[alsa-devel] snd_ctl_add_enumerated_elem_set and TLV
by Fulup Ar Foll 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Hi, I'm using snd_ctl_add_enumerated_elem_set to create user controls, I do not understand why it set "TLV readable" option at true by default. I have a simple enumeration without TLV. I use snd_ctl_elem_write but do not call snd_ctl_elem_tlv_write. I do no understand how to prevent snd_ctl_elem_info_is_tlv_readable to return true for this control, obviously even if TLV is set as readable, it is empty and reading fail. Example fulup@fulup-desktop:~/Workspace/AlsaPulse> amixer -D hw:USB cget numid=237 numid=237,iface=MIXER,name='Hal-VolRamp-Mode' ; type=ENUMERATED,access=rw---RW-,values=1,items=4 ; Item #0 'None' ; Item #1 'Normal' ; Item #2 'Smooth' ; Item #3 'Emergency' : values=1 amixer: Control hw:USB element TLV read error: No such device or address Question: is there something special to set when a control does not have a TLV ? Fulup PS: if I write a fake TLV everything goes fine, but this is not what I expect for ENUM.

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: fix balance of of_node_get()/of_node_put()
by Antonio Borneo 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

On Hikey target board, enabling CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC triggers several errors at kernel boot, like the following one OF: ERROR: Bad of_node_put() on /soc/i2s@f7118000/ports/port@0/endpoint each followed by stack dump. Fixed by: - removing of_node_put() in the body of of_for_each_phandle(){}, since already provided at each iteration. Add it in case the loop is break out; - adding of_node_get() before calling of_graph_get_port_parent() or asoc_graph_card_dai_link_of().

Hi Clemens, thank you. In blocking-mode it works. Then i will follow the non-blocking mode. I modified first the callback: void playback_callback (snd_pcm_sframes_t nframes) { snd_pcm_sframes_t avail; avail = snd_pcm_avail_update(handle); while (avail >= period_size) { snd_pcm_writei(handle, buffer_alsa , nframes); avail = snd_pcm_avail_update(handle); std::cout << " Avail: " << avail << std::endl; } } ... called it at the end: playback_callback(period_size); and I get (for "avail"): Frames: 6894888 buffer_size (frames): 2048 buffer_time (frames): 46439 period_size (frames): 256 period_time (usec): 5804 periods (count): 8 Avail: 1282 Avail: 1027 Avail: 772 Avail: 517 Avail: 261 Avail: 6 the same mistake...

You probably want to use non-blocking mode.

[alsa-devel] Gina 3g and Echomixer issue
by Britt Yazel 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

Hey guys, I work in an auditory neuroscience research lab, and we are using a PCI Gina 3g to communicate with a Fireface 800 over ADAT. My issue is this, 1) each time I reboot the system the digital mode is set to Coaxial digital, rather than ADAT, and I must set it after each reboot. Is there a way to make this setting persist through reboot, or perhaps a parameter that can be set when the kernel module is loaded to force ADAT? 2) The first time I switch from Coaxial digital to ADAT upon a reboot, I consistently get a loud squeeling sound coming from my studio monitors. I don't think this is the intended behaviuor, and it makes me worried when switching into ADAT mode. Granted, after switching the first time to ADAT, I can switch between coaxial digital and ADAT without the squeeling happeneing, it is just that first time after the reboot. Thanks for the help guys. The Gina 3g, even though it is an old audio device, is still our most reliable sound card. We have tried many others with horrible success, and most other ADAT capable PCI/PCIe sound cards are far too expensive, and don't have robust Linux support. However, if you guys have a good reccomendation of an ADAT capable PCIe sound card with full Linux support, please let me know. -Britt

Hi everybody, I am new to ALSA-API and would be glad, if someone give me an advice to the following questions. Up to now I used Rtaudio for cross compiling the player for windows and Linux. But know I need to go more into ALSA... - Am I right to use async mode to get lowest latency times and using pause/play/stop? - I used the following piece of code. But don't get any output. The callback output shows "avail" with very short count of frames... I write a whole file (raw) to buffer, called buffer_alsa with 6894888 frames. What is going wrong? I get this output: Frames: 6894888 buffer_size (frames): 2048 buffer_time (frames): 46439 period_size (frames): 256 period_time (usec): 5804 periods (count): 8 Avail: 1540 Avail: 1285 Avail: 1030 Avail: 775 Avail: 520 Avail: 265 Avail: 10 Avail: 2 Avail: 2 Avail: 3 Avail: 2 ...

Note that IIRC you're not really supposed to DMA to or from the stack, there are some platforms with restrictions there so it's possible you're just moving the problem around here if rxbuf can be on the stack.
