[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] ASoC: codec: wm8960: Relax bit clock computation when using PLL
by Daniel Baluta 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

This is a follow up of commit 3c01b9ee2ab ("ASoC: codec: wm8960: Relax bit clock computation") where we relaxed bitclk when sysclk was derived from MCLK. Now, we do the same thing for sysclk derived using PLL. Changes since v1: * fixed "may be used uninitialized" warnings [i strongly believe they were compiler false positive - see full warning log here (1)] * fixed break for inner loop [1] http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2017-April/119513.html Daniel Baluta (2): ASoC: codec: wm9860: Refactor PLL out freq search ASoC: codec: wm8960: Relax bit clock computation when using PLL sound/soc/codecs/wm8960.c | 109 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 80 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4

[alsa-devel] Question about hw_param with Ctrl-Z + fg
by Kuninori Morimoto 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Hi ALSA SoC ML We noticed that 2nd hw_param on ALSA SoC isn't called if we used Ctrl-Z + fg on aplay. hw_param is necessary especially if we use sampling rate converter (it depends on .be_hw_params_fixup). Ctrl-Z will use notmal STOP, and fg will use normal START, thus it is impossible to distinction Ctrl-C (stop) or Ctrl-Z (temporary suspension). Is this aplay issue ? or kernel issue ? start/stop case - aplay xxx.wav => - hw_param - SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START - Ctrl-C (stop) - SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_STOP Ctrl-Z case - aplay xxx.wav => - hw_param - SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START - Ctrl-Z - SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_STOP - fg => - ## no hw_param here - SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START - Ctrl-C (stop) - SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_STOP Best regards --- Kuninori Morimoto

Re: [alsa-devel] mono/stereo translation & number of frames per period
by Paul Stone 05 Apr '17

If my driver reports channels_min of '1', then the following command produces silence rather than the expected tone. Maybe, there is a problem due to the nonstandard frequency of 16 kHz? # speaker-test -D plughw:3,0 -c1 -r16000 -l4 -t wav -w ~/1kmono.wav After rewriting my driver to support having only a single channel, I found that I have to be very careful about the parameters I provide in the hardware definition, otherwise ALSA will tend to ask for a copy operation outside of the bounds of my buffer space. This surprises me, because I'm providing the size of the buffer with the buffer_bytes_max. The buffer overrun in the copy doesn't happen all the time, and my ALSA is pretty old, so I thought maybe my ALSA has a race condition, and sometimes doesn't reset to the start of the buffer for the copy. The immediate prior pointer callback returned zero, so it seems like the problem is ALSA's. I modified my copy function to detect this situation and position to the start of the buffer, and it seems to work better now. -Paul Stone

The driver should report only those sample formats that the hardware actually supports. The ALSA library can do automatic sample rate/format conversions (with the "default" or "plughw" devices). However, this does not work if you bypass it with the "hw" device. Thanks Clemens. One problem I am having is that my driver doesn't always work with the plughw interface. For instance, the following stereo pipeline works for 'hw:3,0' but outputs silence for 'plughw:3,0': gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:///home/root/Iguazu.mp3 audio-sink="alsasink device=plughw:3,0" I am using older ALSA libraries, so maybe there is a bug there? alsa-lib-1.0.27.2-r1 My hw definition looks like this: static struct snd_pcm_hardware snd_imx_audio_playback_hw = { .info = (SNDRV_PCM_INFO_MMAP | SNDRV_PCM_INFO_INTERLEAVED | SNDRV_PCM_INFO_BLOCK_TRANSFER ), .formats = SNDRV_PCM_FMTBIT_S16_LE, .rates = SNDRV_PCM_RATE_16000, .rate_min = 16000, .rate_max = 16000, .channels_min = 2, .channels_max = 2, .buffer_bytes_max = PLAYBACK_TOTAL_BUFFER_SIZE, // total num buffers * buffer size .period_bytes_min = PLAYBACK_STEREO_BUFFER_SIZE, .period_bytes_max = PLAYBACK_STEREO_BUFFER_SIZE, .periods_min = 1, .periods_max = PLAYBACK_TOTAL_NUM_BUFFERS, };

[alsa-devel] Question re: static-y sound on an Asus Prime Z270-A motherboard...
by Graham TerMarsch 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

I recently purchased a new computer w/an Asus Prime Z270-A motherboard in it, which uses a Realtek ALC S1220-A chipset (according to the specs at asus.com) Although the "snd_hda_codec_generic" module does load and produce sound, the "left speaker" outputs static along with the sound. Quieter the sound, the louder the static. If I use the headphone jack the sound is perfect, but using the speaker output it has static (and _only_ on the left side). I'm currently running Fedora-25, and the 4.10.5 kernel release. I tried patching in a535ad57d0e6b ("hda/realtek - New codec support of ALC1220") but with no luck; upon rebooting it does not load that module. Loading it with "modprobe" directly also does not generate any output to indicate that it detected the card and is in use. I'm not sure what the exact status is for this motherboard at the moment and whether or not it is currently supported, but I thought I would reach out and ask. Would be happy to test patches and/or provide any info I can from this motherboard, if that would prove useful. Much appreciated, -- Graham TerMarsch

