Since the auto-parser for Conexant 5066 is yet not activated, I guess it makes sense to keep adding quirks? -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. http://launchpad.net/~diwic

[alsa-devel] Does amixer has to be used to make a complete path in ASoC?
by Feng Ye 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hello, I wrote ASoC driver with interacts with WM8750 codec chip. It does not work, no sound at all. Some codec registers are not programmed right, and the check_power callback (in soc-dapm.c) always return 0. I think the problem may not be in the driver, instead, amixer should be used to select the codec mixer settings to build a complete audio path (like the LEFT MIXER in wm8750). I have following questions: 1. Is my understanding correct? amixer has to be used before aplay? 2. Is there way to do it in the code instead of using amixer? 3. If amixer has to be used, where I can find sample wm8750 amixer setting usage for a simple playback from I2S in to Lout1 & Rout1 out? Here's the simple code in my driver, just FYI: static const struct snd_soc_dapm_widget wm8750_dapm_widgets[] = { SND_SOC_DAPM_SPK("Ext Speaker", NULL), }; static const struct snd_soc_dapm_route wm8750_audio_map[] = { { "Ext Speaker", NULL, "LOUT1" }, { "Ext Speaker", NULL, "ROUT1" }, }; ... (in dai_link init function): err = snd_soc_dapm_new_controls(codec, wm8750_dapm_widgets, ARRAY_SIZE(wm8750_dapm_widgets)); ... snd_soc_dapm_add_routes(codec, wm8750_audio_map, ARRAY_SIZE(wm8750_audio_map)); snd_soc_dapm_sync(codec); ... (in snd_soc_ops startup function): snd_soc_dapm_enable_pin(codec, "Ext Speaker"); Thanks, Feng

[alsa-devel] ask about audio latency
by 周勇发 22 May '11

22 May '11

hi I want to get the latency between record and playback, so i use following solution to calculate it. #audio.sh arecord -d 3 -r 96000 in.wav & sleep 1 aplay mode.wav model.wav is a sine wave. this file is used for calculate the delta timestamp of record and playback. I have append do_gettimeofday() function in azx_stream_start() in hda_intel.c file. it will printk the dma trigger time after trigger dma. the result is about 12ms. as far as i known. fifo size is 192, sample rate is 96000, so it will take about 2ms latency, my question is where does the other 10ms latency come from? Thanks -- Best Regards！

[alsa-devel] UCM files for tegra-wm8903 on seaboard
by Stephen Warren 21 May '11

21 May '11

Liam, I've come up with a basic set of UCM files for Tegra Seaboard, included below. I briefly tested parts of them with alsaucm. I do have a few questions on UCM and how to write these files before I go too far: Some of the answers may depend on, or be impacted by, policy decisions by the user of UCM; general desktop PulseAudio may have different requirements to a more tightly controlled ChromeOS configuration. I'm not sure how much that impacts the UCM files themselves, or whether the UCM files are supposed to be fully general and hence the same for all OSs and policy setups. 1) Can multiple verbs be active at once? In other words, I have cases defined for HiFi (playback) and Record (capture). Should these be merged together such that both playback and capture can operate at once, or can an application just active both verbs at once when it wants to do multiple things? 2) In the ChromeOS kernel, there's a separate PCM for playback to WM8903 and playback to the SPDIF controller, and hence on to HDMI. Since these use different values for PlaybackPCM, I defined separate use-cases for analog and HDMI/SPDIF playback. Is this the typical way of splitting things up, or would one typically have a unified use-case with the PlaybackPCM Value being part of the SectionDevice? 3) For the HiFi case, there are a couple of volume controls in serial; i.e. "Digital Playback Volume" affects both speaker/headphone output whereas "Speaker Volume" and "Headphone Volume" affect just one of the devices. I've defined a PlaybackVolume Value for the overall verb and the same Value for each device. Are applications able to query the Value separately for verb and devices, or will using the same name cause conflicts? Is there any kind of (de-facto) standard for how to represent this situation? Thanks very much for any feedback. ------------------ tegra-wm8903-seaboard.conf: # UCM configuration for Tegra WM8903 driver for Seaboard SectionUseCase."Record" { File "record" Comment "Record" } SectionUseCase."HiFi" { File "hifi" Comment "Play HiFi quality Music" } SectionUseCase."HiFi HDMI" { File "hdmi" Comment "Play HiFi quality Music over HDMI" } SectionDefaults [ cdev "hw:0" cset "name='Headphone Switch' off,off" cset "name='Left Output Mixer DACL Switch' on" cset "name='Left Output Mixer DACR Switch' off" cset "name='Left Output Mixer Left Bypass Switch' off" cset "name='Left Output Mixer Right Bypass Switch' off" cset "name='Right Output Mixer DACL Switch' off" cset "name='Right Output Mixer DACR Switch' on" cset "name='Right Output Mixer Left Bypass Switch' off" cset "name='Right Output Mixer Right Bypass Switch' off" cset "name='Int Spk Switch' off" cset "name='Speaker Switch' off,off" cset "name='Left Speaker Mixer DACL Switch' on" cset "name='Left Speaker Mixer DACR Switch' off" cset "name='Left Speaker Mixer Left Bypass Switch' off" cset "name='Left Speaker Mixer Right Bypass Switch' off" cset "name='Right Speaker Mixer DACL Switch' off" cset "name='Right Speaker Mixer DACR Switch' on" cset "name='Right Speaker Mixer Left Bypass Switch' off" cset "name='Right Speaker Mixer Right Bypass Switch' off" cset "name='Left Input PGA Switch' off" cset "name='Right Input PGA Switch' off" cset "name='Right Inverting Input Mux' 'IN2R'" ] ------------------ hifi: SectionVerb { Value { PlaybackPCM "hw:0,0" PlaybackVolume "Digital Playback Volume" } } SectionDevice."Speakers".0 { Comment "Internal Speakers" EnableSequence [ cdev "hw:0" cset "name='Speaker Switch' on,on" cset "name='Int Spk Switch' on" ] DisableSequence [ cdev "hw:0" cset "name='Speaker Switch' off,off" cset "name='Int Spk Switch' off" ] Value { PlaybackVolume "Speaker Volume" PlaybackSwitch "Speaker Switch" } } SectionDevice."Headphones".0 { Comment "Headphone Jack" EnableSequence [ cdev "hw:0" cset "name='Headphone Switch' on,on" ] DisableSequence [ cdev "hw:0" cset "name='Headphone Switch' off,off" ] Value { PlaybackVolume "Headphone Volume" PlaybackSwitch "Headphone Switch" } } ------------------ hifi-hdmi: SectionVerb { Value { PlaybackPCM "hw:0,1" } } SectionDevice."HDMI".0 { Comment "HDMI" } ------------------ record: SectionVerb { Value { CapturePCM "hw:0,0" CaptureVolume "Digital Capture Volume" } } SectionDevice."AMIC".0 { Comment "Analog Microphone Jack" EnableSequence [ cdev "hw:0" cset "name='ADC Input' 'ADC'" cset "name='Left Capture Mux' 'Right'" cset "name='Right Capture Mux' 'Right'" ] Value { CaptureVolume "Right Input PGA Volume" } } SectionDevice."DMIC".0 { Comment "Internal Digital Microphone" EnableSequence [ cdev "hw:0" cset "name='ADC Input' 'DMIC'" cset "name='Left Capture Mux' 'Left'" cset "name='Right Capture Mux' 'Right'" ] Value { } } -- nvpublic
