Mates...

I am getting a segfault when running my app:

This is the part of the code where I am getting the error:

if ((err = set_swparams(handle, swparams)) < 0) { printf("Setting of swparams failed: %s\n", snd_strerror(err)); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); }

That is the gdb output: (*The full program code's been posted below the debug output)

Any ideas of what might be happening?? I've been looking for a reasonable explanation but i don't find any related error o online.

Tks in advanced!

Hi,

Due to lack of time, I didn't update kernel on my desktop system. Now I notice that analog loopback go removed. Why?

Because it harms than helps more often. I've got tons of bug reports and been upset just because users blindly set "Analog Loopback" mixer switch and lost their sound output. This is no mixer element that behaves intuitively -- it shuts out PCM output instead of adding the analog loopback like other hardwares.

The feature is still available, though. You just need to give the driver an instruction via sysfs. Namely, write to sysfs files corresponding to the IDT codec like # echo "loopback yes" > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/hints # echo 1 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0/reconfig Then the driver will reconfigure with the loopback mixer element.

I have a patch series to add this with a "patch" firmware file to make it easier, which I'm going to send an RFC to this ML soon later. Take a look at topic/hda-patch branch on sound-unstable tree.

thanks,

Thanks Takashi. Its solved the problem.

Tks!

Uncomment these.

Here it doesn't shut PCM. I just hear input in headphones, mixed with output. I suspect that this feature might not work correctly on newer devices that ones I have added.

Possibly...

Probably IDT removed the analog mixer in quest for better quality.

I think it should work fine for "STAC..." parts.

Anyway lets put it back at least for my STAC9227, OK?

You can still use it just by adjusting the sysfs (and in near future via a patch file), so I'm not going to take it back for the default.

This is unmerged feature?

Ok, I see it now, but then I put these commands in /etc/rc.local

echo "loopback=yes" > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D2/hints echo 1 > /sys/class/sound/hwC0D2/reconfig

and I get this, and almost empty mixer

I had to reload the driver and apply the above commands to make it and loopback work...

Why? It all did work fine before.
