I have a Vibra controller on the codec which can be programmed using alsa controls. Now after configuration I added an enable control which when turned On, forces the Vibra Pin to be ON. The Pin is on, but not the path, I need the DAC and amplifier connected to be ON as well?
Is this not what the force_enable_pin() is supposed to do?
No, it's there to force a pin to be on when there's no audio path - the main use is for microphone biases, to ensure they're enabled in order to allow jack detection to work. The purpose is to ignore routing so it won't affect any other widgets.
If not how should I ensure this path and codec BIAS is on when Vibra is activated by user?
Your above scenario sounds like you're just doing a regular playback of some kind - if that is the case I'd expect things to power up when you start playing through the DAC.
No, its Vibra PWM controller no playback here
Otherwise I'd suggest creating an input widget, connecting it as an input to the DAC and then using regular enable_pin() to enable that and the output.
This sounds the way for me, let me try this
Thanks
