[alsa-devel] Problem setting mixer switch with amixer/alsactl.
Hi, I have a system with a wm9713 ac97 codec. It has a single speaker connected to SPKL and OUT4 in BTL config. Currently I'm setting up the audio path with a small script using amixer: amixer cset numid=90 2 # Out4 Mux = Inv2 amixer cset numid=95 3 # Left Speaker Out Mux = Speaker amixer cset numid=88 2 # DAC Inv Mux 2 = Speaker amixer cset numid=31 1 # Out4 Playback Switch = on amixer cset numid=2 1,0 # Speaker Playback Switch = L:on, R:off and also: amixer cset numid=62 1 # Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch = on If I do all of the above except for setting 'Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch' and then un-mute that in the full alsamixer program, the audio works through the speaker. If I run the 'Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch' amixer command (either before or after setting it with alsamixer), the audio stops working. Once that's happened I can't get it back at all without a full reboot (even suspend/resume doesn't help). Setting it with alsamixer so it works and then using alsactl to save and restore the config also breaks it. I'm not sure how to go about debugging this one, can anyone help? Also, is there a way to (and should I) set the DAC -> SPKMIX -> INV2 -> OUT4 etc in my platform definition in the kernel code, rather than doing it with amixer? Oliver Ford

Please send an alsactl save file with the offending configuration - I'll try to reproduce (though possibly not before Monday). Could you please also expand on "audio stops working" - for example, do you get any diagnostics in dmesg, do applications appear to think they are running normally, is there any noise at all (eg, static) and do any other audio paths work?

The recommended approach is to do this from user space. Direct register writes when probing should also do the trick if you want to do it in-kernel but it's not so robust against future changes.

Attached. I saved this file when the audio was working (i.e having turned the offending control on with alsamixer) but restoring it stops it working.

Thanks.

No unusual dmesg output, the apps think nothing is wrong. It seems that just the offending control (or the actual DACL/R -> SPKMIX mixer channel) stops working. I can still get audio through the headphones, still can get clicks when turning everything else on and off. I can even get audio on the speaker by the alternate routes: DACL -> HPMIXL -> SPKL and DACR -> HPMIXR -> INV2 -> OUT4. Routing SPKMIX to the headphones gives no output on the headphones.

OK, thanks. I've had a brief look at this here but so far as I can tell I'm not able to see these problems on my system. I am using a completely different machine, though, with different hardware and I haven't checked through your configuration in detail. I'll have a more detailed look early next week.

Ok, thanks. I'll keep poking around and see if I can find anything.

Yes, It only stops working when the mixer switch is changed with amixer.

I already have the register writes outputted, I'll compare the logs tonight.

Yes it is, well spotted, I look at that tonight as well. Thanks for the help, Oliver

This is unrelated, I have just left it there from playing around.

Well... In terms of the control's direct effect, setting it in alsamixer gives: pxa2xx_ac97_write: 0c = af08 setting it in amixer: pxa2xx_ac97_write: 0c = af09 Am I right in understanding that setting all the controls in amixer doesn't actually enable the control in the codec chip at that time but that the powering on/off is done by soc-dapm.c when the the DAC is actually enabled when playing some audio? This appears to be what is happening when it does work (looking at the log). I hadn't realised this. However, after running the offending amixer command this no longer happens. It seems that the dapm_power_widgets() function determines that the DAC is off and so doesn't power any widgets on at all. I've put some debugging in pxa2xx-ac97-write and in dapm_power_widgets() and the log is attached (stripped of non-audio stuff).

On the one hand, that's odd. On the other hand, the low bit of register 0xc is just a volume control for the right DAC so shouldn't make any odds really.
However, after running the offending amixer command this no longer happens. It seems that the dapm_power_widgets() function determines that the DAC is off and so doesn't power any widgets on at all.
Well, it determines that there's not a complete path so it doesn't bother powering anything up which isn't *quite* the same thing. It does look like that's what's happening here - I can reproduce similar behaviour here, though it's not quite the same system. I'll try to fix this tomorrow.

BTW, when posting stuff with amixer please use the plain text version of the control name rather than the numeric ID - it makes life very much easier.

