alsa-project/alsa-utils issue #55 was edited from maxmbed: ### Description I am encountering an unexpected behaviour with pulse audio master volume in my application. If I set for example left channel to 100% and right channel 0%, and play mono audio file (i.e. audio file with 1 channel only), then I would expect to hear only the audio file on left channel. The actual behaviour in the example of above is when playing the audio file, the Master volume right channel will be automatically adjusted to 50%. If play again it increases to 75% and so on. This issue happens also with other R/L volume level, the case of above is just an example. **Important to note the case does not happen with stereo audio file** where audio sounds on left only channel without altering the volume level as we can expect. ### Steps to repeat issue: (a) Set mixer Lch to 100%, Rch to 0% ``` $ amixer -D default sset Master 65535,0 Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 65536 Mono: Front Left: Playback 65535 [100%] [on] Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [on] ``` (b) Play mono audio file ``` $ aplay -D default ringtone.wav Playing WAVE 'ringtone.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono ``` ### Request (1) Is it by design expected ?

[PATCH v2 0/3] regmap: add SoundWire 1.2 MBQ support
by Pierre-Louis Bossart 16 Sep '20

16 Sep '20

In preparation of the upstream contribution of SDCA (SoundWire Device Class for Audio) ASoC codec drivers [1] [2], add regmap support SoundWire 1.2 MBQ support. The MBQ (Multi-Byte Quantity) registers need to be handled in a different way from regular 8-bit SoundWire registers, their main application is going to be for volume/gain controls. The second patch was initially suggested for inclusion in the SoundWire tree, and was modified to add more background information on SDCA in the commit message as requested by Vinod Koul. Changes since v1: Rebased on regmap tree (conflict with SPI stuff). Removed mod_devicetable.h header Removed -EOPNOTSUPP error codes, use -ENOTSUPP Added long description of SDCA Used FIELD_PREP/GET as suggested by Vinod Koul Added Bard Liao's Acked-by tag.

[PATCH v3 00/11] USB: new USB control message helper functions
by Greg Kroah-Hartman 16 Sep '20

16 Sep '20

In a recent discussion about a USB networking bug found by syzbot, and fixed by Himadri Pandya, the design of the existing usb_control_msg() call was brought up as not being the "nicest" thing to use by Dmitry Vyukov: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CACT4Y+YbDODLRFn8M5QcY4CazhpeCaunJnP_udXtAs0rYoAS… The function makes it hard to get right, in that it will return the number of bytes sent/received, but almost no one checks to see if a short read/write happens. With a malicious, or broken, USB device, this can cause drivers to act on data that they did not anticipate, and sometimes copy internal kernel data out to userspace. So let's fix this up by creating two new functions, usb_control_msg_send() and usb_control_msg_recv(). These functions either complete the full transation, or they return an error, a short send/recv is now an error. They also accept data off of the stack, saving individual drivers the pain of having to constantly allocate memory on their own for tiny messages, thereby saving overall kernel code space. The api also does not require a raw USB "pipe" to be sent to the function, as we know the direction, so just pass in the endpoint number instead, again making it easier on the USB driver author to use. This series first takes a helper function out of the sound core for verifying USB endpoints to be able to use internally, and then adds the new functions, converts over some internal USB code to use them, and then starts to clean up some drivers using these new functions, as an example of the savings that can happen by using these functions. Thanks to Dmitry and Himadri for the idea on how to do all of this. greg k-h ----- Changes from v2: - add Andy's reviewed-by: to patch 3 - remove unneeded change in usb_enable_link_state() in hub.c in patch 4 Changes from v1: - added acks from Takashi Iwai - dropped changes to one function in patch 04 thanks to review from Alan Stern - typo fix in comment in patch 01 - added new patch 11 to remove some unneeded checks in the sound drivers for endpoint statuses that would always be true.
