[alsa-devel] Intel ICH Modem init fails for laptop built-in SiS modem
by Richard Kennedy 03 Feb '08

03 Feb '08

My JVC mininote laptop has an inbuilt SiS modem 00:01.6 Modem [0703]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Modem Controller [1039:7013] (rev a0) which is detected by the snd-intel8x0m driver but it always fails to initialise and spams the log file :- kernel: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x1300] kernel:last message repeated 2 times kernel: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x300] kernel:last message repeated 431 times kernel: AC'97 1 does not respond - RESET kernel: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x300] kernel: codec_semaphore: semaphore is not ready [0x1][0x300] kernel: AC'97 1 access is not valid [0xffffffff], removing mixer. kernel: Unable to initialize codec #1 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:01.6 disabled kernel: Intel ICH Modem: probe of 0000:00:01.6 failed with error -5 I never use the modem so I blacklisted the snd-intel8x0m module in modprobe.conf just to make the messages go away. I'm currently running the fedora 2.6.23 kernel but it has been broken for a long time. Is this fixable? or shall I just go on ignoring it ;) ? cheers Richard

[alsa-devel] HDA - enable snoop on SCH
by Tobin Davis 03 Feb '08

03 Feb '08

This patch enables snoop on Intel SCH chipset, eliminating static during playback. Signed off by Tobin Davis <tdavis(a)dsl-only.net> P.S. I know this is real close to the final release, but it is critically needed for product enabling. The patch has no effect on other components, and has been tested on production desktop and laptop systems, along with Intel's Mobile Internet Device. This is the last patch needed for release. P.P.S Forgot to include the patch in the last email. Doh.

There is already a --no-upload option, which saves the output to /tmp/alsa-info.txt but doesnt upload it. Is that sufficient ? -- Happiness is like peeing your pants.

[alsa-devel] underruns and strange code in pcm_rate.c (and patch)
by Stas Sergeev 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hi. I spent 4 week-ends debugging the constant underruns and lock-ups with the libao-based programs. Now I've finally tracked the problem to some strange code in pcm_rate.c, namely snd_pcm_rate_poll_descriptors(). I am not sure what was the reason behind altering the "avail_min" every time. Looks like some heuristic was intended, say "see what amount of fragment part was written now, and make sure that amount of free space will be available next time, after poll". Whatever, this code gives underruns. It can increase avail_min by almost period_size. libao sets avail_min==period_size, so we can end up with avail_min==period_size*2. libao sets buffer_size==stop_threshold==period_size*2. So we end up with avail_min~=stop_threshold, which gives underruns. Since I don't know how this code was indended to work, I just removed it, and everything works perfectly now (also had to patch libao to check the returned rate). The patch is attached, any comments?

It blew me away too.

What they were looking for was output from alsactl. Take a look at what it generates. Use the -f <filename> path to save a temporary file that can be appended to alsa-info.txt.
