[alsa-devel] Surround problems on ALC883
Hi all,
I have problems with chip Realtek ALC883 (lspci: 00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)) and surround sound.
Stereo sound is working (games, music) fine - all 6 speaker are playing.
But when I tried to run "aplay chan-id.wav", i've heard only "front left" (front & rear left + center were playing) and "front right" (right front & rear were playing), then was silence until the end of the file.
Running "aplay -Dsurround51 chan-id.wav" causes that aplay hangs-up without any output. Running it with -v parameter produces this output:
Playing WAVE 'Desktop/Surround-SDL-testfiles/chan-id.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Channels 6 Soft volume PCM Control: PCM Playback Volume min_dB: -51 resolution: 256 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 6 rate : 44100 exact rate : 44100 (44100/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 5460 period_size : 1365 period_time : 30952 tick_time : 1000 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 1365 xfer_align : 1365 start_threshold : 5460 stop_threshold : 5460 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 6147413491360727040 Slave: Hardware PCM card 0 'HDA NVidia' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : MMAP_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 6 rate : 44100 exact rate : 44100 (44100/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 5460 period_size : 1365 period_time : 30952 tick_time : 1000 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 sleep_min : 0 avail_min : 1365 xfer_align : 1365 start_threshold : 5460 stop_threshold : 5460 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 6147413491360727040
and then hang up until i press ctrl+c. Same results i get with speaker-test.
I'm using alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.4.rc3.fc7
I've found similar problem in archive (about half a year old) but it still seems it isn't working. Is there any possibility, that this will be fixed in future?
Thanks for all your help (and please leave me in CC, i'm not on mailing-list).

Looks like the stream setup doesn't match with your device.
I'm using alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.4.rc3.fc7
The more important thing is the version of ALSA driver you're using. Try the latest ALSA version (not released one), HG version, at first. If you don't want / have HG, try the daily snapshot tarball below: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/
Then check whether it's a supported device or not. If yours is an unsupported one, you'll see a kernel messages like "unknown model, using BIOS..." Anyway, you can try different model option value for snd-hda-intel module, as listed in Documentation/ALSA-Configuration.txt.

Hi,
thanks a lot, it is working now!!!
1) upgrade to last (today's) snaphot helped - there were no hang-ups when using -Dsurround51
2) Auto-detection is not working (i got "hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC883, trying auto-probe from BIOS...") - just must use model=6stack-dig
[cdome@andromeda ~]$ /sbin/lspci | grep Audio 00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
3) When starting alsa i usualy get one of these messages:
[root@andromeda Audition]# /etc/init.d/alsasound start Starting sound driver: snd-hda-intel done /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1326: No soundcards found...
or

however sound is working properly. From my view is hard to say under which conditions i get which one - just sometimes first one and sometimes second one.
4) It seems there are Center+LFE and Rear Left+Right jacks swapped - i had to connect Center to Rear output and vice versa. But controls in alsamixer are not swapped so i have to use Surround slider to adjust Center and LFE speakers; LFE slider to adjust Rear right speaker and finally Center slider to adjust Rear left speaker.

Could you also submit a couple more pieces of information?
1. System/Motherboard make and model. 2. output from http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/scripts/alsa-info.sh (this is a shell script. Download and run it, and it will post information to http://pastebin.ca)
You said that you are currently loading the driver with "model=6stack-dig". Could you rebuild the driver with "./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-debug=detect" then post the dmesg output from loading the driver, both with "model=6stack-dig" and without?
Thanks,
Tobin Davis

Hi all,
I have problems with chip Realtek ALC883 (lspci: 00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)) and surround sound.
Stereo sound is working (games, music) fine - all 6 speaker are playing.
But when I tried to run "aplay chan-id.wav", i've heard only "front left" (front & rear left + center were playing) and "front right" (right front & rear were playing), then was silence until the end of the file.
Running "aplay -Dsurround51 chan-id.wav" causes that aplay hangs-up without any output. Running it with -v parameter produces this output:

Looks like the stream setup doesn't match with your device.
I'm using alsa-lib-1.0.14-0.4.rc3.fc7
The more important thing is the version of ALSA driver you're using. Try the latest ALSA version (not released one), HG version, at first. If you don't want / have HG, try the daily snapshot tarball below: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/
Then check whether it's a supported device or not. If yours is an unsupported one, you'll see a kernel messages like "unknown model, using BIOS..." Anyway, you can try different model option value for snd-hda-intel module, as listed in Documentation/ALSA-Configuration.txt.

Hi,
thanks a lot, it is working now!!!
- upgrade to last (today's) snaphot helped - there were no hang-ups when
using -Dsurround51
- Auto-detection is not working (i got "hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC883,
trying auto-probe from BIOS...") - just must use model=6stack-dig
[cdome@andromeda ~]$ /sbin/lspci | grep Audio 00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
- When starting alsa i usualy get one of these messages:

or

Hi,
yep, it is working.

This is likely because of alsasound init script of your distribution. "alsactl restore" shouldn't be called in the recent 2.6 kernel systems with udev. It should be called from udev script instead.
