[alsa-devel] Problem with MX27 ASoC audio
by Randolph Chung 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

I have a target that uses iMX27(L) + tlv320aic3x. The kernel tree is HEAD of linux-arm from about a week ago. Simple playback and recording (using aplay and arecord) work fine. However, I've run into a strange problem when both playback and capture streams are opened at the same time. Consider the attached test program. The capture device is setup with a period time of 10ms, and the program reads samples in a loop. The expected result is that I get a sample every 10ms. This works fine if the playback device is *not* opened (more specifically, if the hw_params are not set). However if the playback device is opened (#if 1 code) then I get samples every 20ms, which seems very wrong. I have tried using both DMA and FIQ ssi-pcm interfaces and both give the same strange result. With the FIQ driver, if I instrument the timer callback, the timer triggers every 10ms but there is only enough data every 20ms. The codec is being driven with a 13MHz MCLK (output from MX27) and the BCLK and WCLK come from the codec. They seem to have the correct rates. Any ideas? Can anybody else with MX27 hardware verify if my test program also fails on their target? thanks, randolph /* Test program */ #include <alsa/asoundlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <assert.h> #include <sys/time.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int err = -1; char buf[4096]; unsigned long period_size; snd_pcm_t *in_handle = NULL, *out_handle; snd_pcm_hw_params_t *hwparams; if (snd_pcm_open(&in_handle, "hw:0,0", SND_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE, 0) < 0) { printf("Cannot open capture device\n"); return -1; } snd_pcm_hw_params_malloc(&hwparams); snd_pcm_hw_params_any(in_handle, hwparams); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(in_handle, hwparams, SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(in_handle, hwparams, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels(in_handle, hwparams, 1); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate(in_handle, hwparams, 8000, 0); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time(in_handle, hwparams, 10000, 0); snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size(hwparams, &period_size, 0); snd_pcm_hw_params(in_handle, hwparams); snd_pcm_hw_params_free(hwparams); if (snd_pcm_open(&out_handle, "hw:0,0", SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, 0) < 0) { printf("Cannot open playback device\n"); return -1; } #if 1 snd_pcm_hw_params_malloc(&hwparams); snd_pcm_hw_params_any(out_handle, hwparams); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(out_handle, hwparams, SND_PCM_ACCESS_RW_INTERLEAVED); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(out_handle, hwparams, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels(out_handle, hwparams, 1); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate(out_handle, hwparams, 8000, 0); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time(out_handle, hwparams, 10000, 0); snd_pcm_hw_params(out_handle, hwparams); snd_pcm_hw_params_free(hwparams); #endif printf("period size = %u\n", period_size); printf("Config done, start loop\n"); while (1) { struct timeval tv; int ret = snd_pcm_readi(in_handle, buf, period_size); if (ret < 0) snd_pcm_prepare(in_handle); gettimeofday(&tv, NULL); printf("[%u.%06u] snd_pcm_readi() return %d\n", tv.tv_sec, tv.tv_usec, ret); } return 0; }

[alsa-devel] hdsp rpm support
by Roman Haefeli 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

Hi everyone I would like to know current state of the RME HDSP RPM support. There was a thread [1] in 2008 on this list about the issue and things looked promising back then. However, I'm still unable to upload the firmware with alsa-driver from git on my Ubuntu 11.04 (32bit) machine with a 2.6.38 kernel. I posted a detailed description of the issue on the alsa-user list here [2]. Is it supposed to work with Cardbus? If not, is there something I can do to help support it? Any hints appreciated.

[alsa-devel] sound: usb-audio: full capture/playback/spdif support for Digidesign Mbox 2
by Damien Zammit 23 Dec '12

