[alsa-devel] HDA Intel SigmaTel STAC9228 in Dell Vostro 1400 defines different pin nids
by Ivan N. Zlatev 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hello, I've bought a new laptop Dell Vostro 1400 with the following audio card: 00:1b.0 Audio device [Class 0403]: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:284b] (rev 02) and with the SigmaTel Codec: Codec: SigmaTel STAC9228 Address: 0 Vendor Id: 0x83847616 Subsystem Id: 0x10280227 Revision Id: 0x100201 I was able to get sound to come out of the internal speakers by explicitly specifying either the 3stack or the dell-3stack models with alsa 1.0.14 . Unfortunately with neither of those does the internal microphone work. Now I am running ALSA HG and have decided to try and fix my problem by adding the proper pinconfig for my card (this is what I've done before for my Mac and it worked). I downloaded the win32 drivers which include all pinconfigs for all Dell machines with intel hda cards. The problem I am facing is that the win32 driver .ini provides a configuration for 13 pins which do not match the ones in patch_sigmatel.c . The ones in ALSA are: static hda_nid_t stac922x_pin_nids[10] = { 0x0a, 0x0b, 0x0c, 0x0d, 0x0e, 0x0f, 0x10, 0x11, 0x15, 0x1b, }; Where as the ones defined by the driver are [1]: 0x0a, 0x0b, 0x0c, 0x0d, 0x0e, 0x0f, 0x10, 0x11, 0x12, 0x13, 0x14, 0x21, 0x22 So I am wondering how should I approach this? I have attached my codec info and mixer output without the model to be specified.

[alsa-devel] [PATCH] cmipci - allow capture of raw spdif subframes
by Timofei V. Bondarenko 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi. Enable capturing of raw 32bit IEC958_SUBFRAME. The 24-bits PCM data can be obtained using iec958 plugin. Known problem: captured stream may begin with either left or right subframe. Since the iec958 plugin doesn't decode preamble it may swap the channels sometime. Regards, Tim.

