd-hda-intel model=targa-8ch-dig and though I can see alsa controls now for the surround system but only 1 jack is working and the sound is coming from the wrong jack (rear instead of front/headphone) beside other problems.
