[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] Sony vaio pro 13 (haswell)
by David Henningsson 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

Changes since v1: - Mic patch now applies to linux-stable branch linux-3.11.y cleanly - The two patches are now not connected to each other. I'll send a patch that connects them if/when we get some confirmation that this actually is a working headset mic pin.

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] local.h: include sys/types.h to fix issues with pcm.h
by John Spencer 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

sys/types.h is required for the u_int_XX types used by pcm.h. since a change in pcm.h is not desired, we add the inclusion to the header that includes pcm.h during build.

Those defaults are the worst I can think of for *my* use case. That's why I haven't implemented them. I do fully appreciate that those would be sane defaults for many people. I wouldn't mind anyone implementing them in Alsa. It's just, well, I won't ;-) When I started working on the FTU mixer support I didn't think about the defaults at all. The default we have right now are the ones you get without explicitly specifying any. But in fact, now I completely fell in love with these insane defaults: They give me an instant alert that I haven't restored my personal 'right' settings! That's of extreme value for my purposes as I use the device mainly on live occasions and the 'wrong' settings certainly cannot go unnoticed in the soundcheck. So again, anybody interested is invited to implement new defaults for the FTU. I won' t object any choice, how could I? But I won't do it myself since I'm personally very happy with the current state. Regards, Felix

[alsa-devel] ALSA: HDA Control and node attachment
by Jason Steigler 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible from user-space to change which node a control is attached to. In older ALSA (1.0.23), I had used the '3stack-6ch-dig' model to get 6 channel audio for an "Realtek ALC662 rev 1" codec. I had configured the front panel mic (node 0x19) to be an output using hda-verb that could be controlled by the Center and LFE mixer controls. The board also has jacks on the back and one of those would match the audio coming out the front. When I change the volume or mute the controls, they both were affected (which I expected/wanted). With newer ALSA (1.0.24 with debian Wheezy's stock kernel), the model '3stack-6ch-dig' doesn't exist, but the codec can be configured to 6 channels. I have made the same adjustments with hda-verb to make the node an output. The volume control works for the 'front' and 'rear' jacks, but only muting works on the 'rear' jack. I noticed that the control nodes for Center and LFE are not the same between the 2 setups. In the older version, they were tied to node 0x0e (Audio Mixer), and with the newer version node 0x18 (which looks like the 'Rear Mic' jack). I am not knowledgeable of the details of the HDA codec (yet), and am mostly curious if they can be changed in user-space or if I'll have to start learning the HDA codec code and try to find a way to move the controls around. I tried using hda-jack-retask and could assign the mic nodes as outputs, but wasn't sure if it would allow me to move controls on the HDA graph. Thanks in advance! Jason

[alsa-devel] Fast Track Ultra 8r...
by Petri Järvisalo 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Hello, I'm new here and somewhat understand how to script php and python ... and very unskilled with linux... anyway i noticed that the default alsa mixer values for fast track ultra 8r are way off the optimal when the sound card is first time plugged in. What I expected was clear stereo/surround sound, what i got was distorted mono sound with reverb! Far away from optimal settings! So, I stated to seek knowledge on web, and finally stumbled upon a homepage that had some info about the Linux support. What i found out was that the sound card has internal routing system, zero latency and a effect processor.Also i found out that the routing works by controlling the input/output levels at alsa mixer. The problem, by default all alsa mixer values are assigned to 100%, this means the internal routing is routing everything to everything distorting the sound, and making the output mono! The website I found had suggestion and a bash script to correct the internal routing: http://heikki.ketoharju.info/2013/03/linux-and-fasttrackultra/#comment-989 alas, the main article is a good read too :) Well the script did not work for me, so i changed the settings manually to my alsa mixer, which took quite some time, and it works like a charm. Anyway my best wish would be to get a fix for this sound card, so it would "just work" when plugged in. Thanks for any info on how i could get this "patch" to be widely available so others could benefit it too. Best regards, Petri

[alsa-devel] Internal Mic Boost channel is unused
by Nathanael D. Noblet 10 Oct '13

10 Oct '13

Hello, I have an issue I'd like to help completely solve. Unfortunately I only have a tenuous grasp of what is actually going on so some of this could be wrong/include errors. Here's what I know. 1) I have the following hardware (alsa-info attached). 2) The internal microphone requires that the mic boost channel be something other than 0 to function properly. 3) Changing what pulseaudio expects things to be labelled causes the problem to go away. (via the attached patch to /usr/share/pulseaudio/paths/analog-input-mic.conf). From the discussion with David Henningsson (diwic on IRC). It seems that pulse doesn't expect a Mic Boost channel to be used with internal microphones. As such to fix this particular hardware, the driver would need to make the internal mic boost be labelled "Internal Mic Boost" as opposed to Mic Boost, which is then is used for both external and internal mics. I'd love to be able to help any way I can to get these fixed once and for all. Let me know if you need more information or what not. -- Nathanael d. Noblet t 403.875.4613

On the Acer AO722, pin 0x1a represents the mic part of the TRRS headset jack, and pin 0x1b represents the TRS mic jack. Mark pin 0x1a as headset mic will help us know which one is which.
