[alsa-devel] MOTU Midi Express XT
by holger＠dehnhardt.org 06 Nov '25

06 Nov '25

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

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From fd2df3aeafa4b4cc468d58e147e0822967034b71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Annaliese McDermond <nh6z(a)nh6z.net> Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2019 17:58:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: tlv320aic32x4: Model CODEC_CLKIN in CCF Model and manage codec clock input as a component in the Core Clock Framework. This should allow us to do some more complex clock management and power control. Also, some of the on-board chip clocks can be exposed to the outside, and this change will make those clocks easier to consume by other parts of the kernel.

retire_capture_urb: Corrected urb data len
by Sean Anderson 01 Aug '25

01 Aug '25

Hi all, I have a "FiiO DigiHug USB Audio" sound card (1852:7022) [3]. I have had no problems with the audio, but I did notice a large number of message like retire_capture_urb: 4992 callbacks suppressed in my dmesg [1]. This is caused by the "Corrected urb data len." warning. The patch adding this warning [2] makes it seem like this warning should be an uncommon occurance. However, based on the number of suppressed callbacks, this seems to be happening at a rate of around 500 Hz. Is this buggy hardware? Or is this a bug in the driver? Does there need to be a quirk? Or perhaps the warning above should be a debug instead? I'm using 5.15.0-46-generic. I know, I know; this is a vendor kernel. However, I went through the commits for sound/usb/pcm.c and didn't see any major differences. I also previously saw this issue on 5.4, so this probably isn't a regression. --Sean [1] I would have liked to post the actual message, but I was unable to figure out how to disable ratelimiting. I tried setting /proc/sys/kernel/printk_ratelimit to 0, /proc/sys/kernel/printk_ratelimit_burst to 5000, and /proc/sys/kernel/printk to 8. However, nothing seemed to have any effect (except that the callbacks suppressed messages were disabled). I find this very strange, given that the callbacks suppressed message uses KERN_WARN, and so does dev_warn_ratelimited.

[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

[PATCH] ASoC: qcom: soundwire: Add support for controlling audio CGCR from HLOS
by Srinivasa Rao Mandadapu 17 Jun '25

17 Jun '25

Add support for controlling soundwire audio CGCR interface using clock framework to make hclk ungating with software. As per new hardware changes, software has to always ungate hclk if soundwire is operational and keep it running. This requirement is for latest LPASS chipsets for RX, TX and WSA path to work.

[RESEND PATCH v2] drm/bridge: dw-hdmi-i2s: set insert_pcuv bit if hardware supports it
by Geraldo Nascimento 30 Dec '24

30 Dec '24

Hi Mark, resending this as it failed to apply in my last submission. Added Neil Armstrong to Cc: as hopefully he will be able to better review this. Thanks, Geraldo Nascimento --- Starting with version 2.10a of Synopsys DesignWare HDMI controller the insert_pcuv bit was introduced. On RK3399pro SoM (Radxa Rock Pi N10), for example, if we neglect to set this bit and proceed to enable hdmi_sound and i2s2 on the device tree there will be extreme clipping of sound output, to the point that music sounds like white noise.

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

[PATCH v2 0/3] ASoC: mediatek:mt8186: fix both the speaker and hdmi
by Jiaxin Yu 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

The speaker and hdmi of mt8186 platform are shared the same port of I2S, when connect the external display, use build-in speakers to play audio, they both playback at the same time. So we want to manage the playback device through DAPM events. Change since v1: Support audio function for it6505 bridge to hdmi-codec Jiaxin Yu (3): ASoC: hdmi-codec: Add event handler for hdmi TX ASoC: mediatek: mt8186: correct the HDMI widgets drm/bridge: it6505: Add audio support drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/ite-it6505.c | 81 +++++++++++++++++-- include/sound/hdmi-codec.h | 6 ++ sound/soc/codecs/hdmi-codec.c | 37 ++++++++- .../mt8186/mt8186-mt6366-da7219-max98357.c | 2 +- .../mt8186/mt8186-mt6366-rt1019-rt5682s.c | 2 +- 5 files changed, 116 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) -- 2.18.0
