[alsa-devel] ASoC : question about custom rate
Hi there,
I have an ASIC running on an ASoC with a custom rate @ 18750 Hz. I would like ALSA to report the correct rate.
If I do nothing, then the following reports 16000 Hz : cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/sub0/hw_params
I have verified that the hardware is running at the expected 18750 Hz. I am wondering what/where is the correct place to setup the actual rate ?
I am trying to set the rates at startup like so but ALSA will not work with the driver when I do this :
static int implant_startup(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream, struct snd_soc_dai *dai) { snd_pcm_hw_constraint_minmax(substream->runtime, SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_RATE, 18750, 18750); snd_pcm_hw_constraint_minmax(substream->runtime, SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_CHANNELS, 2, 2); snd_pcm_hw_constraint_minmax(substream->runtime, SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_SAMPLE_BITS, 16, 16);
return 0; }
static const struct snd_soc_dai_ops implant_dai_ops = { .set_fmt = implant_set_dai_fmt, .startup = implant_startup, };
thanks Matt

This is the correct approach. But it is quite likely that your I2S driver will set additional constraints (e.g. just 16k, 32k, etc.) that results in an empty list for the rate constraints. If the I2S driver works fine maybe change the constraints to only set a minimum and maximum rate instead of specific rates.

Yes, you are right, the i2s driver uses the macro SNDRV_PCM_RATE_8000_96000.
I have used your advice to test by manually setting the i2s rates to SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS in the i2s driver's src code. Now the rate is reported correctly in software. Thank you.
Is there a way to access the underlying i2s driver from within my codec's startup file so that I don't need to alter the core driver source code ?
thanks Matt

No, that would be a layering violation. If the I2S driver supports more than just the currently advertised rates it should be updated.
