Well, if jack detection (get pin sense) works, there is.
Does it react if we turn off the HDMI output via xrandr, too? I'm not sure whether we need reprogram things in that case, though...
xrandr correctly reports that "HDMI-0" is disconnected.
I'm not sure how to turn the HDMI output via xrandr, but I tried "xrandr --output HDMI-0 --off" and it made no difference in either xrandr output, nor in codec/eld output.
What I'm thinking is that it could be that the monitor_present is indicating the presence of my DVI monitor, as some cards are capable of outputting HDMI audio on their DVI outputs (through a passive DVI-
HDMI
adapter). This is just a guess though.
I'm not that familiar with the audio side, but on there are registers on the
gpu side that will change what is reported to the audio side as far as I can tell. You might try the new hdmi patches I sent out today:
September/068544.html
patch 5/5 is probably the most relevant for this discussion. It explicitly
clears the audio enable bit when the display is disabled which should cascade down to the audio side if I understand correctly. If not, I think playing with the AZ_HOT_PLUG_CONTROL registers in that patch set can probably sort it out.
Thanks for the attention and the patches!
I compiled a 3.17-rc4 kernel plus the five patches. (I usually run the Ubuntu 3.13 kernel).
I've pushed an updated set to: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/log/?h=drm-next-3.18-wip
Thanks, will try this later. In this case, would you expect me to take the entire kernel from the drm-next-3.18-wip branch, or mix it somehow with a 3.17 kernel?
With this I saw that the jack reported "unplugged" when booting without an HDMI monitor, and that when the HDMI monitor was connected and got video output, the jack was now reported to be plugged in. However, when I unplugged the monitor, the jack was still reported to be plugged in.
Did you also run xrandr --output <output> --off?
Not that exact command, but I tried "Detect displays" (in the system settings dialog) to see if that helped. Also xrandr showed the HDMI-0 display as disconnected.
The audio pins are not tied to a specific output (e.g., there can be multiple HDMI or DP ports on a system), so they are not directly tied to a hotplug pin. I think the gpu driver has to set the appropriate bits in this register to have the changes reflected in the audio driver.
In my case, I have one HDMI, one VGA and one DVI. But there is only one pin on the audio side. So the question here is whether the DVI output is audio capable, and if that could possibly cause confusion here, or if one would expect the pin to always map to the HDMI output?
I also tried running a get_pin_sense verb manually and it still reported to be plugged in.
Also, I think it was the third time I plugged the monitor in, I got some type of GPU hang (see attached log). It never recovered by itself so I had to use SysRq to reboot the computer.
I'm just not familiar enough with the azalia hw to know exactly how it's
supposed to interact with the audio side.
Well, feel free to ask questions if you think we can answer them :-)
The bits that say PIN*_JACK_DETECTION_ENABLE and PIN*_UNSOLICITED_RESPONSE_ENABLE sounds like things that should be turned on all the time so we can properly get unsol jack detection events when the monitor is plugged or unplugged. Unless the PIN*_JACK_DETECTION_ENABLE actually represents the current state rather than the detection capability. But that's just guesses, as I assume the specs are not released?
I'm not familiar enough with the audio side, but here is some information about the bits in that register.
Thanks!
Hopefully someone more familiar with the audio side can help out.
PIN*_JACK_DETECTION_ENABLE If PIN0_JACK_DETECTION_ENABLE is 1, changing PIN0_AUDIO_ENABLED will produce jack connection and disconnection status changes in pin0 accordingly.
POSSIBLE VALUES: 00 - setting PIN0_AUDIO_ENABLED does not set pin0 PRESENCE_DETECT 01 - setting PIN0_AUDIO_ENABLED sets pin0 PRESENCE_DETECT
Ok, we definitely need this enabled.
PIN*_UNSOLICITED_RESPONSE_ENABLE
For PIN0, If 1, when AUDIO_ENABLED changes, an unsolicited response with payload UNSOLICITED_RESPONSE_PAYLOAD will be sent. POSSIBLE VALUES: 00 - changing AUDIO_ENABLED does not produce an unsolicited response 01 - changing AUDIO_ENABLED produces an unsolicited response
Ok, we need this enabled too.
Note: to make sure both plug and unplug events are delivered, these two should probably remain enabled even when the monitor is disconnected. There is a risk that setting these to zero when also setting AUDIO_ENABLED to zero could cause either event not to trigger on the audio side.
CODEC_HOT_PLUG_ENABLE If 1, changing AUDIO_ENABLED sets STATE_CHANGE_STATUS.
POSSIBLE VALUES: 00 - changing AUDIO_ENABLED does not set STATE_CHANGE_STATUS 01 - changing AUDIO_ENABLED sets STATE_CHANGE_STATUS
This probably refer to audio controller register STATESTS, because that's the only thing labelled "State change status" in the HDA spec. I think this should be enabled too, but it's possible that it's only relevant if the audio device is in a power down state.
PIN*_AUDIO_ENABLED Set to 1 by the driver if an HDMI TV able to take channel pair 0,1 for PIN0 (or 2,3 for PIN1, etc.) is connected, set to 0 if not.
POSSIBLE VALUES: 00 - disabled 01 - enabled
AUDIO_ENABLED Set to 1 by the driver when an Audio Enabled HDMI TV is connected, set to 0 when it is disconnected. Zeroed by the driver during mode change to disable audio temporarily in order to avoid noise. The software changes on this bit are used by the CODEC hardware to emulate hot plugging-unplugging of the audio-enabled HDMI TV.
POSSIBLE VALUES: 00 - disabled 01 - enabled
If audio_enabled quickly changes to off and then on when there is a mode change, it might make sense to *not* wake up the audio driver in this case, as I assume that the audio capabilities on the HDMI TV will not change just because the video mode changes.
To sum up, what the audio driver needs is PRESENCE_DETECT to correctly correspond to whether something is plugged in or not. And we need an unsolicited event when PRESENCE_DETECT changes.
