Yes, but it need to set Max volume to 0. This is test on my site. Because it will rewrite 0x57 value to codec register when driver is loaded. And keep 0x57 volume value all the time. So, Master volume will lower than windows machine. This case which driver fail to build the alsa mixer(This is firmware cause it). So, no hardware volume control on this. If the Max volume value is 0, system will not set default value 0x57 for first time loading driver.

Which values (min/max) does this FU take and which values are buggy? Judging from your description, the firmware gives the bogus max value (white min value = 0) and a volume higher than zero is attenuation?

Max value. But it is not buggy value. Min and Max value are all safe. It got right value from firmware. But if Max value > 0, maybe < 0x57, it will be not rewrited value. Please look for belowing function.

Oh! Yes. Sorry! I confuse with min and max value. It should be 0 for min value. I had test other method. But it still not pull up codec volume to Max value.

Hi Takashi,
Dell had USB dock. Maybe firmware issue, the master volume always keep at 0x57. Attach patch will fix it to keep at Max volume.

Yes, but it need to set Max volume to 0. This is test
on my site.
Because it will rewrite 0x57 value to codec register when
driver is loaded.
And keep 0x57 volume value all the time. So, Master volume
will lower than windows machine.
This case which driver fail to build the alsa mixer(This is
firmware cause it). So, no hardware volume control on this.
If the Max volume value is 0, system will not set default
value 0x57 for first time loading driver.
Which values (min/max) does this FU take and which values
are buggy?
Max value.
Sorry, my question wasn't clear. "What" min and max are they? min=0 and max=0x57?
Oh! Sorry. It's my wrong. I forgot.

And, your patch changes both min and max to be 0. That is, it accepts only 0. Does it mean that this FU isn't any proper volume control?
cval->max original is 0. cval->min => I set it to 0. It will be not rewrite 0x57 value to codec.
But it is not buggy value. Min and Max value are all safe.
It got right value from firmware.
But if Max value > 0, maybe < 0x57, it will be not rewrited value. Please look for belowing function.
Our USB firmware fail for build alsa mixer. And we fixed
the firmware already.
But Dell didn't want to update firmware. Because they
release this MP more and more.
So, they request a workaround for this unit.
Below is in mixer.c
static int mixer_ctl_feature_put(struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol, struct snd_ctl_elem_value *ucontrol) { struct usb_mixer_elem_info *cval = kcontrol->private_data; int c,
cnt, val,
oval, err; int changed = 0;
if (cval->cmask) { cnt = 0; for (c = 0; c < MAX_CHANNELS; c++) { if (!(cval->cmask & (1 << c))) continue; err = get_cur_mix_value(cval, c + 1, cnt, &oval); if (err < 0) return cval->mixer->ignore_ctl_error ? 0 : err; val = ucontrol->value.integer.value[cnt]; =========>
This line will get default value( 0x57) from mixer.
So, do you mean that writing the default value (0x57) from the firmware causes the trouble, and it has to be 0?
val = get_abs_value(cval, val); if (oval != val) { set_cur_mix_value(cval, c + 1, cnt, val); changed = 1; } cnt++; } } else { /* master channel */ err = get_cur_mix_value(cval, 0, 0, &oval); if (err < 0) return cval->mixer->ignore_ctl_error ? 0 : err; val = ucontrol->value.integer.value[0]; val = get_abs_value(cval, val); if (val != oval) { set_cur_mix_value(cval, 0, 0, val); changed = 1; } } return changed; }
Judging from your description, the firmware gives the bogus max value (white min value = 0) and a volume higher than zero is attenuation?
I had not test Max value > 0 and < 0x57. cval->min = 0x0000; => this is original. I just post it.
Remove this line is OK.
Well, I still don't understand clearly. What do you mean here as "original"?
thanks,
Takashi

Can we just skip parsing this control, then? You can create an own usbmix_name_map[] to indicate the ID to skip building a control by passing NULL to its name. That is, a patch like below. (You need to fill the right ID number in the patch, of course.)

[2 0001-Dell-usb-dock-vloume-issue.patch <application/octet-stream (base64)>]
In this thread, I added tanuk@iki.fi and svillar@igalia.com since they reported or discussed similar bugs recently (https://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg62460.html and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100711).
Right now, we are trying to enable the USB audio for the Dell dock stations TB16[1] and WD15[2]. For usb audio part, they have the same design, they use realtek alc4020 USB bridge and alc3263 codec, and there are one headset jack on the front panel and one speaker output jack on the rear panel, but due to some reason (probably it is the firmware's problem), the alsa mixers can't reflect there is speaker or headset on them, as a result the pulseaudio can't handle the headset or speaker correctly.
Right now, the pulseaudio can find a playback device and a record device, it is the output and input device for that headset jack, but pulseaudio does not think they are headphone and Mic, pulseaudio think they are just USB analog output and input devices; for the speaker jack, the pulseaudio can't find it at all. so through pulseaudio, we can't play any sound to that speaker jack.
This is the output and input devices listed by alsa-utils:
!!Aplay/Arecord output !!--------------------
APLAY
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** ... card 1: Audio [USB Audio], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Audio [USB Audio], device 1: USB Audio [USB Audio #1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
ARECORD
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** ... card 1: Audio [USB Audio], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
And we can use alsa-utils command to play sound to speaker jack: $ aplay -D plughw:CARD=1,DEV=1 /usr/share/sounds/speech-dispatcher/test.wav
I don't know how to fix this problem in the kernel driver, if we can let driver export standard mixers, this issue will be fixed. But it looks like the mixers depend on the firmware, we can't change the firmware, so probably we can't fix it in the kernel driver.
Another way to fix it is to add a conf to pulseaudio, in the conf, we add one profile for headset(hw:%f,0,0) and one profile for speaker(hw:%f,1,0), this is the draft patch I sent to pulseaudio-discuss mail list: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2017-May/028252.ht...
Do you have any idea to fix this problem? Thanks in advance. And below are some logs I collected on the TB16, if you need more logs, just tell me, I will collect them for you.

