In order to use the external mic we need to switch DMIC_ENA off.
When you say external mic do you mean an analogue mic connected to the INxy pins on the chip?
I know when DMIC is not used at all, the codec driver does snd_soc_dapm_nc_pin(dapm, "DMICDAT"); but I'm not sure how I'd create a control based on that.
snd_soc_dapm_nc_pin should be called on DMICDAT if the GPIOs are not configured for use of a DMIC. And if called DMIC_ENA should never be set by the driver, since it can't be used as the pins are not configured to operate as DMICs.
I'm not yet looking into detection - only making it work when selected manually, via ucm. Although I need detection too later.
While this works when I set the control in ucm, AFAIK the way I do it here is not correct though due to dapm.
I guess this conflicts with the widget: SND_SOC_DAPM_AIF_IN("DMIC_ENA", NULL, 0, WM8962_PWR_MGMT_1, 10, 0),
Do you have any advice for me on how to do what I want?
Yes the DMIC enable should be controlled through DAPM when the relevant audio path is enabled.
Just to check I understand the problem correctly. You have a system that has both analogue and digital mics connected, and the problem is that DMIC_ENA is then permanently enabled, meaning you can't access the audio from the analogue mics?
Assuming I am correct above, looking through the DAPM graph it does look like the DMIC is oddly wired. It does appear to be hard wired into ADCL, which would indeed cause it to be permanently enabled if the pins are configured for DMIC. Assuming there isn't some reason the chip can't switch between digital and analogue modes (I can't see an obvious one in the datasheet), I think really there is a DAPM mux missing here. There should be a mux connecting both MIXINL and DMIC_ENA to ADCL/ADCR, rather than them both being directly connected that would let the user switch between analogue and digital inputs.
