[PATCH 0/9] ALSA: usb-audio: More fixes / improvements on PCM
by Takashi Iwai 22 Apr '25

22 Apr '25

Hi, this is a patch set for USB-audio to fix and improve the PCM stream handling. The primary target is the enhancement of the low-latency playback that was introduced recently for dealing with the small period size (that is used typically by JACK). There are a few other fixes that are relevant with it. The current patches are found in topic/usb-audio branch of sound.git tree, too. Takashi === Takashi Iwai (9): ALSA: usb-audio: Restrict rates for the shared clocks ALSA: usb-audio: Fix possible race at sync of urb completions ALSA: usb-audio: Rename early_playback_start flag with lowlatency_playback ALSA: usb-audio: Disable low-latency playback for free-wheel mode ALSA: usb-audio: Disable low-latency mode for implicit feedback sync ALSA: usb-audio: Check available frames for the next packet size ALSA: usb-audio: Add spinlock to stop_urbs() ALSA: usb-audio: Improved lowlatency playback support ALSA: usb-audio: Avoid killing in-flight URBs during draining sound/usb/card.h | 11 ++- sound/usb/endpoint.c | 230 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ sound/usb/endpoint.h | 13 ++- sound/usb/pcm.c | 157 ++++++++++++++++++++++------- 4 files changed, 305 insertions(+), 106 deletions(-) -- 2.26.2

hda: how to implement component master_unbind?
by Kai Vehmanen 20 Dec '24

20 Dec '24

Hi Takashi et al, I've been having multiple discussions with our i915 team w.r.t. audio driver behaviour when the aggregate component is unbound, triggered by i915 unbind. This came up again in the recent regression with devres allocations and I now dug into the topic again. In short, I'm puzzled how to really implement this. ALSA (or ASoC) don't really have support for individual components of a card disappearing in a hotplug fashion. At card level, we do have such support (USB, firewire and recent work for PCI hotplug). But not individual components of a card getting unplugged. In current code we have this: static void hdac_component_master_unbind(struct device *dev) { » struct drm_audio_component *acomp = hdac_get_acomp(dev); » if (acomp->audio_ops && acomp->audio_ops->master_unbind) » » acomp->audio_ops->master_unbind(dev, acomp); » module_put(acomp->ops->owner); » component_unbind_all(dev, acomp); » WARN_ON(acomp->ops || acomp->dev); } ... when e.g. i915 driver is unbound (but could be any driver using the component framework, not jus Intel hw), i915 calls component_del() and HDA gets call to the above. After this, acomp ops are null are audio no longer has ability to talk to i915 driver (which makes sense given it's unbound). If audio was runtime suspended, this kind of works (but relies on some good luck). Upon HDA controller resume, we note acomp ops are NULL and HDMI/DP operations (like snd_hdac_display_power()) silently become no-ops. PCM streaming will go to /dev/null, but this is ok'ish since no monitor can be connected anyways. If audio was active, we start to get warnings or worse. Audio expects hw display codec to be powered and programmed, but suddenly it mey lose state. If the audio controller is actually part of the display hardware (e.g. discrete GPUs), then controller registers can stop functioning (they should be still available, but given the main diplay driver is unbound, odds of suprising behaviour are high). So this is less than ideal. I've been looking at options: 1) prevent/block the unbind if audio device is busy The component framework does not allow individual components to return -EBUSY, so there's no way to let others know that unbind is not possible now. This would force anyone testing DRM driver unbind to first unbind the audio driver and stop any active audio use-cases if needed. 2) unbind the ALSA card I've experimented doing a device_unregister() from the above callback, but this has not really worked (onion peeling exercise of new probelms). The code is shared by multiple controllers, so getting a handle to an snd_card object is not straighforward (drvdata is differnet for SOF and snd-hda-intel for instance). But with some new work, maybe we could call snd_card_disconnect() to detach the card and inform user-space. 3) continue as-is and try to fix bugs If audio is active, maybe we could force a acomp->put_power() to ensure a clean unregister of the display part. But this leaves a big chunk of issues especially with HDA controllers that require the display to be powered on, to function. .. Any ideas, and/or has there been prior work? It seems Takashi it's been mostly you who has been active working on the acomp integration recently. I also included Chris, Daniel and Jani who've had patches to hdac_component.c. Br, Kai

[alsa-devel] [RFC PATCH 00/10] Add support for DMA and audio codec of F1C100s
by Mesih Kilinc 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

This is RFC patchset for Allwinner suniv F1C100s to support DMA and audio codec. Allwinner F1C100s has a audio codec that has necessary digital and analog parts. It has r-l headphone output and microphone, line, r-l FM inputs. ADC can capture any inputs and also output channels via mux. Any input channels or DAC samples can feed output channels. Add support for this audio codec. F1C100s utilizes DMA channels to send and receive ADC-DAC samples. So DMA support needed. Patch 1~5 adds support for DMA. Suniv F1C100s has very similar DMA to sun4i. But there is some dissimilarities also. Suniv features a DMA reset bit in clock control unit. It has smaller number of DMA channels. Several registers has different addresses. It's max burst size is 4 instead of 8. Also DMA endpoint numbers are different. Patch 6 adds DMA max burst option to sun4i-codec. Patch 7~8 Add support for suniv F1C100s audio codec. Patch 9 adds audio codec to suniv-f1c100s.dtsi Patch 10 adds audio codec support to Lichee Pi Nano board. Thanks!