Max value.
Sorry, my question wasn't clear. "What" min and max are they? min=0 and max=0x57?
Oh! Sorry. It's my wrong. I forgot.
Unit: 16 Control: name="PCM Playback Volume", index=0 Info: id=16, control=2, cmask=0x3, channels=2, type="S16" Volume: min=-16256, max=0, dBmin=-6350, dBmax=0
0x0 (codec reg) = (-16256) (USB vloume level) 0x57(codec reg) = 0xEC00(USB vloume level) 0x7F(codec reg) = 0x0000 (USB vloume level)
And, your patch changes both min and max to be 0. That is, it accepts only 0. Does it mean that this FU isn't any
proper volume
control?
cval->max original is 0. cval->min => I set it to 0. It will be not rewrite 0x57
value to codec.
OK, now it's clear, thanks.
Though, I still don't like to set min = max. It basically makes this control useless, and then there is no reason to keep this exposed.
Can we just skip parsing this control, then? You can create an own usbmix_name_map[] to indicate the ID to skip building a control by passing NULL to its name. That is, a patch like below. (You need to fill the right ID number in the patch, of course.)

Right now, we are trying to enable the USB audio for the Dell dock stations TB16[1] and WD15[2]. For usb audio part, they have the same design, they use realtek alc4020 USB bridge and alc3263 codec, and there are one headset jack on the front panel and one speaker output jack on the rear panel, but due to some reason (probably it is the firmware's problem), the alsa mixers can't reflect there is speaker or headset on them, as a result the pulseaudio can't handle the headset or speaker correctly.
Right now, the pulseaudio can find a playback device and a record device, it is the output and input device for that headset jack, but pulseaudio does not think they are headphone and Mic, pulseaudio think they are just USB analog output and input devices; for the speaker jack, the pulseaudio can't find it at all. so through pulseaudio, we can't play any sound to that speaker jack.
This is the output and input devices listed by alsa-utils:

I don't know how to fix this problem in the kernel driver, if we can let driver export standard mixers, this issue will be fixed. But it looks like the mixers depend on the firmware, we can't change the firmware, so probably we can't fix it in the kernel driver.
Right, there are multiple problems. One is the firmware problem as you mentioned. With the old firmware, the USB descriptor and the behavior of the device are unstable / inconsistent.
Even with the fixed firmware, USB audio driver in general may assign PCM streams depending on the descriptor, and the name can't be set consistently per purpose. So, it can't appear like "Headphone Stream" or "Line Out Stream". The only sensible way I can think of is to apply some static mappings for creation of the streams, like the mixer mapping for some devices.
This is, however, only a part of the iceberg. A bigger problem is that USB-audio driver doesn't handle the jack detection usually by itself. The jack detection part belongs to the HID, and it should be handled by a different driver. That is, if any, PA would need to resolve the corresponding input device and deal with the input events. That's a mess.
Another way to fix it is to add a conf to pulseaudio, in the conf, we add one profile for headset(hw:%f,0,0) and one profile for speaker(hw:%f,1,0), this is the draft patch I sent to pulseaudio-discuss mail list: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2017-May/028252.ht...
Do you have any idea to fix this problem? Thanks in advance. And below are some logs I collected on the TB16, if you need more logs, just tell me, I will collect them for you.
I'm in favor of the configuration specific to the device. Still we'd need a few fixups in the kernel side, too. Other "perfect solutions" would be hard to achieve, I'm afraid.
thanks,
Takashi

Yes, the USB-audio jack detection is a bigger problem. Since the current USB-audio driver does not export JACK to the userspace, the PA does not check jack plugging/unplugging at all. If a USB-audio adapter is plugged in, the PA will treat it as a USB headpone+microphone, will think this device is ready to work, then users can select this sound card via UI program to play or record sound.

If a USB-audio adapter is plugged in, the PA will treat it as a USB headpone+microphone, will think this device is ready to work, then users can select this sound card via UI program to play or record sound.
Another way to fix it is to add a conf to pulseaudio, in the conf, we add one profile for headset(hw:%f,0,0) and one profile for speaker(hw:%f,1,0), this is the draft patch I sent to pulseaudio-discuss mail list: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2017-May/028252.ht...
Do you have any idea to fix this problem? Thanks in advance. And below are some logs I collected on the TB16, if you need more logs, just tell me, I will collect them for you.
I'm in favor of the configuration specific to the device. Still we'd need a few fixups in the kernel side, too. Other "perfect solutions" would be hard to achieve, I'm afraid.
Thanks for your advice.
Through PA, users can't select speaker (hw:%f,1,0) to work, this is a more urgent problem.
Hi Tanu,
If you have time, could you please take a look at the patch I sent to pulseaudio-discuss?
I applied your pulseaudio patch now, sorry for the delay.
Thanks.
