1 | MORE NOTES ON HD-AUDIO DRIVER | ||
2 | ============================= | ||
3 | Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> | ||
4 | |||
5 | |||
6 | GENERAL | ||
7 | ------- | ||
8 | |||
9 | HD-audio is the new standard on-board audio component on modern PCs | ||
10 | after AC97. Although Linux has been supporting HD-audio since long | ||
11 | time ago, there are often problems with new machines. A part of the | ||
12 | problem is broken BIOS, and the rest is the driver implementation. | ||
13 | This document explains the brief trouble-shooting and debugging | ||
14 | methods for the HD-audio hardware. | ||
15 | |||
16 | The HD-audio component consists of two parts: the controller chip and | ||
17 | the codec chips on the HD-audio bus. Linux provides a single driver | ||
18 | for all controllers, snd-hda-intel. Although the driver name contains | ||
19 | a word of a well-known harware vendor, it's not specific to it but for | ||
20 | all controller chips by other companies. Since the HD-audio | ||
21 | controllers are supposed to be compatible, the single snd-hda-driver | ||
22 | should work in most cases. But, not surprisingly, there are known | ||
23 | bugs and issues specific to each controller type. The snd-hda-intel | ||
24 | driver has a bunch of workarounds for these as described below. | ||
25 | |||
26 | A controller may have multiple codecs. Usually you have one audio | ||
27 | codec and optionally one modem codec. In theory, there might be | ||
28 | multiple audio codecs, e.g. for analog and digital outputs, and the | ||
29 | driver might not work properly because of conflict of mixer elements. | ||
30 | This should be fixed in future if such hardware really exists. | ||
31 | |||
32 | The snd-hda-intel driver has several different codec parsers depending | ||
33 | on the codec. It has a generic parser as a fallback, but this | ||
34 | functionality is fairly limited until now. Instead of the generic | ||
35 | parser, usually the codec-specific parser (coded in patch_*.c) is used | ||
36 | for the codec-specific implementations. The details about the | ||
37 | codec-specific problems are explained in the later sections. | ||
38 | |||
39 | If you are interested in the deep debugging of HD-audio, read the | ||
40 | HD-audio specification at first. The specification is found on | ||
41 | Intel's web page, for example: | ||
42 | |||
43 | - http://www.intel.com/standards/hdaudio/ | ||
44 | |||
45 | |||
46 | HD-AUDIO CONTROLLER | ||
47 | ------------------- | ||
48 | |||
49 | DMA-Position Problem | ||
50 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
51 | The most common problem of the controller is the inaccurate DMA | ||
52 | pointer reporting. The DMA pointer for playback and capture can be | ||
53 | read in two ways, either via a LPIB register or via a position-buffer | ||
54 | map. As default the driver tries to read from the io-mapped | ||
55 | position-buffer, and falls back to LPIB if the position-buffer appears | ||
56 | dead. However, this detection isn't perfect on some devices. In such | ||
57 | a case, you can change the default method via `position_fix` option. | ||
58 | |||
59 | `position_fix=1` means to use LPIB method explicitly. | ||
60 | `position_fix=2` means to use the position-buffer. 0 is the default | ||
61 | value, the automatic check and fallback to LPIB as described in the | ||
62 | above. If you get a problem of repeated sounds, this option might | ||
63 | help. | ||
64 | |||
65 | In addition to that, every controller is known to be broken regarding | ||
66 | the wake-up timing. It wakes up a few samples before actually | ||
67 | processing the data on the buffer. This caused a lot of problems, for | ||
68 | example, with ALSA dmix or JACK. Since 2.6.27 kernel, the driver puts | ||
69 | an artificial delay to the wake up timing. This delay is controlled | ||
70 | via `bdl_pos_adj` option. | ||
71 | |||
72 | When `bdl_pos_adj` is a negative value (as default), it's assigned to | ||
73 | an appropriate value depending on the controller chip. For Intel | ||
74 | chips, it'd be 1 while it'd be 32 for others. Usually this works. | ||
75 | Only in case it doesn't work and you get warning messages, you should | ||
76 | change this parameter to other values. | ||
77 | |||
78 | |||
79 | Codec-Probing Problem | ||
80 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
81 | A less often but a more severe problem is the codec probing. When | ||
82 | BIOS reports the available codec slots wrongly, the driver gets | ||
83 | confused and tries to access the non-existing codec slot. This often | ||
84 | results in the total screw-up, and destructs the further communication | ||
85 | with the codec chips. The symptom appears usually as error messages | ||
86 | like: | ||
87 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
88 | hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: | ||
89 | last cmd=0x12345678 | ||
90 | hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode: | ||
91 | last cmd=0x12345678 | ||
92 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
93 | |||
94 | The first line is a warning, and this is usually relatively harmless. | ||
95 | It means that the codec response isn't notified via an IRQ. The | ||
96 | driver uses explicit polling method to read the response. It gives | ||
97 | very slight CPU overhead, but you'd unlikely notice it. | ||
98 | |||
99 | The second line is, however, a fatal error. If this happens, usually | ||
100 | it means that something is really wrong. Most likely you are | ||
101 | accessing a non-existing codec slot. | ||
102 | |||
103 | Thus, if the second error message appears, try to narrow the probed | ||
104 | codec slots via `probe_mask` option. It's a bitmask, and each bit | ||
105 | corresponds to the codec slot. For example, to probe only the first | ||
106 | slot, pass `probe_mask=1`. For the first and the third slots, pass | ||
107 | `probe_mask=5` (where 5 = 1 | 4), and so on. | ||
108 | |||
109 | Since 2.6.29 kernel, the driver has a more robust probing method, so | ||
110 | this error might happen rarely, though. | ||
111 | |||
112 | |||
113 | Interrupt Handling | ||
114 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
115 | In rare but some cases, the interrupt isn't properly handled as | ||
