[alsa-devel] ASoC TDM channel re-mapping
by Edward Cragg 17 Jun '25

17 Jun '25

Hi, We have an ASoC driver in which we have added support for TDM over an I2S interface. We would like to have the capability of re-mapping the channel ordering, for which i know there is a callback in place to start this process, set_channel_map. The only backend implementation of this is using the ALSA API and the .copy handler in an ALSA PCM driver to mutate data copied out of ALSA before it's DMA'd to hardware. This is in sound/soc/blackfin/bf5xx-i2s-pcm.c The problem we have is that the driver we're using currently uses a dmaengine based PCM driver, and i'm not sure whether this is compatible with using the .copy callback, without reimplementing the driver entirely as an ALSA PCM driver. Since there aren't very many examples in mainline, I was hoping to ask for advice for the best way of doing this. I wondered: - Would it be possible to add a functional copy callback using a dmaengine based PCM driver? - Otherwise, would there be a good way to implement channel remapping in a TDM frame using the dmaengine based PCM driver? or - Would the best way indeed be to reimplement the PCM driver as a normal ALSA PCM driver? Thanks, Ed Cragg

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.

[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?

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] Attempting to understand odd snd-usb-audio code and behavior
by Keith A. Milner 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

Over the last few weeks I've been trying to dig through the snd-usb-audio code to try to get an understanding of it. I've used ftrace and also a local version which I have heavily polluted with kprintf(KERN_INFO statements so I can track what it's doing in practice. I've been playing with this with some USB audio interfaces I have some which work, and some which don't, and trying to understand the differences and, ultimately, what I can do to make the non-functioning ones work. I've got to the point where I have a fairly good understanding of some parts, but I'm struggling to understand why the code is behaving as it does in practice. My observation when plugging the USB device in is that, as expected, it tries to build the audio device, and add components to it including attaching capture and playback streams. It seems to go through this phase without too many surprises, and we get to the standard dmesg output: usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio After this, it gets confusing. It seems to open and close the PCMs (e.g, snd_usb_capture_open) several times in a row. Each time it sets up the hardware info, checks and sets the format and then closes the PCM. I don't see anything obviously different between most of these cycles. Here's an example my logging output (hopefully this will make sense): Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140789] Called: pcm.c - snd_usb_capture_open for pcm substream 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140789] Called: pcm.c - snd_usb_pcm_open for pcm substream 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140789] Setting up hw info Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140789] Checking format: Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140790] Interface number = 2 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140790] alt setting = 1 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140790] alt setting index = 1 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140790] format type = 1 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140790] frame size = 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140791] Setting pt=125 ptmin=125 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140792] Checking for unusual bit rates Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140794] Called: init.c - snd_card_file_remove Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140921] Called: pcm.c - snd_usb_hw_params for pcm substream 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140945] Setting format: Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140945] Bytes per period = 8816 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140945] Frames per period = 1102 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140946] Periods per buffer = 4 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140946] Channels = 2 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.140946] Rate = 44100 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.141279] Called: endpoint.c - snd_usb_add_endpoint of type 0 with direction 1 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.141292] Called: pcm.c - snd_usb_pcm_prepare for pcm substream 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.141293] Called: pcm.c - configure_endpoint Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.141294] Called: endpoint.c - snd_usb_endpoint_set_params for endpoint 142, type 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.141294] Setting endpoint params for endpoint num 142 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.141294] channels=2 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.141294] period bytes=8816 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.141295] frames per period=1102 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.141295] periods per buffer=4 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.141296] Called: endpoint.c - data_ep_set_params for endpoint 142, type 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.141301] Called: pcm.c - snd_usb_pcm_prepare for pcm substream 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.142768] Called: init.c - snd_card_file_add Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.142772] Called: init.c - snd_card_file_remove Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.142774] Called: init.c - snd_card_file_add Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.142830] Called: init.c - snd_card_file_remove Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.142836] Called: pcm.c - snd_usb_hw_free for pcm substream 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.142837] Called: endpoint.c - snd_usb_endpoint_deactivate for endpoint 142, type 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.142846] Called: pcm.c - snd_usb_capture_close for pcm substream 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.146760] Called: init.c - snd_card_file_remove Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.146834] Called: init.c - snd_card_file_add Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.146838] Called: init.c - snd_card_file_remove Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.146841] Called: init.c - snd_card_file_add Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.146845] Called: init.c - snd_card_file_add Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.146848] Called: pcm.c - snd_usb_capture_open for pcm substream 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.146849] Called: pcm.c - snd_usb_pcm_open for pcm substream 0 Aug 22 20:04:16 kerneldev kernel: [ 923.146849] Setting up hw info It seems to do this several times, before the behavior changing slightly, as it now starts to try to set the endpoint parameters and seems to leave the stream open.

