[alsa-devel] alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write!
by Konrad Schlichtherle 14 Jan '10

Hello, sometimes it occure that my speakers do not play sound although the speakers should play music with VLC. Then i took a look at /var/log/messages and found this: Jan 13 17:01:39 riker pulseaudio[3335]: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! Jan 13 17:01:39 riker pulseaudio[3335]: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. Jan 13 17:01:39 riker pulseaudio[3335]: alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail. The output of utils_alsa-info.sh is there: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1767e9bc745724a67c908549d20c137375d0605e I didn't know wether this is a bug or a misconfiguration of my openSUSE 11.2 Konrad

Sorry to confuse you, I was talking about the platform specific ASoC-McBSP code for OMAP (file - sound/soc/omap/omap-mcbsp.c) platform. The McBSP driver - both platform and machine specific - doesn't use the functions exported by the patch. Including alsa-devel list too... > > > - Paul

[alsa-devel] Newbie question: Sending untimed MIDI data to ALSA seq
by Josh Lehan 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hello. Newbie question: I'm wondering about sending untimed MIDI data to the ALSA sequencer subsystem. The application would be for a "beep"-like program, from the command line, that instead of making beeps, would play MIDI instruments to make better-sounding beeps. I have TiMidity hooked up into ALSA, as a softsynth, and it works just fine for playing MIDI data sent to it by ALSA. The "aplaymidi" command works for .MID files, and the "vkeybd" program works for simulating a keyboard and sending in untimed MIDI data. The "aseqview" program also works great for watching the notes being played, as they go by. So, my MIDI software stack appears to be in order. I don't have a hardware synthesizer hooked up at the moment (my Kawai K1 is showing its age, and a few keys are broken). I also looked at "amidi", which features a -S option to send in untimed MIDI bytes, but unfortunately, that addresses an entirely different namespace. Evidently, it only speaks to "RawMIDI" devices, of which TiMidity is not. So, I can't generate untimed MIDI data on my own. I was thinking of writing a small "midibeep" program that would do this, similar to what vkeybd does, but without requiring any user interaction. Does such a program already exist? Thanks! Josh

[alsa-devel] Mic Boost control problem with snd-hda-intel codec AL662 rev 1
by Anisse Astier 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hi, The Mic Boost control on a laptop seems to behave incorrectly. The control has the flag "volume" instead of "cvolume", causing it to appear in both the "Playback" and "Capture" tabs of alsamixer. This wouldn't be a problem if it would just work in the Capture tab: it doesn't. When I modify it in Capture, it doesn't retain its value: it's gone after i close alsamixer. But if i modify it in "Playback" it will retain its value and the value will be mirrored by the Mic Boost in Capture (both Mic Boost seem to reflect the same control, except one is RO, the other is RW). It's a minor a annoyance, but I'd like to fix it and have "Mic Boost" appear only as a Capture control and retaining its value. Maybe I should create a new mixer configuration for this hardware in patch_realtek.c, but I don't know where to start. Bios autoprobing works for everything but just what I mentioned. My alsa-info.sh : http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fc17b509e532fc366eb2d5fe5ec9e6730c96c837 Any ideas? Where should I start? Regards, Anisse

[alsa-devel] ALSA DMIX support without MMAP ?
by ANISH KUMAR 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hi, I am working on android and and in our device we use ALSA. I have enabled dmix support for andoid as by default android doesn't have this plugin enabled and soon will post it in android forum however i have run into some problems.Hoping takashi can help me out on this. Problem is when i am trying to use dmix plugin i am not getting any sound (logs shown below).Is it because i don't have mmap mode support on my device??? If yes then can't dmix work without mmap mode??? Logs shown below: Entered s3c24xx_pcm_hw_params, Entered s3c24xx_pcm_hw_params, line 330 Entered s3c24xx_pcm_mmap Entered s3c24xx_pcm_prepare Entered s3c24xx_pcm_enqueue Entered s3c24xx_pcm_trigger Entered s3c24xx_pcm_pointer Entered s3c24xx_pcm_pointer res_value[0] snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr_pos xun: [0]occured XRUN! Normal playback and recording is fine if i dont use dmix plugin.During my normal playback and recording i don't use mmap as i preallocate DMA memory and use them. Regards, anish

I also tried enable_msi=0 to make it use IO-APIC interrupt. Then this error is not displayed, sound works, but again no interrupts are generated at least count is not growing in /proc/interrupts. Please tell me what else I can try and what debugging info you need. Thanks, Tvrtko
