Re: [alsa-devel] No sound with nVidia Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio (rev b1) (Macbook Pro 5, 5)
A quick google shows that the vendor ID is Cirrus Logic. The Boot Camp driver set does include installers for Cirrus audio cards. I don't have Windows installed on here, so I can't check to see if it is indeed the Cirrus drivers that get installed. What can be done to facilitate the implementation of this codec?

I guess it's CS4206 codec. CS4207 has a different id.
If it doesn't use any vendor-specific verbs, the implementation wouldn't be too difficult.

so i tried to find some information in OS X and after a while i stumbled upon a document "Info.plist", to which i was pointed by OS X's build-in hardware info-utility, somehwere in /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/....
http://nopaste.org/p/aRCCwdDXqb
also some information right out of the apple tool, eventhough i don't think that it's worth anything: Intel High Definition Audio: Device ID: 0x10DECB79 Audio ID: 77 Available Devices: Headphone: Connection: Combo Speaker: Connection: Internal Line In: Connection: Combo Internal Microphone: Connection: Internal S/P-DIF Out: Connection: Combo External Microphone: Connection: Combo

out of the Info.plist: <string>Cirrus Logic CS4206</string> <key>CodecID</key>
so again: if i can, i'd love to help.
thanks a lot

This is likely a different chip.

And that's it.

I created the support for for Cirrus Logic chips (cs420x only). It's included in sound-unstable tree. Grab the alsa-driver-unstable snapshot from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.gz
Let me know if it works or not.
Also, prepare to install hda-verb program. I'd like to confirm the behavior of the codec, and I'll ask it later once after the driver works somehow.
thanks,
Takashi
wow thanks a lot! =)
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-uns table-snapshot.tar.gz
Let me know if it works or not.
sadly: no.. well the chip gets recognized now: $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: Cirrus Analog [Cirrus Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
and alsamixer also shows a bunch of channels now as well as "Card: HDA NVidia Chip: Cirrus Logic CS4206"
but i can't get any sound eventhough all channels are unmuted and turned up to 100.
i also aplay -Dfoo file.wav again, where foo = default,front,surround40,.... , but i always get: aplay: main:608: audio open error: Invalid argument

installing hda-verb and waiting for orders ;)

Please run alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option, and attach the generated file.
thanks,

The error is strange. Did you build with --enable-dynamic-minors configure option?
Otherwise the codec registers look OK.

hmmm.. well whenever i really build this manually ( ./configure --with- cards=hda-intel && make && sudo make install) i can't load the modules, because i get: [ 1526.091642] snd: Unknown symbol unregister_sound_special [ 1526.092374] snd: Unknown symbol register_sound_special_device
however when i edited the gentoo-ebuild to use your snapshot, i'm able to compile and load the driver but get said error.
do you have an idea why i'm getting this Unknown symbol -error? should i build alsa-headers myself as well? right now that's built via gentoo-ebuild.
i'll try to copy the ebuild instructions, step by step until i get it running manually.

You should use ./configure --with-debug=full --enable-dynamic-minors \ --with-moddir=updates

I have no idea a about gentoo.

so i finally figured out, the problem with "Unknown symbol unregister_sound_special": the ebuild always used "--without-oss". as soon as i applied that to my manual ./configure i was able to load the modules. however now dmesg throws some errors - i attached them to this mail. i'm a little confused why there's still my build-dir in the errors,

Now yours looks different from others. In your earlier one, it was two line-outs (they are speakers, though). Now it's one line-out and speaker...
Could you give alsa-info.sh output?