It also seems to try harder with some devices than others, even though the device descriptors seem very similar. Can anyone explain any of this to me, particularly why it's exhibiting this behaviour. I've uploaded one of the logs from a non-working device to Pastebin if anyone wants to look at a full example: https://pastebin.com/uBZEuQ57 Also, is this the best way to approach this, or are there other tools/techniques that can help? I've experimented with ftrace and that was useful, but didn't give the level of detail I wanted. Cheers, Keith

[alsa-devel] Simultaneous play/record on implicit feedback device causes 'endpoint in use' error
by Robert Giaraffa 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

My company (Silicon Labs) makes a CP2615 USB audio class 1.0 device which uses implicit feedback. I saw these two issues when testing with aplay/arecord/alsabat/alsaloop: * During playback-only operation, the implicit feedback (IN) endpoint was not active. * During play/record operation, the implicit feedback values were not acted on, i.e. the host always sent 192 bytes per OUT packet even if previous IN packets had been 188 or 196 bytes. This behavior was observed on these systems: RaspberryPi2: Raspbian 9 (stretch), kernel v4.14.72 x86-64: Ubuntu 18.04, kernel v4.15.0-36 I was able to get implicit feedback working properly in playback mode by adding a device-specific quirk to 'pcm.c' that is similar to existing quirks for implicit-feedback devices, e.g. M-Audio Fast Track Ultra. (Note: The following patch applies to kernel v4.14.72. In v4.18, the set_sync_ep_implicit_fb_quirk function was changed so that there is a single call to usb_ifnum_to_if(), rather than a call for each device-dependent quirk.) $ git diff pcm.c diff --git a/sound/usb/pcm.c b/sound/usb/pcm.c index b9c9a19f..6fb5567b 100644 --- a/sound/usb/pcm.c +++ b/sound/usb/pcm.c @@ -358,6 +358,21 @@ static int set_sync_ep_implicit_fb_quirk(struct snd_usb_substream *subs, alts = &iface->altsetting[1]; goto add_sync_ep; + case USB_ID(0x10C4, 0xEAC1): // Silicon Labs CP2615 + // Ensure CP2615 is configured in Async Mode + if (attr != USB_ENDPOINT_SYNC_ASYNC) + return 0; + + // In P16R16 async mode, AudioIN EP (IF:4 EP:0x83) used for implicit feedback + ep = 0x83; + iface = usb_ifnum_to_if(dev, 4); + + if (!iface || iface->num_altsetting == 0) + return -EINVAL; + + alts = &iface->altsetting[1]; + goto add_sync_ep; + } if (attr == USB_ENDPOINT_SYNC_ASYNC && altsd->bInterfaceClass == USB_CLASS_VENDOR_SPEC && After adding the patch, I verified that implicit feedback worked properly for playback, i.e. the OUT samples per packet tracked previous IN values.

Are there any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Bob Giaraffa

[alsa-devel] Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 gen1 - input handling fix
by Jens Verwiebe 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

The Scarlett 6i6 has no padding on rear inputs 3/4 but a gainstage. This patch introduces this functionality as to be seen in the mac or windows scarlett control. The correct address could already be found in the dump info, but was never used. Cheers ...
