Hi all,

This is my first email to the devel mailing list. I'm asking the same question in the user mailing list but I suspect that I'll have to add some code in order to get this hda codec from Wolfson to work.

The topology looks simple, so it would fit to some existing parsers, such as Realtek, VIA or IDT codecs. The problem seems to be in the capture path: both Realtek and VIA parsers can't handle these paths correctly, so far.

The generic parser in the current form can support only the very limited functions. I think it's good to start moving the code from these vendor-specific parsers to the generic parser slowly now...

That being said, if nothing special is needed, the support of this codec wouldn't be too difficult, I suppose. But, sometimes codecs need special vendor-specific verbs, and we can't know without the help of vendors.

Maybe Mark can tell us.

Attached is the log I get from alsa-info.sh. This codec has three output paths:

1. Node 0x06, DAC1, and Node 0x11, Port A, the stereo headphone playback, which is the default one and it seems it works because I can see the stream set to 5 when a sound is played.

2. Node 0x04, SPDIF Tx1, and Node 0x0f, SPDIF OUT, the SPDIF transmit functionality provides an IEC-60958-3 compatible S/PIDF output which I would like to enable but without luck yet. I can enable the node 0x04, with hda-verb, and the spdif amplifier receives spdif frames but without audio info.

3. Node 0x07, DAC2, and Node 0x12, Port G, the stereo line playback with a differential stereo output wich I would like to enable but without luck again. I just can mute/unmute the node but without effect in the outputs.

I would like to know if I have to develop a patch for this device or with the attached log info I can expect to use it with the current code in kernel. Now, with alsamixer and other config tools I can't see any control related to the outputs for 2) and 3)...

Any hint is welcome! Thanks Jorge