23 Dec '12

Hi folks, I have put together full support for Digidesign Mbox 2, but it needs someone to help me merge it into alsa. I haven't seen the latest snd-usb-audio code since last year, it seems to have branched into multiple files. I have worked out how the Digidesign Mbox 2 needs to be configured, it supports SPDIF i/o simultaneously with analogue but can be toggled on and off by using different altsettings. Also the sample clock rate must be configured via a special method. Therefore I have provided for this in a device_setup parameter with 4 settings: 48Khz Spdif+analog = 0 44.1Khz Spdif+analog = 1 48Khz Analog only = 2 44.1Khz Analog only = 3 ###### audio /* Digidesign Mbox 2 workaround: * supports S24_3BE BIG ENDIAN in an unusual way */ if (chip->usb_id == USB_ID(0x0dba, 0x3000)) pcm_format = SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S24_3BE; static int mbox2_skip_setting_quirk(struct snd_usb_audio *chip, int iface, int altno); static int parse_audio_endpoints(struct snd_usb_audio *chip, int iface_no) { ..... ..... /* Digidesign Mbox 2: skip altsets incompatible with device_setup */ if (chip->usb_id == USB_ID(0x0dba, 0x3000) && mbox2_skip_setting_quirk(chip, iface_no, altno)) continue; ..... } #define MBOX2_SET_48K_SPDIF 0 #define MBOX2_SET_44K_SPDIF 1 #define MBOX2_SET_48K_ANALOG 2 #define MBOX2_SET_44K_ANALOG 3 static int mbox2_skip_setting_quirk(struct snd_usb_audio *chip, int iface, int altno) { u8 srate[3]; /* Reset ifaces 2-5 to 0 altsetting. */ usb_set_interface(chip->dev, iface, 0); if (device_setup[chip->index] == MBOX2_SET_48K_SPDIF || device_setup[chip->index] == MBOX2_SET_48K_ANALOG) { //setup 48k srate[0]=0x80; srate[1]=0xbb; srate[2]=0x00; /* Send the magic! */ snd_usb_ctl_msg(chip->dev, usb_sndctrlpipe(chip->dev, 0), 0x01, 0x22, 0x0100, 0x0085, &srate, 0x0003, 1000); snd_usb_ctl_msg(chip->dev, usb_sndctrlpipe(chip->dev, 0), 0x81, 0xa2, 0x0100, 0x0085, &srate, 0x0003, 1000); snd_usb_ctl_msg(chip->dev, usb_sndctrlpipe(chip->dev, 0), 0x81, 0xa2, 0x0100, 0x0086, &srate, 0x0003, 1000); snd_usb_ctl_msg(chip->dev, usb_sndctrlpipe(chip->dev, 0), 0x81, 0xa2, 0x0100, 0x0003, &srate, 0x0003, 1000); snd_printk(KERN_INFO "Digidesign Mbox 2: 24 Bit 48000Hz"); if (device_setup[chip->index] == MBOX2_SET_48K_SPDIF) { //setup spdif snd_printk(KERN_INFO ", SPDIF\n"); if (altno != 2) return 1; } else { //setup analog snd_printk(KERN_INFO ", ANALOGUE\n"); if (altno != 3) return 1; } } else { //setup 44k srate[0]=0x44; srate[1]=0xac; srate[2]=0x00; /* Send the magic! */ snd_usb_ctl_msg(chip->dev, usb_sndctrlpipe(chip->dev, 0), 0x01, 0x22, 0x0100, 0x0085, &srate, 0x0003, 1000); snd_usb_ctl_msg(chip->dev, usb_sndctrlpipe(chip->dev, 0), 0x81, 0xa2, 0x0100, 0x0085, &srate, 0x0003, 1000); snd_usb_ctl_msg(chip->dev, usb_sndctrlpipe(chip->dev, 0), 0x81, 0xa2, 0x0100, 0x0086, &srate, 0x0003, 1000); snd_usb_ctl_msg(chip->dev, usb_sndctrlpipe(chip->dev, 0), 0x81, 0xa2, 0x0100, 0x0003, &srate, 0x0003, 1000); snd_printk(KERN_INFO "Digidesign Mbox 2: 24 Bit 44100Hz"); if (device_setup[chip->index] == MBOX2_SET_44K_SPDIF || device_setup[chip->index] == MBOX2_SET_44K_ANALOG) { //setup spdif snd_printk(KERN_INFO ", SPDIF\n"); if (altno != 2) return 1; } else { //setup analog snd_printk(KERN_INFO ", ANALOGUE\n"); if (altno != 3) return 1; } } return 0; } #define MBOX2_FIRMWARE_SIZE 646 #define MBOX2_BOOT_LOADING 0x01 /* Hard coded into the device */ #define MBOX2_BOOT_READY 0x02 /* Hard coded into the device */ static int snd_usb_mbox2_boot_quirk(struct usb_device *dev) { struct usb_host_config *config = dev->actconfig; int err; u8 enablemagic[3]; u8 bootresponse; int fwsize; if ((fwsize = le16_to_cpu(get_cfg_desc(config)->wTotalLength)) == MBOX2_FIRMWARE_SIZE) { snd_printdd("Sending Digidesign Mbox 2 boot sequence...\n"); /* From USB Snoop, * * SetupPacket = RT RQ VHVL INDX SIZE * RT = 0xRT Request Type * RQ = 0xRQ Request * VHVL = 0xVLVH Value in reverse byte order * INDX = 0xDXIN Index in reverse byte order * SIZE = 0xZESI Size in reverse byte order * * Magic boot code setup packet: c0 85 01 00 00 00 12 00 * RQ RT VLVH DXIN ZESI * becomes 0x85, 0xc0, 0x0001, 0x0000, &RETURNDATA, 0x0012, TIMEOUT * for snd_usb_ctl_msg() */ mbox2_reboot: snd_usb_ctl_msg(dev, usb_rcvctrlpipe(dev, 0), 0x85, 0xc0, 0x0001, 0x0000, &bootresponse, 0x0012, 1000); if (bootresponse == MBOX2_BOOT_LOADING) { snd_printdd("device not ready, resending boot sequence...\n"); goto mbox2_reboot; } if (bootresponse == MBOX2_BOOT_READY) { snd_printdd("device initialised!\n"); err = usb_get_descriptor(dev, USB_DT_DEVICE, 0, &dev->descriptor, sizeof(dev->descriptor)); config = dev->actconfig; if (err < 0) snd_printdd("error usb_get_descriptor: %d\n", err); err = usb_reset_configuration(dev); if (err < 0) snd_printdd("error usb_reset_configuration: %d\n", err); snd_printdd("mbox2_boot: new boot length = %d\n", le16_to_cpu(get_cfg_desc(config)->wTotalLength)); /* Successful boot, (should reset all altsettings to 0 like windows does, but works without it) * but now we will try sending capture/playback enable magic * * 80 bb 00 = 24bit mode - S24_3BE * 44 ac 00 = 16bit mode?