Ok, will do. This also reminds me of something that might help... The offending mixer switch has the truncated text name 'Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Swit' under amixer but it obviously is supposed to be 'Switch' on the end. I don't know if that might somehow cause problems? Oliver

This is normal - shouldn't be an issue except in UI terms, ALSA limits the length of names.

Mark, I don't think that's true. I had that problem several monthes ago (remember my patch about alsa controls length ?). Do you remember that patch, which went into asoc-v2 ? : -- Robert

All this patch does is change the limit, there is still a limit on the length of control names in ALSA but as I say it's purely a cosmetic issue.

I don't quite agree on the "cosmetic". If I recall correctly, that name is used in dapm path setup. If the name is incorrect (truncated), some dapm elements are not switched on. I'm speaking from memory, I'll try to browse my git repository to track it back. Notice that I'm really busy ATM, so I don't have enough manpower to test immediatly.

Hrm, that's possible I suppose though I don't recall it being mentioned at the time and can't see any truncations that would make any difference for here.

I should be able to look into this myself on Monday.

Well, with the patch supplied (which I intend to push anyway) ASoC won't enforce any limit and will just pass the string onto the ALSA core - probably best to warn in snd_ctl_new1(). I'll take a look.

Ok, well I tried it anyway and it doesn't solve the problem. I've done a lot more tracing and think I may have found something relevant. I'm not entirely sure what is supposed to be happening so can't figure it out myself, but maybe you will know... When turning the PCM->Speaker mixer on and off in alsamixer (before its broken) the mixer's widget->value seems to flick between 0x4000 and 0x0000. After breaking it with amixer it flicks between 0x4001 and 0x4000, both of which fire the lines: if (val) /* new connection */ path->connect = invert ? 0:1; in dapm_mixer_update_power(). I've put some debugging to report whats happening to path->connect in dapm_mixer_update_power() and this is what happens: ON in alsamixer when working: +dapm_mixer_update_power(kcontrol=Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch, reg=0000000c, val=00000000, val_mask=00004001, invert=00000001) found path for kcontrol: name='PCM Playback Switch', long_name='Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch' val=false: path->connect: 0 --> 1 -dapm_mixer_update_power() OFF in alsamixer when working: +dapm_mixer_update_power(kcontrol=Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch, reg=0000000c, val=00004000, val_mask=00004001, invert=00000001) found path for kcontrol: name='PCM Playback Switch', long_name='Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch' val=true: path->connect: 1 --> 0 -dapm_mixer_update_power() Leaving it on in alsamixer and running the amixer on command. This happens: +dapm_mixer_update_power(kcontrol=Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch, reg=0000000c, val=00000001, val_mask=00004001, invert=00000001) found path for kcontrol: name='PCM Playback Switch', long_name='Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch' val=true: path->connect: 1 --> 0 +dapm_power_widgets() i.e it seems to turn it off? From then on, any further attempts to turn it on in amixer give: +dapm_mixer_update_power(kcontrol=Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch, reg=0000000c, val=00004001, val_mask=00004001, invert=00000001) found path for kcontrol: name='PCM Playback Switch', long_name='Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch' val=true: path->connect: 0 --> 0 +dapm_power_widgets() Any further off/on toggling in alsamixer once broken just results in: +dapm_mixer_update_power(kcontrol=Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch, reg=0000000c, val=00004001, val_mask=00004001, invert=00000001) found path for kcontrol: name='PCM Playback Switch', long_name='Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch' val=true: path->connect: 0 --> 0 +dapm_power_widgets() +dapm_mixer_update_power(kcontrol=Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch, reg=0000000c, val=00000001, val_mask=00004001, invert=00000001) found path for kcontrol: name='PCM Playback Switch', long_name='Speaker Mixer PCM Playback Switch' val=true: path->connect: 0 --> 0 +dapm_power_widgets() Does that give you any ideas of what happening on my system? Thanks, Oliver

Not more than I had already - that's the lowest level of the symptom, DAPM doesn't think the speaker mixer has any active inputs so leaves it and the output path from it off. Unfortunately I've not been able to devote my full attention to this yet.

OK, I see what the problem is now. The conversion to allow larger than 8 bits missed some things, causing the power control to look at unrelated bits in the register when determining if the path is active. I won't be able to fix it today since I have to go and get my eyes examined (no wonder it took me so long to spot this!) but I expect I'll have a patch tomorrow.