[alsa-devel] PROBLEM: Internal microphone (& combined headset jack, in default config) not working on Acer VN7-592G (Skylake)
by Ralf Jung 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hi all, (This is my first bugreport to a mailing list, so I hope I'm filling out everything properly here...) [1.] Internal microphone (& combined headset jack, in default config) not working on Acer VN7-592G (Skylake) [2.] The internal microphone of my new laptop, an Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition (VN7-592G) with Skylake, is not working. The machine has a single "headset" jack which is supposed to support both speakers, microphones, and "combined jacks" that carry both audio-in and audio-out (like they are common on smartphones). Without any further configuration, the jack works only for external speakers. A plugged-in microphone doesn't seem to do anything, for a combined headset (i.e. sth. with both microphone and speaker in one jack), only the speaker part works. I tried all combinations of settings in pavucontrol, i.e., "Speakers" (that's the internal ones) vs. "Headphones" for audio output and "Microphone" vs. "Headset Microhpone" for the audio input. I was able to improve the situation by adding this to modprobe.d: options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi Now, mics and external speakers plugged in work fine (where for mics, I need to manually configure them in pacuvontrol: "Speakers" and "Microphone"). Combined headsets also work (with "Headphones" and "Headset Microphone"), i.e. I get audio in and audio out, but the audio in from the microphone is fairly noisy. I am not sure whether this is due to the headset or the laptop; I am using the same headset with my phone and people I called did not complain about noise. Furthermore, there is a weird effect: I have a headset with *separate* plugs for speaker and mic (which I used above to test the speaker vs. mic functionality). If I plug in the speaker part, but configure it as a microhpone (out: "Speakers", in: "Microphone"), then I actually get a (rather noisy) input signal. Not sure what is going on there, but I'm reasonably sure it is getting that signal from the headset, not the internal mic of the laptop. Even with this configuration, the internal microphone of the laptop dos not work. The system seems entirely unaware that there even is an internal microphone. Here's a Ubuntu bugreport with other folks having the same problem: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1523100> [3.] Keywords: audio microphone skylake combined-jack [4.] Kernel information [4.1.] Kernel version (from /proc/version): Linux version 4.9.1 (r@r-schwarzschild) (gcc version 6.2.1 20161124 (Debian 6.2.1-5) ) #1 SMP Sun Jan 8 11:40:58 CET 2017 This is a vanilla kernel compiled myself; I'm otherwise on Debian testing amd64.

[alsa-devel] ESI Maya22 init issues
by Rabit 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hi AlsaDevs, Seems like something wrong with maya22 usb initialization. I'm trying to use my control application after lin init (fail) and win init (working): https://github.com/rabits/esi-maya22-linux - it's working fine on ubuntu 14.04 ~yr ago, when I'm done this app, but now it's broken... Could you please help me with figuring out what's wrong? I can attach required info and try another ubuntu versions. Attached alsainfo. Also can provide pcapng with init process for lin & win. -- Best regards

[alsa-devel] [RFC][PATCH] ASoC: soc-core: verify Sound Card normality
by Kuninori Morimoto 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Current ALSA SoC Sound Card basically consists of CPU/Codec/Platform drivers. If system uses Kernel modules, we can disable these drivers by using rmmod command. In such case, we can't disable CPU/Codec/Platform driver without disabling Sound Card driver. But on the other hand, we can disable these drivers by using unbind command. In such case, we can disable these drivers randomly. In this case, we can create dirty Sound Card which is missing necessary components. (1) If user disabled Sound Card first, but did nothing to other drivers, user can't use Sound because Sound Card is no longer exists. (2) If user disabled CPU/Codec/Platform driver randomly, but did nothing to Sound Card, user still be able to use Sound Card, because dirty Sound Card which is missing necessary components still exists. In this case, Sound system will be crashed if user started sound playback/capture. But we can't block such random unbind now. To avoid Sound Card crash in (2) case, what we can do now is, add dirty flag on Sound Card, and avoid to open Sound Card. This patch solved this issue. Signed-off-by: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx(a)renesas.com> --- Mark, Lars-Peter This is still RFC, but I think we need to consider about this issue.

[alsa-devel] mono/stereo translation & number of frames per period
by Paul Stone 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

I thought that simply by reporting that my driver only supports two channels, that I could simply utilize a mixer or that ALSA would automatically support sending and receiving monaural data to/from my stereo-only driver. Ultimately, I wasn't able to make it work. Is this a mode of operation that ALSA supports, or does ALSA require the driver to support single-channel operation in order to send/receive monaural data? So, I decided that I should support both mono and stereo in the driver. It appears that ALSA looks at the minimum period size and decides to send that much audio data for playback. The minimum period size is in bytes, which means that the number of mono and stereo frames per period will differ. This introduces a bit of additional unwanted complexity. I'm wondering if there is a way for ALSA to support a fixed number of frames per period. I see that there is a bit field SNDRV_PCM_INFO_FIFO_IN_FRAMES, and a fifo_size h/w parameter, but I'm not sure how this relates to the period size. I feel like this is a common mode of operation (fixed number of frames per period, regardless of the number of channels), and that it's likely supported by ALSA, but I don't know how it's supposed to work. Should I set up a rule to alter the minimum period size, based on the number of channels? Best Regards, Paul Stone
