Hi, Let me illustrate the system first. FE1 -----+----> BE | FE2 -----+ When there is multi-FE stream to a single BE, the BE will receive SND_SOC_DAPM_STREAM_STOP if one of the FE shutdown. However, the BE is stilled used by another, this will let BE cpu_dai and codec_dai think they are inactive. The later power check will go wrong. I have check the latest linux version, and didn't find any related change. The following is my change to address this, and will re-send a formal patch if it's ok. diff --git a/sound/soc/soc-pcm.c b/sound/soc/soc-pcm.c index 70e8088..9c2d159 100644 --- a/sound/soc/soc-pcm.c +++ b/sound/soc/soc-pcm.c @@ -163,6 +163,13 @@ int dpcm_dapm_stream_event(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *fe, int dir, dev_dbg(be->dev, "ASoC: BE %s event %d dir %d\n", be->dai_link->name, event, dir); + /* don't sent stop event if this BE is used by other FE */ + if (event == SND_SOC_DAPM_STREAM_STOP && + be->dpcm[dir].users >= 1) { + pr_warn("kc, %s(), be->dai_link->name %s skip stop event\n", __func__, be->dai_link->name); + continue; + } + snd_soc_dapm_stream_event(be, dir, event); } Sincerely, Kai Chieh
