Starting with version 2.10a of Synopsys DesignWare HDMI controller the insert_pcuv bit was introduced. On RK3399pro SoM (Radxa Rock Pi N10), for example, if we neglect to set this bit and proceed to enable hdmi_sound and i2s2 on the device tree there will be extreme clipping of sound output, to the point that music sounds like white noise. Problem could also manifest as just mild cracking depending of HDMI audio implementation of sink. Setting insert_pcuv bit (bit 2 of aud_conf2 Audio Sample register) fixes this.

I did some research and this insert_pcuv is already present in the 1.40a version of the dw-hdmi databook, so I wonder why suddenly this is needed.

Like I told you, I was unaware of this fact, but I have a hunch this bit was being set to 1 as default before the 2.10a version of dw-hdmi. It remains to be checked, I see you added Christian Hewitt to the Cc:, maybe he can use i2cdump or printk() on older Rockchip hardware, the Radxa Rock Pi N10 is the only thing from Rockchip I own.

The insert_pcuv is documented as:

When set (1'b1), it enables the insertion of the PCUV (Parity, Channel Status, User bit and Validity) bits on the incoming audio stream (support limited to Linear PCM audio). If disabled, the incomming audio stream must contain the PCUV bits, mapped acording to 2.6.4.2 Data Mapping Examples

What's interesting is this register is only present if thre DW-HDMI IP is configured as GPAUD or GDOUBLE, meaning it must have GPAUD enabled. So it has something to do with it, so what's value of it when GPAUD isn't present in the IP ?

Would you like me to inject some printk() or dump some memory value with i2cdump? I'm not sure I follow you because you obviously know much more about this driver than me, but if you could elaborate a bit I'd be happy to provide some answers.

And HDMI2 spec added this, even PCVU were required before:

Note that PCUV refers to the parity bit (P), channel status (C), user data (U), and validity bit (V) as defined in IEC 60958-1.

---

So it has something to do with IEC60958-1 stream format, do maybe this insert_pcuv should only be enforced when the input stream is _not_ IEC60958-1 ?

Yes, the HDMI2 spec requires PCUV audio bits, and they borrow the idea from IEC 60958-1 (Digital Audio Interface - DAI), but insert_pcuv definitely needs to be set for newer Synopsys Designware HDMI hardware when we're talking about Linear PCM - that's what my patch attempts to address.

I also had the HDMI audio clipping issue described here, on a RK3399. This was on a 6.1.23 kernel based on the one used by LibreELEC.tv with their out-of-tree patches for video decoding, 4k HDMI support, etc. When testing this patch I also updated my kernel tree to 6.10.3, and found that even without this patch, on 6.10.3 the problem no longer happens.

I added printk to show the value of AUD_CONF2, and found that on 6.1.23, the value is 0 before the code in this patch sets the insert_pcuv bit. On 6.10.3 the value is 4, i.e. insert_pcuv is already set.

According to the RK3399 TRM, the value-after-reset of the insert_pcuv bit is 1, so apparently on the 6.1.23 kernel something is clearing the bit after HW reset but before this driver sets the hw_params, and this patch sets it back to the correct value. On 6.10.3 the bit is not cleared, i.e. this patch is seemingly no longer necessary (but is a harmless no-op).

I found out that for my hardware even with 6.13-rc5 I still suffer from really distorted audio if I don't apply this patch.

For some strange reason my hardware boots without this set to the default, testing has shown mixed results with different kernel versions on different hardware, truth is, I need this patch or more compliant sinks will misbehave when the PCUV bits are not set
