[PATCH 0/4] ASoC: qcom: fixes for Click/Pop Noise
Click/Pop Noise was a long pending issue with WSA Codecs which are prone to accumlate DC when ports are active but without any data streams. There are multiple places in the current setup, where this could happen in both startup as well as shutdown path.
This patches help fix those issues by making sure the PA is Muted/Unmuted inline with the stream start/stop events.
Other than this there is a patch to fix DSP graph saturation issue as we never unload playback graph before loading same graph.

On multiple prepare calls, its possible that the playback graphs are not unloaded from the DSP, which can have some wierd side-effects, one of them is that the data not consumed without any errors.

In the current setup the PA is left unmuted even when the Soundwire ports are not started streaming. This can lead to click and pop sounds during start. There is a same issue in the reverse order where in the PA is left unmute even after the data stream is stopped, the time between data stream stopping and port closing is long enough to accumulate DC on the line resulting in Click/Pop noise during end of stream.
Moving the mute/unmute to trigger stop/start respectively seems to help a lot with this Click/Pop issues reported on this Codec.

The trigger is run in atomic context, can you really write safely to a SoundWire device there?
This feels like we should be doing it at the framework level, either tightening up where the mute happens in general or having some option that devices can select if they really need it.

Mark, I've seen that comment from you several times, and I wonder if I am missing something: the triggers for SoundWire managers and dailinks are typically nonatomic - at least for the Cadence-based solution the trigger is based on a bank switch that may happen with a delay and with a wait_for_completion(). Sending a command over the SoundWire channel is also typically not atomic, there's usually a wait_for_completion() as well.

Ah, you're setting the nonatomic flag on your links to disable the locking. The default for trigger operations is to run them with local interrupts disabled. It looks like at least some of the Qualcomm stuff does that too.

Yes, by default dailinks are marked as nonatomic in Qualcomm case aswell.

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail.
Thanks, Mark

I understand Srini has looked at this but has not yet been able to come up with a generic implementation. Would it be possible to merge the two codec fixes as an interim workaround for 6.7?
Without the wsa883x patch there's a loud crackling scary noise when starting a stream on the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s which users will hit now that they can run mainline on this machine.
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230323164403.6654-4-srinivas.kandagatla@linar...
I've been using this one myself for the past seven months without any issues (even if there's still a faint click when stopping a stream):
Tested-by: Johan Hovold johan+linaro@kernel.org
Getting this backported at least to 6.5 where sound support for the X13s was added would be great too.

So, having gone and fished the series out of lore to look at what the patches are I'm pretty surprised here, it's been about six months since the original discussion and I'd not have expected this to be such a difficult thing to do, or at least that any issues would have been flagged up by now. What are the issues that have been encountered here?

I'm also surprised that this has not yet been resolved, especially given that I've been reminding Srini about the need to get this fixed repeatedly for the past six months.
I haven't looked at this myself yet and I don't know what the technical issues he hinted about having run into would be.
Srini, can you provide some details?

The approach I tried was to reuse the existing snd_soc_dai_digital_mute() from generic snd_soc_pcm_dai_trigger()
The issue is that prepare also unmutes the stream which is why moving this to generic code is not helping in this setup.
To overcome this I have added a flag in snd_soc_dai_ops which seems to have helped
Let me send that patch as RFC for more discussion.
thanks, Srini