[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

Re: RFC: usb: gadget: u_audio: Notifying gadget that host started playback/capture?

Hi, Dne 08. 09. 21 v 10:21 Pavel Hofman napsal(a): > Hi, > > The current audio gadget has no way to inform the gadget side that the > host side has started playback/capture and that gadget-side alsa > processes should be started. > > Playback/capture processes on the host side do not get stuck without the > gadget side consuming/producing data (OUT requests are ignored in > u_audio_iso_complete, IN ones send initial zeros in their req->buf). > > However, playback/capture processes on the gadget side get stuck without > the host side sending playback OUT packets or capture IN requests and > time out with error.

Their values are set/reset in methods u_audio_start_capture/playback and u_audio_stop_capture/playback, i.e. at changes of respective altsettings from 0 to 1 and back. Every ctl elem value change sends notification via snd_ctl_notify. The principle works OK for capture/playback start/stop on the host, as monitored by alsactl: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ alsactl monitor hw:UAC2Gadget node hw:UAC2Gadget, #4 (3,0,0,Capture Requested,0) VALUE node hw:UAC2Gadget, #4 (3,0,0,Capture Requested,0) VALUE node hw:UAC2Gadget, #3 (3,0,0,Playback Requested,0) VALUE node hw:UAC2Gadget, #3 (3,0,0,Playback Requested,0) VALUE However at enumeration the USB host switches both playback and capture altsettings repeatedly, generating "fake" events from the gadget side POW. The host even sends regular-sized EP-OUT packets filled with zeros during enumeration (tested on linux only for now). Please is there any way to "detect" the enumeration stage to mask out the "fake" playback/capture start/stop events? The attached patch does not apply cleanly to mainline u_audio.c because it's rebased on other patches not submitted yet but it's only a discussion inducer for now. Thanks a lot, Pavel.

[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

Regression playing 24bit/96kHz audio on USB audio interface between 5.10.94 and 5.15.21
by Ruud van Asseldonk 02 Jan '23

Hi, I have a program that configures a Behringer UMC404HD 192k USB audio interface for playback as follows (pseudocode): snd_pcm_hw_params_set_channels(pcm, hwp, 2); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format(pcm, hwp, SND_PCM_FORMAT_S24_3LE); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access(pcm, hwp, SND_PCM_ACCESS_MMAP_INTERLEAVED); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate(pcm, hwp, val=96000, dir=0); snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size_near(pcm, hwp, val=513, dir=0); // If I confirm at this point with snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size, // I get back 513. snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_size_near(pcm, hwp, val=2052); snd_pcm_hw_params(pcm, hwp); // If I confirm with snd_pcm_hw_params_get_buffer_size, // I get back 2052. On Linux 5.10.94 (specifically Arch Linux ARM package linux-rpi-5.10.94-1), this succeeds, and I can play back audio just fine. On 5.15.21 (specifically linux-rpi-5.15.21-3), all the calls succeed apart from the last one, which returns EINVAL. (My actual program is written in Rust and uses a Rust wrapper library for libasound, https://docs.rs/alsa/0.6.0/alsa/, but the calls should be the ones listed.) I confirmed with snd_pcm_hw_params_test_format that the S24_3LE format is supported. On both kernels it is successful. I confirmed with snd_pcm_hw_params_test_rate that 96 kHz is supported. On both kernels it is successful. There are differences though. When I query these: snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size_min snd_pcm_hw_params_get_period_size_max snd_pcm_hw_params_get_buffer_size_min snd_pcm_hw_params_get_buffer_size_max Then on 5.10.94 (the good version), I get: period size min/max: 12/32768, buffer size min/max: 24/65536 But on 5.15.21 (the bad version), I get: period size min/max: 13/71332, buffer size min/max: 26/142663 Also, after I set the period size to 513, if I then query the buffer size min/max, on 5.10.94 I get: buffer size min/max: 1026/65536 But on 5.15.21 I get: buffer size min/max: 1027/142663 In lsmod, snd_usb_audio shows up, and from lsusb -v, the UMC404HD appears to be a standard USB audio interface. The lsusb output is identical on both kernels. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help further diagnose the issue, or if I should report this elsewhere. Kind regards, Ruud van Asseldonk
