[alsa-devel] echo-cancellation plugin advice?

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? Thanks for any hint! -- NEU: FreePhone 3-fach-Flat mit kostenlosem Smartphone! Jetzt informieren: http://mobile.1und1.de/?ac=OM.PW.PW003K20328T7073a

[alsa-devel] Help with wm8731 support for the Utilite (imx6q)
by Jonathan Bennett 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hey, I'm working with a compulab utilite, trying to get everything working with 3.17, with the eventual goal of getting better support for it upstream. Currently fighting the sound. It's a imx6q talking to a wm8731 over i2c/i2s. I am booting Fedora 21 arm Alpha, with my own dtb ( http://pastebin.com/4a4PBKwx) and driver (http://pastebin.com/1CsesuVV) It shows up in aplay -l, but trying to play anything to it gives me a div by 0 in a driver: [<c04f27e4>] (Ldiv0) from [<bf50512c>] (fsl_ssi_hw_params+0x194/0x364 [snd_soc_fsl_ssi]) This div0 happens in sound/soc/fsl/fsl_ssi.c, in the function fsl_ssi_set_bclk. My driver file is an almost direct copy of what compulab shipped with a 3.10 kernel. This is my first attempt at kernel hacking, so any help would be appreciated. ~Jonathan Bennett

[alsa-devel] Trouble about Roland UA-11 UA-33 UA-55 and snd-usb-audio module
by FirebUntU 06 Mar '16

06 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. Some more information: lsusb Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1415:2000 Nam Tai E&E Products Ltd. or OmniVision Technologies, Inc. Sony Playstation Eye lsusb -t /: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=ehci_hcd/2p, 480M |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=hub, Driver=hub/6p, 480M |__ Port 2: Dev 7, If 0, Class=vend., Driver=ov534, 480M |__ Port 2: Dev 7, If 1, Class=audio, Driver=snd-usb-audio, 480M |__ Port 2: Dev 7, If 2, Class=audio, Driver=snd-usb-audio, 480M At the moment I'm looking inside ALSA's source code to try to see from where this limitation of 16000kHz for my device appears, but I have to admit that I'm kind of lost. 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] [V2 PATCH] ALSA: hda - Enable mute/mic-mute LEDs for more Thinkpads with Conexant codec
by Hui Wang 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Most Thinkpad Edge series laptops use conexant codec, so far although the codecs have different minor Vendor Id and minor Subsystem Id, they all belong to the cxt5066 family, this change can make the mute/mic-mute LEDs support more generic among cxt_5066 family. This design refers to the similar solution for the realtek codec ALC269 family in the patch_realtek.c.

[alsa-devel] SoundBlaster X-fi HD SPDIF fix
by Richard Körber 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Hi! I own a Creative USB SoundBlaster X-fi HD and tried to use its SPDIF optical output. However it didn't work with ALSA out of the box. The reason is that for SPDIF output device #1 must be used. The fix is: In /usr/share/alsa/cards/USB-Audio.conf, change the iec958_device block like this: USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device { "USB Sound Blaster HD" 1 } Digital output works fine for me after that. BTW, I tried this line in /etc/asound.conf cards.USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device."USB Sound Blaster HD" 1 but it didn't have any effect. Why was that? Thank you! Regards Richard Körber
