[alsa-devel] Problem with latest alsa-info.sh patch
by Travis Place 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

The latest patch to allow the uploading to alsa-project.org seems to work fine, for the most part, unless you want to use the --pastebin option for the legacy upload to pastebin.ca . It seems that the uploaded data gets truncated. Not sure if this is the script, or the pastebin having problems. Ill look into it a bit more when i have time (its 5:30am here, and i need sleep). Just thought id point this out. I realise the 'default' behaviour is to use alsa-project.org for uploading, but i feel the other pastebin.ca mode should still function(I personally get people to upload there first, and then 'submit' card details to alsa-project.org/db/ afterwards. Thanks, Travis Place (wishie)

Re: [alsa-devel] latest Mac Pro (quad core) audio issues

Hello Stan, This is awesome I did find the problem it's listed in the /var/log/messages under ALSA. 1. When I bring up the "Pulse Volume Control" gui, the first tab "Playback" comes up empty, and grayed-out is "No Streams Available" 2. aplay does not produce sound, period! 3. Amrok's welcome sample does not produce sound out of the std tower speaker or the headphone jack. I didn't notice anything strange on the output of the alsa-info.sh file, but when I checked the var/log/messages, this is what I found: sudo cat /var/log/messages | grep ALSA Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:1810: chipset global capabilities = 0x4401 Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:749: codec_mask = 0x1 Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Surround Playback Volume, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Center Playback Volume, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave LFE Playback Volume, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Side Playback Volume, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Headphone Playback Volume, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Speaker Playback Volume, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Mono Playback Volume, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Line-Out Playback Volume, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Surround Playback Switch, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Center Playback Switch, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave LFE Playback Switch, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Side Playback Switch, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Speaker Playback Switch, skipped Aug 11 07:52:10 macprolinx kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Mono Playback Switch, skipped Let me know if I should send something else. // Salvador // Northwestern University ----- Original Message ---- From: stan <ghjeold_i_mwee(a)cox.net> To: S.

How are you determining that there is no output? i.e. what program are you using, and how Try aplay -vv some.wav Try aplay -vv -Dhw:0,0 some.wav Try aplay -vv -Dplughw:0,0 some.wav Are there error messages or does it look like it is playing without sound? Are there messages in /var/log/messages regarding sound at boot or while trying to play. I don't use pulseaudio and don't know it very well, but there is more information here. http://www.pulseaudio.org Could you run a script which provides more information about your sound setup and post the link back here? The script is found at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh You can run the script so the results occur locally, by specifying the ---no-upload option. alsa-info.sh --no-upload You would then paste the output into your email instead of providing a link. This information will enable me to determine if your setup is OK, and look for other problems.

[alsa-devel] WM8750 utilization
by Harald Radke 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Hi there! Sorry, if this is the wrong list for this, just tell me if so (and maybe point out where to go instead *g*). I am trying to improve usage of the wm8750 codec on my Loox720 PDA. Its a PXA272 device. So far WM8750 driver works quite ok (via I2S), however there are some things that are kinda strange. The Loox720 has a headphone jack, a earpiece and a speaker. When driving LOUT1/ROUT1, sound goes via headphones, LOUT2/ROUT2 drives the earpiece. When setting OUT3 on ROUT1, the speaker plays fine. Strange: - when disabling either LOUT2 or ROUT2 (while the other is enabled), the speaker plays the sound (not sure if the earpiece still is active as speaker output is much louder, but I think so) - when disabling ROUT1/LOUT1 with LOUT2/ROUT2 active, the earpiece plays fine, however there is still some output on the headphone (really really silently) - Trying to utilize headphone switch via the WM8750 registers doesn't really work ): depending on the polarity bit either one of the OUTs is either not muted at all or activated at all. Any ideas or hints? Thanks a lot! Harald Radke

[alsa-devel] SPDIF audio / non-audio bit
by Ben Stanley 15 Aug '08

15 Aug '08

Dear alsa-devel, I recently advised this list of some problems I experienced with the SPDIF audio / non-audio bit being set inappropriately while using the ca0106 driver [1]. Seeing as I got no replies, I am trying again. When playing AC3 encoded streams (Dolby Digital, DTS), the SPDIF non-audio bit is set. Otherwise, for PCM streams, the SPDIF is set to audio. Could someone explain to me what part of the software is responsible for correctly setting the SPDIF audio / non-audio bit? Is it * alsa-driver * alsa-lib * application ? It seems to me that currently some applications (MythTV, xine) set it correctly, but most other applications ignore it. So if it is set to non-audio (because for example MythTV crashed before re-setting it to audio), then all applications that are not aware of the setting have their audio broken. Could someone set me straight here so that I can try to produce a permanent fix for this? Thanks, Ben Stanley. [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/54398/focus=55188

Bugtracker will not let me login, nor email an account confirmation. Getting an ALSA home page account seems to have no purpose at all, it does not let you do anything. BUG: When you try to compile driver for ens1371 by itself the compile will fail. The driver for ens1371 has an include of the file for ens1370, but the makefule does not have this dependency so the ens1370 file is missing. The dev team is probably always compiling for all.

If someone knows how to do this, please post a reply. Well, not to unduly annoy you, and thank you very much for the report and the persistence, but basically all Linux development happens on mailinglists and the mailinglist information is right there on the homepage so, well... The alsa-devel mailinglist is moderated for non-subscribers; if you did email alsa-devel before and just weren't let through the moderation queue then please say so because in that case we definitely have a problem to fix. Rene.
