Re: [alsa-devel] [PATCH] sound: emu10k1 - fix system hang with Audigy2 ZS Notebook PCMCIA
by Chris Rankin 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hi, I can't say whether this patch fixes the hang at boot-time with the Audigy2 ZS Notebook card, but my workstation with its Audigy 2 PCI card boots a LOT more quietly with this patch. It used to make a sound like a herd of stampeding elephants rushing past (and had done for quiet a while...), but now is far better behaved.

Re: [alsa-devel] Problems regarding alsa-info.sh

Sorry for the quick 2nd post, but ive just been thinking about this.. If we can patch the GIT version with the patch i just emailed, and temporarily put that same file (version 0.4.46) into the HG repo (even if it has to be entered manually) then current script users will get the new script (which contains the new URLs). That will solve half the problem. Then we just need a friendly URL to post in wikis etc. Ive setup a very temporary tinyurl page.. http://tinyurl.com/5bz98h Seems to work ok, but we want something more perm, and more professional looking, really.

[alsa-devel] What does 0dB refer to? (Logitech USB Speakers)
by Lennart Poettering 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Heya! I think I discussed this with both James and Takashi a while back: it would be great if we could initialize the sound card mixers in a better way by default and not everything set to 0. i.e. for output only PCM should be active, at a sensible volume, no bass/treble/3d enabled or whatever. All other sources should be muted. And that for input the mic jack should be active and nothing else, again. Right now people too often have to invest a lot of time to find the right controls to toggle/change in the mixer to get something sensible out of the speakers. Some distributions have started to ship special scripts that try to initialize the volumes properly. I know for the Fedora case that this tool is very very simple, and just initializes PCM and Master to 70% and that's basically it. It would be highly preferable if we had a sane tool like this from alsa upstream, which would set the default values to 0dB, possibly as an extension to "alsactl". I started to hack something similar to this as part of PulseAudio: if PA finds that the PCM slider is not really useful for volume control (no attenuation to at least -60dB, too few steps, no seperate controls for all channels, ...) it falls back to software volume control, however tries to initialize the the slider to 0dB first. Now the thing is, this mostly works fine, however on one of my devices, a pair of external Logitech USB speakers (ID 046d:0a04 Logitech, Inc. V20 portable speakers), the dB scale seems to be totally bogus. According to ALSA volume ranges from -41 dB to +3dB. However, Every setting > -41 dB makes audio awfully loud. Really, really fucking loud that is. Disco loud. As loud that the speakers start jump around centimeters due to the massive vibrations. Setting the volume to 0dB with those speakers really makes you fear you are trashing them. I somehow expected that the magic "0dB" setting in ALSA would refer to some sane default, where the final output would have a sensible volume. In this case this is not so. I am thus wondering how ALSA actually defines 0dB? Is this a bug in the hardware that should be worked around in ALSA? Is this an ALSA bug?

[alsa-devel] ASOC PCM formats
by Jon Smirl 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Why is the AC97 format set to S16 in all of the drivers? The link is 20b and my codec takes 20b, how do I get 20b data to the device? I tried using SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S20_3BE but all I get is static. If I use S24 for the format it works but volume is divided by 16. I think the bits have been right justified into the 24 bits so the bottom four bits are lost. AC97 link is Efika, MPC5200 Codec is STAC9766. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl(a)gmail.com
