Hi, first of all I apologize in case you receive multiple copies of this message, but I forgot to specify a subject in the original mail. I have a problem compiling the latest alsa driver snapshots. Specifically, it's a problem when patching pcm_native.c: [..] copying file alsa-kernel/core/info.c patching file info.c copying file alsa-kernel/core/pcm.c patching file pcm.c Hunk #3 succeeded at 739 (offset 2 lines).

My OS is Fedora 11 x86_64. Previous snapshots didn't give me this problem, but I can't say which one broke the compilation, since I usually try updated snapshots only at kernel updates. I searched for this error and the only relevant report I could find is this one: http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2009-April/016420.html a report from last April. What could the problem be? Thanks _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.

[alsa-devel] unsupported variant of snd_hda_intel
by Alexandre 04 Jul '24

04 Jul '24

Hello, I have an Acer Aspire 4736G laptop. The soundcard that is shipped in this laptop is intel-hda based as shown (actually it's a realtek): cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0x9b300000 irq 46 Basic sound output is correct but few feature are missing: - internal mic seems to be found but do not works. - sound output stop working when trying to send it using HDMI output - heads do not work when plugged neither when forcing pulseaudio to use it. I have an ubuntu 10.10 which is shipped with alsa 1.0.23. I have googled around and tried loading the snd-hda-intel with several parameters () as found in HD-Audio-Models.txt to no avail. cat /proc/asound/pcm 00-00: ALC888 Analog : ALC888 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1 00-01: ALC888 Digital : ALC888 Digital : playback 1 00-03: NVIDIA HDMI : NVIDIA HDMI : playback 1 Where can I begin to help implement the support for this sound card? I have very skills in developement in general but am ready to try if it is not to hard (I supose I can use previous code for similar models).. I just need a shepherd. Thanks

[alsa-devel] echo-cancellation plugin advice?

> Well, asym wouldn't be the answer. Basically you'll need to open two > slave PCMs in one plugin. So, it's no simple filter-type plugin. > It's doable, but not easy as it sounds, I guess. Takashi, can you please further explain why asym is not the solution and what you see as a problem? I am also trying to figure out if it would be possible to create such a plugin for ALSA? I am still searching for some good starting points on how to write an ALSA plugin... Jean-Marc Valin (http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/linux-audio-dev/2005-June/012454.html) already released his work as part of speex but as far I know there is no plugin that has been made out of it?

[alsa-devel] Trouble about Roland UA-11 UA-33 UA-55 and snd-usb-audio module
by FirebUntU 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi guys, I write you about support of snd-usb-audio module and a relatively-new gamma of devices from Roland/Edirol: DUO CAPTURE, TRI CAPTURE and QUAD CAPTURE respectively: UA-11, UA-33, UA-55 These aren't not listed in the Alsa db. I have searched a solution for a week and I haven't found a trick to make UA-11 to work under Alsa 1.25.0 then I downloaded the driver for try to patch it and I found these devices is not listed in the tricks table In despair I have played with the switch button called "EXT * **" in the bottom of the unit of UA-11 and magically the device ID is transformed from * 0582:012b to ** 0582:0137 Image: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32759898/output.jpg (Rear of the UA-11 unit, from the manual) *Before* (Recognized from udev - Unknown from alsa): http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=502ee68cf31882ba9ef23525fd66452c34d329e1 *After* (Recognized from udev - Recognized from alsa): http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b2ae3e4331fb3fe613ba71e7aba1ad2e0e6dcd29 In the tricks table header of ALSA the 0582:0137 stay for PM-1000 in /TODO/ statement. I understand the EXT switch, undiscovered in the manual of the DUO CAPTURE is - as the fact - the Advanced Mode. Now the peripherical running both in playback and recording in 16 and 24 bit and without any mixer options in alsamixer. Can you update future releases with this gamma of devices? Awaiting for your positive response :) Thanks. Best regards, Leonardo

[alsa-devel] Usb audio - unsuported sampling rates
by Gordon Dilan 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

Hello, I'm using an usb mic which(according to it's producer should support up to 48kHz sampling rate). The problem is ALSA allows me to use only 16 kHz for this device. I do not want to resample the data, I want to sample it at 48kHz in order to be able to record some high pitch sounds 18-20kHz. I would want to try to do any modifications necessary in order to try support 48kHz, but I'm not sure where to start. Some information: cat /proc/asound/modules ... 1 snd_usb_audio arecord --list-devices **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** .... card 1: CameraB409241 [USB Camera-B4.09.24.1], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 when I try to use: arecord -v -D hw:1,0 -f S16_LE -c 4 -r 48000 gigi.wav I get this: Recording WAVE 'gigi.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Channels 4 Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 48000Hz, got = 16000Hz) please, try the plug plugin Hardware PCM card 1 'USB Camera-B4.09.24.1' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : CAPTURE access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 4 rate : 16000 exact rate : 16000 (16000/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 8000 period_size : 2000 period_time : 125000 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 avail_min : 2000 period_event : 0 start_threshold : 1 stop_threshold : 8000 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 2097152000 appl_ptr : 0 hw_ptr : 0 Any sampling rate I would try higher or lower than 16kHz, I will always get 16000 kHz.

