[alsa-devel] MOTU Midi Express XT
by holger＠dehnhardt.org 13 Mar '26

13 Mar '26

I own a MOTU Midi Express XT 8x8 interface which is connected through the parallel port. Recently I upgraded my system and the new motherboard does not have an ISA parallel port anymore... So I bought a PCI parallel port extension card - hoping that it will work with the ALSA driver (mtpav). So I changed the interrupt an port address in modules.conf but the driver is no longer recognized as an ALSA driver even though it loads without errors. As the device still perfectly fits my needs I would like to modify the driver to get it working again. Can anyone give me advice what should be changed in the drivers code to make it work on a pci port? Thanks Holger

[alsa-devel] Applied "ASoC: tlv320aic32x4: Model CODEC_CLKIN in CCF" to the asoc tree
by Mark Brown 13 Mar '26

The patch ASoC: tlv320aic32x4: Model CODEC_CLKIN in CCF has been applied to the asoc tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail.

[PATCH] ASoC: SOF: Intel: Retry codec probing if it fails
by Kai Vehmanen 04 Dec '25

04 Dec '25

From: Hui Wang <hui.wang(a)canonical.com> On the latest Lenovo Thinkstation laptops, we often experience the speaker failure after rebooting, check the dmesg, we could see: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl 0000:00:1f.3: codec #0 probe error, ret: -5 The analogue codec on the machine is ALC287, then we designed a testcase to reboot and check the codec probing result repeatedly, we found the analogue codec probing always failed at least once within several minutes to several hours (roughly 1 reboot per min). This issue happens on all laptops of this Thinkstation model, but with legacy HDA driver, we couldn't reproduce this issue on those laptops. And so far, this issue is not reproduced on machines which don't belong to this model. We tried to make the hda_dsp_ctrl_init_chip() same as hda_intel_init_chip() which is the controller init routine in the legacy HDA driver, but it didn't help. We found when issue happens, the resp is -1, and if we let driver re-run send_cmd() and get_response(), it will get the correct response 10ec0287, then driver continues the rest work, finally boot to the desktop and all audio function work well. Here adding codec probing retries to 3 times, it could fix the issue on this Thinkstation model, and it doesn't bring impact to other machines.

[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

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] Error patching file pcm_native.c

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. Specifically, it's a problem when patching pcm_native.c: [..] copying file alsa-kernel/core/info.c patching file info.c copying file alsa-kernel/core/pcm.c patching file pcm.c Hunk #3 succeeded at 739 (offset 2 lines).

My OS is Fedora 11 x86_64. Previous snapshots didn't give me this problem, but I can't say which one broke the compilation, since I usually try updated snapshots only at kernel updates. I searched for this error and the only relevant report I could find is this one: http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2009-April/016420.html a report from last April. What could the problem be? Thanks _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.
