Re: [alsa-devel] A reliable kernel panic (3.6.2) and system crash when visiting a particular website

The sequence of driver callbacks issued on a stream start is .open() .hw_params() .prepare() .trigger() If the ALSA part really causes this issue, the bad things happen either in any of the driver callback functions or in the core underneath. The patch I sent returns an error from the hw_params callback, and as you still see the problem, that means that the crash happens before any of the USB audio streaming really starts. Could you try and return -EINVAL from snd_usb_capture_open() please? If anyone has a better idea on how to debug this, please chime in. Daniel

You might be right - I'm just looking for differences between his setup and mine that would explain why nobody else sees a severe bug that is 100% reproducible for him.

Yes, we need to trace the call chain and see at which point the trouble starts. What could help is tracing the google-chrome binary with strace maybe. At least we would see the ioctl command sequence, if the log file survives the crash. As the usb list is still in Cc: - Artem's lcpci dump shows that his machine features XHCI controllers. Can anyone think of a relation to this problem? And Artem, is there any way you boot your system on an older machine that only has EHCI ports? Thinking about it, I wonder whether the freeze in VBox and the crashes on native hardware have the same root cause. In that case, would it be possible to share that VBox image? Daniel

Ok, so that pretty much rules out the host controller. I just wonder why I still don't see it here, and I haven't heard of any such problem from anyone else. Some more questions: - Which version of Flash are you running? - Does this also happen with Firefox? - Does flash access the device directly or via PulseAudio? - Could you please apply the attached patch and see what it spits out to dmesg once Flash opens the device? It returns -EINVAL in the hw_params callback to prevent the actual streaming. On my machine with Flash 11.4.31.110, I get values of 2/44800/1/32768/2048/0, which seems sane.

Right after you selected that entry from the list? There's a little recording level meter in that dialog.

We'll see. Thanks for your help to sort this out! Daniel

[alsa-devel] usb-audio: Reloop Play support (TI TUSB3200AC)
by Didier 'Ptitjes' Villevalois 21 Oct '12

21 Oct '12

Hello, I've bought a Reloop Play usb soundcard and I'd like to make it work with ALSA. It is a 4-channels USB soundcard. It is currently correctly recognized by ALSA as a 4-channels soundcard and I can correctly open the channels and feed them with audio. However, no audio is output by the box. It seems to contain a Texas Instrument TUSB3200AC chipset (same chipset as the Maya44 USB and Hercules DJ console). I guess the problem is a firmware problem but I don't know what to do about it. I've got a MacOS X driver that works correctly, if that of any help. (I suppose the Windows driver works too but I don't have any Windows at hand.) I'm willing to do whatever you need me to make it run with ALSA. Could you help me ? I attached my alsa-info.sh output. Didier Villevalois.
