[alsa-devel] [PATCH] Add quirk for Asus P5LD2
by Claudio Matsuoka 20 Jul '07

20 Jul '07

Another simple patch that adds a system to the ALC882 quirk table. Tested with a week-old HG version, buildsystem of the current alsa-driver seems to be broken.

[alsa-devel] a new synthesizer driver
by Steve Longerbeam 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi all, I'm embarking on a big task: writing a new synthesizer driver. My device has all the ingredients for a MIDI wavetable sythesizer: 64 voices, each voice with envelope, pitch, and LFO controls. Also global effects like reverb. It's similar to the emu10k1. So my first question would be, is the synth code under synth/emux/ general enough to use for a different synthesizer chip? Ie, can I implement my own operators in 'struct snd_emux_operators' and pass that to snd_emux_register() ? Would it be a simple matter to make synth/emux/ a generic synth layer, by moving all the source in synth/emux/ up one level to synth/, and then rename all functions and data structures starting with "snd_emux" to "snd_synth" ? For instance, snd_emux_operators becomes snd_synth_operators, snd_emux_control() becomes snd_synth_control(), etc. It seems this path is already partially completed, since synth/emux/soundfont.c is a generic soundfont loader. The thing I want to avoid doing is creating a synth/my_synth/ directory and duplicating lots of code from synth/emux/ (including just copying soundfont.c verbatim!). Steve

I re-uploaded the patch with the requested changes some time ago, and I was wondering if there is still something wrong with it. Thanks Nicola Fagnani

[alsa-devel] underrun observed when aplay is used with mmap
by Pharaoh . 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi , Finally I have got my driver working and now testing it using aplay. I am able to play a song without getting any underruns when I use read/write mode but when I use mmapped mode I get underrun warnings. After this if I use read/write mode again then I observe 1 warning of underrun. Any idea what could be wrong? I know why underruns occur etc. Does it have to do with mmapped mode? I dont think so... Here is the log. # aplay -Dplughw:0,0 --rate=44100 --format=s16 --channels=2 --mmap 44.wav Playing WAVE '44.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo underrun!!! (at least 0.384 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 0.118 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 0.124 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 0.117 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 0.121 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 0.128 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 0.116 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 0.121 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 0.121 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 0.125 ms long) ....... and it goes on till the song finishes. And after this I play without using mmap and log says.. # aplay -Dplughw:0,0 --rate=44100 --format=s16 --channels=2 44.wav Playing WAVE '44.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo underrun!!! (at least 516.424 ms long) and then the song plays without any underrun. -pharaoh.

[alsa-devel] PS3 - Surround sound on SPDIF set-up
by gt bradley 19 Jul '07

19 Jul '07

Hi, I've been beating my had against this for several weeks now. (started with fedora 6, tried adding in the plugings etc (version 1.0.12) -- also tried upgrading to the current 1.0.14 version, without success (couldn't produce surround-sound on teh spdif output). I have now switched to fedorea 7 and was able to have rythmbox play surround sound via spdif, but have since lost that ability. (but I'm convinced the hardware and low-level drivers support it). In order to limit the number of moving parts, I have reduced to just trying to get speaker-test to play on all 6 speakers. from pirut & I have alsa-lib 1.0.14-0.4.rc3.fc7.ppc(64) and alsa-utils 1.0.14-0.7.rc2.fc7.ppc The default install has no asound.conf file. (attempts to create a "better" one didn't improve the situation). I do not see a file matching the ps3 device in etc/alsa/cards nor etc/alsa/pcm, but I have not found any documentation on adding entries to the above directories. [root@ps3 pcm0p]# cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/info card: 0 device: 0 subdevice: 0 stream: PLAYBACK id: SPDIF name: SPDIF subname: subdevice #0 class: 0 subclass: 0 subdevices_count: 1 subdevices_avail: 1 [root@ps3 ~]# aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PS3 [PS3], device 0: SPDIF [SPDIF] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [root@ps3 ~]# aplay -L null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) [root@ps3 ~]# amixer [root@ps3 ~]# amixer scontrols [root@ps3 ~]# speaker-test -c 6 speaker-test 1.0.14rc2 Playback device is default Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_BE, 6 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 4096 to 8192 Period size range from 256 to 256 Using max buffer size 8192 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 256 was set buffer_size = 8192 0 - Front Left 4 - Center 1 - Front Right 3 - Rear Right 2 - Rear Left 5 - LFE Time per period = 17.821324 * above test only produces sound on channels 0 & 1. xmms produces no sound and emits the following: ** WARNING **: alsa_setup_mixer(): Failed to find mixer element: PCM Is it possible to get some help/pointers in the right direction? thanks GT* *

Re: [alsa-devel] ALSA driver for RealTek ALC268 chip

Even the alpha/test version? Firstly, please submit queries like this to the ALSA development list. While I'm not fussed, other developers may not respond to emails sent only to their private addresses. It also means you don't have to guess who would be the most appropriate person to ask. Consequently I have added alsa-devel to the CC of this email. It would probably not take a lot of effort to add support for the ALC268 chip given that the ALC260 and ALC262 are supported. Furthermore, it seems that some work has already gone into this - see for example https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3104 So I would say that ALC268 support is being worked on. Pshou can probably give more details or provide further assistance. Note that my involvement in the ALSA RealTek driver was limited to the extended ALC260 support I added to take full advantage of this chip in my laptop. I don't have access to machines with other Realtek chips in them and so I'm not in the best position to provide direct assistance for other chips. Regards jonathan

[alsa-devel] Cirrus Logic CS4270 support coming soon
by Timur Tabi 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know that I will soon be submitting an ASoC driver for the Cirrus Logic CS4270 codec. I have the driver working in-house on an older version of ALSA. As soon as I finish work on my current project, I will clean up the driver, update to the latest code, and submit it. If anyone is using this codec on their hardware, please let me know. The CS4270 supports many different configurations, but my board only enables some of them.

[alsa-devel] substream->private_data == NULL in hw_params
by Florian Demski 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi there, after many reboots I finally fixed an error in a driver but I am not sure if there ain't an underlying problem which causes this error. The initialization is done with struct snd_pcm *pcm; int err; if((err = snd_pcm_new(chip->pod->line6.card, (char *)chip->pod->line6.devname, 0, 1, 1, &pcm)) < 0) return err; pcm->private_data = chip; pcm->private_free = pod_cleanup_pcm; chip->pcm = pcm; However in hw_param, substream->private_data is NULL and I have to get the right value with this construct: static int snd_pod_capture_hw_params(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream, struct snd_pcm_hw_params *hw_params) { int ret; struct snd_pod_pcm *chip = snd_pcm_substream_chip(substream); /* -- Florian Demski [FD] */ /* don't ask me why, but this fixes the bug on my machine */ if ( chip == NULL ) { if ( substream->pcm == NULL ) return -ENOMEM; if ( substream->pcm->private_data == NULL ) return -ENOMEM; substream->private_data = substream->pcm->private_data; chip = snd_pcm_substream_chip( substream ); } /* -- [FD] end */ Somehow only my machine produces this error, I tried switching off SMP and PREEMPT, but with no other result. Or is this possibly an (undocumented) feature in alsa? I'd be happy if actually some of you experienced guys might take a look at that driver: SVN https://line6linux.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/line6linux/driver/trunk Browse https://line6linux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/line6linux/driver/trunk/ Thanks in advance, Florian