Any pointers on what direction should I go to try make my desired rate supported would be greatly appreciated! Thank you and best regards, Gordon

[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/4] ASoC: fix saif record unwork issue
by Dong Aisheng 16 Jan '16

16 Jan '16

This patch series mainly fixes the saif record unwork issue. The root cause consists of: 1) clk_prepare and clk_enable un-balanced 2) missed setting a proper initial clock rate for saif in dt 3) sgtl5000 dapm widget kcontrol does not work So can not test record on mx28evk. 4) missed setting clkmux mode for saif in dt With this patch series it can fix sgtl5000 widget kcontrol unwork and saif record unwork issue. BTW, just let people konw, i still met a few overruns during record, that's another issue and will be fixed in separte patches later. Patch based on sound-2.6/for-3.6. Dong Aisheng (4): ASoC: mxs-saif: fix clock prepare and enable unbalance issue ASoC: mxs-saif: set a base clock rate for EXTMASTER mode work ASoC: sgtl5000: remove unneeded snd_soc_dapm_new_widgets in probe ARM: mx28evk: add missed clkmux select for saif arch/arm/mach-mxs/mach-mxs.c | 3 +++ sound/soc/codecs/sgtl5000.c | 2 -- sound/soc/mxs/mxs-saif.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 27 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)

[alsa-devel] icon utrack pro usb audio interface
by Adrien Plisson 30 Aug '14

30 Aug '14

hello, i just bought an "icon utrack pro" usb audio interface <http://www.icon-global.com/ShowPro.aspx?ID=24>. as expected, this interface is not supported under linux: it is not usb audio class compliant, even the midi port is not class compliant... first, i would like to know if anybody ever managed to use this interface under linux: is there an existing driver ? a hack or patch that would allow the kernel to recognize this interface ? a specific module dedicated to this kind of interface ? i can't find any reference to this interface anywhere on the net... anyway, while searching, i found that its firewire counterpart, the "firexon", has an experimental support on ffado. it seems that the firewire interface uses the bridgeco BeBoB chipset. given that some versions of BeBoB supports both firewire and usb, i suppose (but i may be wrong) that the "utrack pro" is also based on BeBoB. is there any other BeBoB based usb interface supported under linux ? finally, i would proudly help the development of a specific driver for this interface: if anyone wants me to test some piece of code, or wants some information on this interface, don't hesitate to contact me. i am also a software developper, so i could help writing a module, but i first need to learn more about the alsa code base (actually, i don't know where to start...). thanks a lot, and have a nice day ! -- rien

[alsa-devel] wm8974 and sam9g45 atmel
by Michele Da Rold 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

Hello everybody, I'm starting a new development with a Atmel SAM9G45 and a WM8974. I'm using kernel 2.6.33.2 I have connected the SSC1 pin TD,TF,TK and the RD pin, so I want to use WM8974 like a slave. I wrote a interface driver based on sam9263_wm8731.c The driver seem to load ok, I recognize the codec but when I start a mp3 playing (I use mpg123) the playback not start. Putting some dedug messagge the driver not call the function "set_bias_level", and call the mute function with mute=0. Testing the MCLK signal I not see any clock on pin because I never call clk_enable!! There is a way to identify the problem? Someone could help me? Thank you in advance Michele Da Rold I put the code of driver (don't care about printk I used it for debug purpose!!) /* * sam9g45_wm8974 -- SoC audio for AT91SAM9G20-based * ATMEL AT91SAM9G20ek board. * * Copyright (C) 2005 SAN People * Copyright (C) 2008 Atmel * * Authors: Sedji Gaouaou <sedji.gaouaou(a)atmel.com> * * Based on sam9263_wm8731.c. * Frank Mandarino <fmandarino(a)endrelia.com> * Copyright 2006 Endrelia Technologies Inc. * Based on corgi.c by: * Copyright 2005 Wolfson Microelectronics PLC. * Copyright 2005 Openedhand Ltd. * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

[alsa-devel] Segfaults in snd_pcm_area_silence() when using softvol
by Tanu Kaskinen 18 May '14

18 May '14

Hi, A bug was reported to pulseaudio about a segfault in alsa-lib code when using softvol: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51060 . It has been observed by several people, and this mail was prompted by the last bug comment, which rightly recommends getting in touch with the alsa developers: > I've had this problem too and the problem only occurs with > -ftree-vectorize. > > It looks to me as if this is a gcc bug, as it produces a "movdqa" or > "vmovdqa" instruction which is used with an unaligned pointer. > > Now, I have no clue why gcc assumes the pointer would be an aligned > one, maybe it is even right and something else is wrong, but I haven't > spent too much time digging into this. > > (note that it still happens with gcc 4.7 and the current 4.8 > development one) > > Also, this bug should probably be brought up with the alsa guys as > well, as I don't think pulseaudio is at fault here.
