Re: [alsa-devel] porter wanted: AMD Geode SCx200 driver OSS to ALSA

Sorry for this really late reply, I just wanted to add a note: > > (Would now also be a good time to ask for snd-sc5535audio to be > > renamed snd-sc5535 for consistence with other driver names?) > > I agree with you, I think it should be renamed. I've just ported the SND_KAHLUA driver from OSS (patch not released yet). It covers the cs5530 (VSA1 only). I've named it snd-cs5530. This audio suffix seems a bit wacky to me. Surely the snd prefix is adequate to distinguish it from an IDE driver, for example :) Ash = Nose Surgery Specialist in Manhattan, NY Rhinoplasty surgeon Geoffrey W.

[alsa-devel] Strange findings about the microphone in SigmaTel STAC9221 A1
by Ivan N. Zlatev 20 May '07

20 May '07

My hda-intel card is with the following codec: Codec: SigmaTel STAC9221 A1 Address: 0 Vendor Id: 0x83847680 Subsystem Id: 0x106b1700 Revision Id: 0x103401 I am using alsa 1.0.14rc4. I have a built-in microphone, which doesn't work, but today I found out something interesting. If I set the capture to minimum and place Mux at specific positions (Works with middle-ish and top, not bottom-ish) suddenly the mic started recording, but the quality is extremly bad. I have attached amixer and co. Does anyone have a clue what the issue is and how could possibly this little bit of random foundings to be used to possibly fix the mic? Regards. -- Ivan N.

[alsa-devel] ICE1712/1724 HW mixing?
by Rene Herman 19 May '07

19 May '07

Good day. I've been updating the TerraTec vendor page in the new wiki matrix: http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Terratec The problem with information that looks maintained though is that when something's _not_ mentioned, it might be interpreted to mean it's not actually working.... I have the older TerraTec cards (both ISA and PCI) but not any of the ICE1712/ICE1724 ones. Could someone verify/confirm that the ICE1712 (Envy24?) does not support 24-bit samples? And that ICE1724 supports only 32-bit in hardware? Does either chip/driver support hardware mixing? Filling out some of the Digital I/O tags for any Aureon card that you know would be nice as well. Rene.

[alsa-devel] I don't understand snd_pcm_ops
by Timur Tabi 19 May '07

19 May '07

I'm new to ALSA driver development, and I'm writing an SOC driver for new hardware. Can someone explain to me what the snd_pcm_ops structure is for? And it sounds like a stupid question, but after studying documentation and sample code, I'm still confused. First off, I thought PCM stood for Pulse Code Modulation, but that just describes the format of the digital data. I don't understand what a PCM operation could be. I've seen documentation where PCM is considered an alternative to I2S or AC97. But if you look at eti_b1_wm8731.c, you'll see this: #include "at91-pcm.h" #include "at91-i2s.h" So is the AT91 a PCM device or an I2S device??? Some background: I'm writing driver for a new SOC that has an I2S interface, and it's talking to a CS4270 codec, but the CS4270 codec is wired up in "stand-alone" mode, so there's no software configuration. -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale

Re: [alsa-devel] Alsa 1.0.13 (and others) does not work on ALC880
by Eric De Vito 19 May '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Tobin thank you for your so helpful recommendations ! In fact the key was probe_mask=1. But I did not see this option in the hda-intel module description :-( ... Now I added probe_mask)=1 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and it works either with 1.0.13 or 14rc4 :-). In fact when alsa is compiled with debug=detect this option is not necessary any more and sound works even without this option ... Does this option (probe_mask=1) limitates something in the sound system ? Is it better to not use it or is it painless for audio possibilities ? Thank you again for your help !!! Now to be more precise : 1) If I compile 14rc4 with debug=detect it can be compiled, modules can be inserted : - --> when inserted with # modprobe -v snd-hda-intel model=clevo I get in /var/log/messages : May 18 22:32:05 gondor kernel: [ 6012.711362] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 May 18 22:32:05 gondor kernel: [ 6012.774627] ALSA /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:698: codec_mask = 0x3 May 18 22:32:06 gondor kernel: [ 6013.404197] ALSA /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1795: hda_codec: model 'clevo' is selected May 18 22:32:08 gondor kernel: [ 6015.083303] ALSA /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:558: hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode... - -> when inserted with # modprobe -v snd-hda-intel model=clevo probe_mask=1 I get in /var/log/messages : May 18 22:32:50 gondor kernel: [ 6057.162063] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 May 18 22:32:50 gondor kernel: [ 6057.243574] ALSA /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:698: codec_mask = 0x3 May 18 22:32:50 gondor kernel: [ 6057.873098] ALSA /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1795: hda_codec: model 'clevo' is selected 2) If I compile 14rc4 with debug=none it can be compiled, modules can be inserted : - --> when inserted with # modprobe -v snd-hda-intel model=clevo I get in /var/log/messages : May 18 19:39:46 gondor kernel: [ 2366.086099] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 May 18 19:39:49 gondor kernel: [ 2368.491630] ALSA /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:558: hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode... and aplay gives : eric@gondor:/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4$ aplay ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:867:(snd_pcm_direct_initialize_slave) snd_pcm_hw_params_any failed ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:876:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to initialize slave aplay: main:550: Erreur d'ouverture audio: Argument invalide eric@gondor:/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4$ - --> when inserted with # modprobe -v snd-hda-intel model=clevo probe_mask=1 May 18 19:41:45 gondor kernel: [ 2484.283312] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 And it works !!!!

[alsa-devel] Linux 2.6.21 regression with hda-intel (Conexant 5045)
by Gunter Ohrner 18 May '07

18 May '07

Hi! First of all: Sorry if this question is dumb or a fix should be obvious, but as a non-ALSA_expert I'm a bit a a loss at the moment... I searched the bugtracker and this list but could not find anything appropriate - most probably I missed a relevant post or didn't recognize it as being relevant... Any pointers are greatly appreciated! The situation is as follows: Using Linux 2.6.20.4, my laptop's soundcard works just fine. Using 2.6.21.1, it also works, but the headphone socket is dead. Plugging a headphone into it correctly mustes the internal speakers, but no sound is output via the headphones. Details: - Fujitsu Simens Amilo Si1520 - Codec: Conexant ID 5045 (as reported by Linux 2.6.20.4) Alsa device details between both Linux kernels differ completely, with Linux 2.6.20.4 only reporting a single a single analog PCM device and Linux 2.6.21.1 reporting a Conexant Analog and a Conexant Digital device. Should I still post the complete information from /proc/asound/* for both kernels? I tried applying conexant-test22.patch by Tobin Davis, but it does not seem to match the in-kernel ALSA code. It also does not seem to be related to the 5045 chip... Any ideas? Greetings, Gunter

That's really good to hear. Can you close the Bug entry #2732 then? (#2799 and #2820 can be closed too, if the 9600 Hz problem is solved) So thanks a lot ...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there It's support for the SI3054 Chip build into the Asus A8J Notebook Series. In Windows it's called "Motorola SM56". What do you mean with "sign-off"? I'm pretty happy when it walks into upstream, so that the requests on my homepage about how to patch alsa to run that modem are ceasing down. Just a small issue is left. With the alsa driver buildin into 2.6.19 slmodem is working, with any newer one (either standalone or buildin driver) we have a "hda-intel: invalid format_val, rate=9600, ch=1, format=2" error in dmesg. Seems something has been broken on that step (probably 1.0.13 to 1.0.14?). Sadly I'm not able to tell right now which alsa was included into 2.6.19. I'm trying to compare the files to get an idea what's wrong (#2799 and #2820 are reporting similar problems).

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] Add support for gain in softvol plugin
by Steve Longerbeam 18 May '07

18 May '07

Hi all, What do you think of this patch? I tested this using a stac9205 HDA codec with all sample formats supported by softvol (s32, s16, s24, big and little endian). The potential drawback I see is that softvol now has to use a intermediate long long multiply and add when computing amplified 32-bit samples. This wasn't an issue with the system I tested on, but possibly could be on slower machines. Also, are their any portability issues with using a long long datatype in alsa-lib? What is the list of embedded architectures that alsa-lib is targeted to build on? I see long long used in many other places in alsa-lib, so I'm hoping this isn't an issue. Steve