As it happens, the actual SysEx commands use the wrong manufacturer ID ("00 01 02" is Crystal Semiconductor); I could just use the real ID (Stanton is "00 01 60") to escape non-MIDI HSS1394 messages. Let's add "HSS" to identify this, and to allow the full byte range, each HSS1394 byte is split into two nibbles.

[alsa-devel] HDSPM - Problems with SyncIn
by Andre Schramm 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Hello, I did some tests with the SyncIn-Feature of the HDSPe cards. [root@localhost ~]# lspci |grep Mult 01:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation RME Hammerfall DSP MADI (rev d2) 02:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation RME Hammerfall DSP MADI (rev d2) The SyncOut of card 2:00 was plugged to the SyncIn of 1:00 and 1:00 was put to AutoSync-mode automatically upon boot. Problem is that the amixer output seems to be inconsistent and differs from the proc output as well, so I'm not sure which one to trust.

[alsa-devel] snd-usb-audio probe problem (Teac UD-H01)
by bEN 13 Oct '12

13 Oct '12

Hi all, the new USB DAC from Teac seems detected as 'Human Interface Device' instead of 'Audio'. Despite the fact it is based on a standard USB Audio class v2 controller (Tenor 8802). Below is dmesg and lsusb outputs. Does it need to apply a patch in /sound/usb/quirks-table.h ? If yes, someone could help me to write this patch, please? Your help would be very much appreciated, Thanks in advance. bEN (from Ubuntu 11.04 with Linux 2.6.38-13-generic + Alsa driver 1.0.23) $ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23. $ dmesg (...)

[alsa-devel] Internal speaker output from Sony Vaio Z (2010 model) lost somewhere between 3.1.0 and 3.2.6
by Adam Williamson 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Welp, pretty much as the topic says. I just noticed today that sound is no longer playing from the internal speakers of my laptop, a 2010 model Sony Vaio Z. Plugging in headphones causes sound to be played fine through those. There are three possible choices for 'Connector' - 'Analog Speakers', 'Analog Output', and 'Analog Headphones' - but none of these seems to make sound come out of the internal speakers. The default is 'Analog Speakers', and when it's set to this, headphone output does work when headphones are plugged in. I've verified that it's broken on Fedora 16 kernels 3.2.6-4, 3.2.8-3 and 3.2.10-1. It's also broken in a very recent Fedora 17 kernel, 3.3.0rc6 or so. It works on a Fedora 16 live image, with kernel 3.1.0-1. Unfortunately the kernels before 3.2.6 have been trashed from Fedora's buildsystem archives, I think, so it's hard to narrow things down any further :/ the alsa-info output is http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=368e2359757b537d4daa0f5399830d3942540196 .
