[alsa-devel] WM9712 Not Giving output
Hello!
I am using a WM9712 codec chip with the AC97 controller on AMD AU1250. Linux kernel version 2.6.24.2.
I have used the WM9712 codec driver from sound/soc/codecs. This I got after applying some patch available at wolfson website.
The driver comes up, Identifies the codec chip etc. While I do a playback using aplay I cannot hear anything. I probed the pin 39 of the codec chip , but nothing is coming there, how ever on the SDATAOUT of the code chip I can see the signals while I do a playback.
On AC97 controller's side, I can see the DMA happening on the host processor, interrupts also coming.
On the mixer front, I did unmute and set the vol to max for PCM and Headphone. I did not find any Master control with this chip. Isn't there any master control with this chip? Can some one please throw more light on the Mixer part, specific to this chip. What Mixer controls do I need to set with what values for playback and capture respectively with this chip?
Thanks in advance regards

This suggests a mixer configuration problem.

Check the configuration of the Left HP Mixer and Right HP Mixer PCM Playback switches. These should be enabled in order to play back via the headphone output.
If you still can't get audio output with that please send a copy of your mixer configuration - run the command
alsactl store -f mixer-config
to write a file 'mixer-config' with this information in it. Please also check your kernel log from when the driver is loaded and when you configure the mixer.
There is documentation of the audio paths supported by the chip in the datasheet, available from:
http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/products/WM9712/
and you may find the audio route mappings in the WM9712 driver useful to refer to - the 'audio_map' table in the driver which shows how the parts of the device are connected. The format is { destination, control, source }.
HI!

No.
If Master is not there, logically are the enough for playback?

Hi, try searching the mailing list for "[PATCH] wm9712 mono mixer". That may help you.

No, you also need to ensure that the signal is routed from the DAC to the headphone output.

Ya Sure, I meant from Mixer settings point of view, are these settings enough?
