[alsa-devel] TWL4030 Line In/Out Loopback issue

[Almohanad Fayez]

Péter, 



 I can't seem to find a Left/Right Digital Loopback the mention of a loop I found is an FM Loop Enable.  The following is the dapm_widget enable output from my Gumstix Overo running the 2.6.38 Kernel.  Thanks for your help.

I can not recall seeing such an issue.

Have you checked the state of the Left/Right Digital Loopback? Is it set to 0?

Could you post the content of the
/sys/devices/platform/soc-audio/wl4030-codec/dapm_widget
file to see what's going on?