[alsa-devel] patch for Dell 1210 which using stac9221 codec
by zhejiang 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi, Dell 1210 have three jacks on the front. Two of them serve as output jack and one serve as microphone. The microphone can be switched to output model too. There are some problems with current dell 1210 driver: 1.Unable to use the front microphone 2.Unable to switch the microphone 3.If plug the left hp,another hp will be muted,so it's impossible to work as 6-channel According to the issue 0003427 on alsa-bugzilla, I wrote a patch and the reporter helped me to test it on his machine. It can support the front microphone. When switch the microphone to output model, it can mute/unmute the internal speaker with jack-sensing. diff -Nur a/alsa-driver-hg20071017/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c b/alsa-driver-hg20071017/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c --- a/alsa-driver-hg20071017/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c 2007-10-17 08:00:08.000000000 +0800 +++ b/alsa-driver-hg20071017/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c 2007-10-17 17:07:27.000000000 +0800 @@ -171,6 +171,10 @@ 0x02, }; +static hda_nid_t dell_m82_1210_dac_nids[3] = { + 0x02, 0x05, 0x03, +}; + static hda_nid_t stac925x_adc_nids[1] = { 0x03, }; @@ -874,10 +878,10 @@ 102801D7 (Dell XPS M1210) */ static unsigned int dell_922x_m82_pin_configs[10] = { - 0x0221121f, 0x408103ff, 0x02111212, 0x90100310, - 0x408003f1, 0x02111211, 0x03451340, 0x40c003f2, + 0x02211211, 0x408103ff, 0x02a1123e, 0x90100310, + 0x408003f1, 0x0221121f, 0x03451340, 0x40c003f2, 0x508003f3, 0x405003f4, -}; +}; static unsigned int d945gtp3_pin_configs[10] = { 0x0221401f, 0x01a19022, 0x01813021, 0x01014010, @@ -1512,6 +1516,15 @@ AC_VERB_SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL, pin_type); } +static void enable_pin_detect(struct hda_codec *codec, hda_nid_t nid, + unsigned int event) +{ + if (get_wcaps(codec, nid) & AC_WCAP_UNSOL_CAP) + snd_hda_codec_write_cache(codec, nid, 0, + AC_VERB_SET_UNSOLICITED_ENABLE, + (AC_USRSP_EN | event)); +} + #define stac92xx_io_switch_info snd_ctl_boolean_mono_info static int stac92xx_io_switch_get(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol, struct snd_ctl_elem_value *ucontrol) @@ -1542,6 +1555,18 @@ pinctl |= stac92xx_get_vref(codec, nid); stac92xx_auto_set_pinctl(codec, nid, pinctl); } + + if (spec->board_config == STAC_922X_DELL_M82) { + if (val) { + /*If front mic serves as output,let it mute the internal speaker*/ + spec->autocfg.hp_outs = 3; + spec->autocfg.hp_pins[2] = 0x0c; + enable_pin_detect(codec, 0x0c, STAC_HP_EVENT); + } else { + spec->autocfg.hp_outs = 2; + } + codec->patch_ops.unsol_event(codec, STAC_HP_EVENT << 26); + } return 1; } @@ -1811,9 +1836,15 @@ struct sigmatel_spec *spec = codec->spec; unsigned int wid_caps; + int max_controls; + if (spec->board_config == STAC_922X_DELL_M82) { + max_controls = spec->multiout.num_dacs; + } else { + max_controls = cfg->line_outs; + } - for (i = 0; i < cfg->line_outs; i++) { + for (i = 0; i < max_controls; i++) { if (!spec->multiout.dac_nids[i]) continue; @@ -2268,15 +2299,6 @@ AC_VERB_SET_GPIO_DATA, gpiostate); } -static void enable_pin_detect(struct hda_codec *codec, hda_nid_t nid, - unsigned int event) -{ - if (get_wcaps(codec, nid) & AC_WCAP_UNSOL_CAP) - snd_hda_codec_write_cache(codec, nid, 0, - AC_VERB_SET_UNSOLICITED_ENABLE, - (AC_USRSP_EN | event)); -} - static int stac92xx_init(struct hda_codec *codec) { struct sigmatel_spec *spec = codec->spec; @@ -2677,6 +2699,11 @@ spec->multiout.dac_nids = spec->dac_nids; + if (spec->board_config == STAC_922X_DELL_M82) { + spec->multiout.num_dacs = 3; + spec->multiout.dac_nids = dell_m82_1210_dac_nids; + } + err = stac92xx_parse_auto_config(codec, 0x08, 0x09); if (!err) { if (spec->board_config < 0) { @@ -2687,6 +2714,14 @@ } err = -EINVAL; } + + if ((err >= 0) && (spec->board_config == STAC_922X_DELL_M82)) { + err = stac92xx_add_control(spec, STAC_CTL_WIDGET_IO_SWITCH, "Front Mic as Output Switch", (spec->autocfg.input_pins[AUTO_PIN_FRONT_MIC] << 8) | 1); + /*In case that add_controls realloc the spec->kctl_alloc*/ + if ((err >= 0) && (spec->kctl_alloc != spec->mixers[spec->num_mixers - 1])) + spec->mixers[spec->num_mixers - 1] = spec->kctl_alloc; + } + if (err < 0) { stac92xx_free(codec); return err;

[alsa-devel] hardware-dependent features
by Daniel Mack 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi, some of the devices the caiaq driver supports have special hardware features such as switchable ground lift, input impedance selection or other, hardware-specific features. On both Windows and MacOSX there are special tools to set those features but the ALSA driver still lacks support for them which I want to change soon. However, I couldn't find a generic way to do that. I was thinking about a sysfs entry which is attached to the sound card instance but didn't find a driver which did similar things. Also, I'd like to support the LEDs and displays on the devices and was wondering which interface to choose for that. I've got a patch ready which uses the generic led subsystem, but that approach seems to be a bit ugly as I end up having one entry per led on each device in one single folder. Any idea of a better way? Thanks, Daniel

Re: [alsa-devel] No sound from usb on Motorola C350 cellphone
by Giovanni Maruzzelli 13 Nov '07

With an old copy of motorola driver, the usb sound device was recognized by windows XP, with mixer elements only for the playback. I was not able to record from it, playing give no errors, but no sound either With the last copy of driver from motorola developer devsite, on XP a whole new "Motorola Device" is created, with the audio interface listed on it in the usb control panel, but no audio device is available for normal usage.

