[alsa-devel] External Sound Card
by John Dey 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

I am looking for a external sound card that has spdif (7.1) functioning. The driver Soundblaster nx usb seems like it is under active development. The alsa documentation page says that spdif is not working. Is the documentation page out of date or is someone working on that capability? If spdif capability is not in the near future, can someone suggest a sound device (spdif capable) that I could look at. Thanks. John

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] SB Live24-External better handling
by Timofei V. Bondarenko 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Hi. This patch improves support for 'SB Live 24-bit Extarnal' USB card. 1) This card can go into muted state when a headphones connected or disconnected. So notify mixer about changes in headphone jack. 2) Add LED controls and procfs support just as in similar Audigy 2 NX card. 3) Rename 'PCM Capture' conrol to 'Mic Capture' to reflect reality: the card may adjust microphone input level only. Regards. Tim.

Hi, JFYI, together with OPL3 hwdep loader, $SUBJECT is done as I mentioned earlier. This resulted in removal of 5600 LOC in alsa-kernel tree. Yeah, a good number. Takashi

[alsa-devel] cmipci CM_FLINKOFF disables multinchannel playback
by Timofei V. Bondarenko 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Hi. I found the latest cmipci driver cannot playback in multichannel mode anymore. My hardware is 'CMI8738 model 55' attempting to play 2 or 4 channels through the 2nd DAC i get no sound at all. 6 ch produces sound only at center/bass while front and rear still mute. I found the root of problem in redefinition of some bits of the CM_REG_MISC_CTRL (0x18) register. Was: CM_FLINKON=0x40, CM_FLINKOFF=0x20 Now it is: CM_FLINKON=0x80 CM_FLINKOFF=0x40 Note the CM_FLINKOFF does collide with the CM_MUTECH1=0x40 bit. This bit disables playback on 2nd DAC. The CM_FLINKOFF/CM_FLINKON bits used in the 'Modem' mixer control only. During startup the mixer turns the modem off somewhere and this disables 2nd DAC as well. Complete removal of this 'Modem' control fixes the problem. Is it an acceptable solution? I guess the snd_cmipci_control_switches could be removed too. Regards.

[alsa-devel] PATCH: ln2440sbc ac97 support

Hello, This patch adds ac97 support for ln2440sbc board from LittleChips. This board is based on s3c2440 SoC + AC97 Realtek ALC650 codec. Existing s3c2443 implementation is slightly modified because s3c2440 and s3c2443 have different AC97 interrupts.

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] Fix for assertion in pulse plugin when calling hw_params on a prepared stream
by Sean McNamara 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Hello, I have opened a bug and recently submitted a patch for it on bugtrack: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3470 All the details are there. But here is a 5-minute summary for you: --The Problem-- (1) All plugins implementing the PCM interface, that I've tested so far, allow calling snd_*_hw_params on a stream when snd_*_state returns SND_PCM_STATE_PREPARED. (2) Applications have used this fact to their advantage, and sometimes employ lazy initialization of the hw params (initialize it once, get to another path in code, oh no wait! we need to initialize them differently...) (3) Per the spec, calling snd_*_hw_params also makes the stream PREPARED, so calling snd_*_hw_params on a stream that has _either_ been explicitly prepared, _or_ had its hw_params previously set, will trigger this problem. (4) The ALSA<->PulseAudio plugin is an exception to (1) above; i.e., it triggers an assertion when exercising this functionality, as if to say, "I can't do that!" (5) Indeed, the PulseAudio client API forbids re-initialization of the parameters in question on a PulseAudio stream, after instantiation. --The Solution-- Only perform the assertion if snd_pcm_state(io->pcm) != SND_PCM_STATE_PREPARED. The assertion is still useful for cases where the stream is mysteriously non-NULL and the stream has not already been prepared; I can't think of a valid case where: (1) The state is not SND_PCM_STATE_PREPARED, and (2) The underlying PulseAudio stream (pcm->stream) is non-NULL, and (3) snd_pcm_hw_params would be expected to do anything meaningful or correct. For this reason, I kept the assertion in, rather than just removing it (which by itself "fixes" the problem with alsaplayer and my test case, which is submitted with the patch.) --Why It Works-- (1) This assertion might be a throwback from before ioplug was so smart; but apparently, ioplug will now call pulse_prepare, which reinitializes the underlying pulseaudio stream, after pulse_hw_params. (2) There is nothing in pulse_hw_params that actually requires any particular state out of pcm->stream. The underlying pulse stream is simply not used in this call. (3) ioplug catches the fact that the hw_params have been changed, and calls back to pulse_prepare to handle the underlying stream teardown and reinitialization (which pulse_prepare does correctly). --Impact-- (1) At least one open source application, alsaplayer, can now play through the ALSA<->PulseAudio plugin, where it could never do so before. (2) The ALSA<->PulseAudio plugin is now more tightly compatible with the other alsa-lib and alsa-plugin backends (dmix, hw, asym, oss, jack, ...) (3) Older versions of sox might have also suffered from this bug, according to information here: http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/120 (although the Ubuntu 7.10 version of sox does not exhibit this behavior). --Notes-- (1) I submitted a first-attempt patch that fixed the problem, but it was inefficient: it needlessly called pulse_prepare _prior_ to the main pulse_hw_params function body. This was a result of my lack of understanding of how ioplug was actually saving me from disaster in the background. Be sure to grab 2_pcm_pulse.c.patch rather than pcm_pulse.c.patch. (2) I tested both positive and negative cases; the ALSA<->PulseAudio plugin works with applications that hit the modified code, as well as applications that don't. I've tested both branches of the conditional I added. Thanks, Sean

[alsa-devel] snd-hdsp in 2.6.22 crashes badly
by ilya .d 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Hello. i'm using RME Hammerfall HDSP9632.. it worked fine with 2.6.17 and 2.6.20 (-gentoo), i don't think gentoo team modifies alsa tree .. as soon as i upgraded to 2.6.22[-gentoo-r8], it booted fine, but when i started gnome-settigs-daemon, kernell generated OOPS, and i couldn't inload the module with modprobe. i disabled gnome-settings-daemon, and reboot. i managed to use hdspconf , hdspmixer + a couple of applications (puredata and snd editor), it was all good. as soon as i ran alsamixer (well , normaly you don't need it for snd-hdsp, but i wanted to configure my second soundcard, which is SB_live, but forgot to give it '-c 1') - so here the same crash heppends. i tried 2.6.20 back - and all absolutely fine with it. looking at hdsp.c in both kernels i spoted quite a few changes , however i don't know much about it ;[ so i attached the details below. -- cheers, ilya .d