[alsa-devel] No sound from usb on Motorola C350 cellphone
by Giovanni Maruzzelli 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hi list participants, I am using cellphones connected to soundcards as cheap gsm gateways (more complex than that, actually. You can see the whole GPL project at www.celliax.org). Maybe there is a way to not using soundcards, that would be *so* much better: I found that Motorola c350 phones after receiving an AT+MODE=8 command via USB, make available an usb sound device. That would be wonderful (less cables, more robustness, etc). Problem is: the usb sound device do not plays or captures samples. I suspect that the usb audio has to be activated, maybe by an AT or a P2K command. Or that a quirk has to be added to the alsa driver (snd_usb_audio). Do you know anything about (maybe the quirk to be added to ALSA driver...)? Do you have any hint? I'm available to do all the research-testing-debugging that may be useful. What happens is as follow: 1) attach the c350 to usb 2) is recognized as acm0 3) send at+mode=8 to c350 (via minicom, for eg) 4) it changes its usbid, disconnect from usb, reconnect, is recognized as acm1, makes available a sound device 5) at commands work on the new acm1 6) trying to use the audio device directly (eg aplay -Dhw:1) do not give errors on play (but no sound is head on the phone), gives error pcm_read 1349 on record (eg arecord -Dhw:1) 7) trying to use the audiodevice through alsalib does not gives errors at all (eg -Dplughw:1) but does not caputeres samples, and no sound is heard on the phone I'm attaching: lusb_without -> result of lusb -vv with no device attached lsusb_with_ACM0 -> result of lusb -vv with c350 just attached, recognized as acm modem lsusb_with_ACM1 -> result of lusb -vv with c350 after sending at+mode=8 to him, he has disconnected and was recognized again, this time as ACM1, with a lot of additional usb interfaces dmesg-acm0 -> result of dmesg after first c350 attachment dmesg-acm1 -> result of dmesg after at+mode=8 was sent to the c350 aplay-l -> result of aplay -l showing the c350 as an alsa device stream0_pstop_cstop -> result of cat /proc/asound/C350/stream0 while not active stream0_pstop_crun -> result of cat /proc/asound/C350/stream0 while arecord -vv -Dplughw:1 -fS16_LE ciapa.raw (if using -Dhw:1 it fails with error: "pcm_read:1349: read error: Input/output error"). arecord does not gives errors, but do not write samples stream0_prun_crun -> result of cat /proc/asound/C350/stream0 while aplay and arecord -vv -Dplughw:1 -fS16_LE ciapa.raw (if using -Dhw:1 arecord fails with error: "pcm_read:1349: read error: Input/output error", aplay works but no audio) arecord does not gives errors, but do not write samples aplay_play -> results of aplay arecord_rec -> results of arecord Thank you all in advance, Giovanni Maruzzelli

[alsa-devel] Non standard sound card
by Ning Zhang 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hi Dear, I am a fresh man in this community. Now I plan to develope a sound driver for my embedded platform. The problem is that my audio chip is a DSP ,not a standard codec chip. The MCU communicates with this DSP via a shared ram. So at first , I have to make the DSP as a platform_device and use the platform_driver_register() to register the DSP , right? Then I can use alsa driver API to develop the sound card. Is my understanding right? Thanks. Where can I find some information about ALSA architecture? David.

[alsa-devel] I could maybe help for Creative Labs SB X-Fi integration
by Frederic Bouy 10 Nov '07

10 Nov '07

Hello everybody, I have just installed a distribution of Ubuntu (7.10 Gutsy Gibbon) on my computer. The issue is that my sound card is not working. According to your website, this is because my SB X-Fi is not yet supported by ALSA : "Card delivered to developers. Completely new architecture. Creative actively preventing support due to no datasheets being released to ALSA developers. Reverse engineering work not started due to lack of time." I would like to know if there is a way for me to help you integrating this sound card. What can I do to help? Thanks. Frédéric