116 | default. You would notice this by the DMA transfer error reported by | ||
117 | ALSA PCM core, for example. Using MSI might help in such a case. | ||
118 | Pass `enable_msi=1` option for enabling MSI. | ||
119 | |||
120 | |||
121 | HD-AUDIO CODEC | ||
122 | -------------- | ||
123 | |||
124 | Model Option | ||
125 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
126 | The most common problem regarding the HD-audio driver is the | ||
127 | unsupported codec features or the mismatched device configuration. | ||
128 | Most of codec-specific code has several preset models, either to | ||
129 | override the BIOS setup or to provide more comprehensive features. | ||
130 | |||
131 | The driver checks PCI SSID and looks through the static configuration | ||
132 | table until any matching entry is found. If you have a new machine, | ||
133 | you may see a message like below: | ||
134 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
135 | hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC880, trying auto-probe from BIOS... | ||
136 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
137 | Even if you see such a message, DON'T PANIC. Take a deep breath and | ||
138 | keep your towel. First of all, it's an informational message, no | ||
139 | warning, no error. This means that the PCI SSID of your device isn't | ||
140 | listed in the known preset model (white-)list. But, this doesn't mean | ||
141 | that the driver is broken. Many codec-drivers provide the automatic | ||
142 | configuration mechanism based on the BIOS setup. | ||
143 | |||
144 | The HD-audio codec has usually "pin" widgets, and BIOS sets the default | ||
145 | configuration of each pin, which indicates the location, the | ||
146 | connection type, the jack color, etc. The HD-audio driver can guess | ||
147 | the right connection judging from these default configuration values. | ||
148 | However -- some codec-support codes, such as patch_analog.c, don't | ||
149 | support the automatic probing (yet as of 2.6.28). And, BIOS is often, | ||
150 | yes, pretty often broken. It sets up wrong values and screws up the | ||
151 | driver. | ||
152 | |||
153 | The preset model is provided basically to overcome such a situation. | ||
154 | When the matching preset model is found in the white-list, the driver | ||
155 | assumes the static configuration of that preset and builds the mixer | ||
156 | elements and PCM streams based on the static information. Thus, if | ||
157 | you have a newer machine with a slightly different PCI SSID from the | ||
158 | existing one, you may have a good chance to re-use the same model. | ||
159 | You can pass the `model` option to specify the preset model instead of | ||
160 | PCI SSID look-up. | ||
161 | |||
162 | What `model` option values are available depends on the codec chip. | ||
163 | Check your codec chip from the codec proc file (see "Codec Proc-File" | ||
164 | section below). It will show the vendor/product name of your codec | ||
165 | chip. Then, see Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Modelstxt file, | ||
166 | the section of HD-audio driver. You can find a list of codecs | ||
167 | and `model` options belonging to each codec. For example, for Realtek | ||
168 | ALC262 codec chip, pass `model=ultra` for devices that are compatible | ||
169 | with Samsung Q1 Ultra. | ||
170 | |||
171 | Thus, the first thing you can do for any brand-new, unsupported and | ||
172 | non-working HD-audio hardware is to check HD-audio codec and several | ||
173 | different `model` option values. If you have a luck, some of them | ||
174 | might suit with your device well. | ||
175 | |||
176 | Some codecs such as ALC880 have a special model option `model=test`. | ||
177 | This configures the driver to provide as many mixer controls as | ||
178 | possible for every single pin feature except for the unsolicited | ||
179 | events (and maybe some other specials). Adjust each mixer element and | ||
180 | try the I/O in the way of trial-and-error until figuring out the whole | ||
181 | I/O pin mappings. | ||
182 | |||
183 | Note that `model=generic` has a special meaning. It means to use the | ||
184 | generic parser regardless of the codec. Usually the codec-specific | ||
185 | parser is much better than the generic parser (as now). Thus this | ||
186 | option is more about the debugging purpose. | ||
187 | |||
188 | |||
189 | Speaker and Headphone Output | ||
190 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
191 | One of the most frequent (and obvious) bugs with HD-audio is the | ||
192 | silent output from either or both of a built-in speaker and a | ||
193 | headphone jack. In general, you should try a headphone output at | ||
194 | first. A speaker output often requires more additional controls like | ||
195 | the external amplifier bits. Thus a headphone output has a slightly | ||
196 | better chance. | ||
197 | |||
198 | Before making a bug report, double-check whether the mixer is set up | ||
199 | correctly. The recent version of snd-hda-intel driver provides mostly | ||
200 | "Master" volume control as well as "Front" volume (where Front | ||
201 | indicates the front-channels). In addition, there can be individual | ||
202 | "Headphone" and "Speaker" controls. | ||
203 | |||
204 | Ditto for the speaker output. There can be "External Amplifier" | ||
205 | switch on some codecs. Turn on this if present. | ||
206 | |||
207 | Another related problem is the automatic mute of speaker output by | ||
208 | headphone plugging. This feature is implemented in most cases, but | ||
209 | not on every preset model or codec-support code. | ||
210 | |||
211 | In anyway, try a different model option if you have such a problem. | ||
212 | Some other models may match better and give you more matching | ||
213 | functionality. If none of the available models works, send a bug | ||
214 | report. See the bug report section for details. | ||
215 | |||
216 | If you are masochistic enough to debug the driver problem, note the | ||
217 | following: | ||
218 | |||
219 | - The speaker (and the headphone, too) output often requires the | ||
220 | external amplifier. This can be set usually via EAPD verb or a | ||
221 | certain GPIO. If the codec pin supports EAPD, you have a better | ||
222 | chance via SET_EAPD_BTL verb (0x70c). On others, GPIO pin (mostly | ||
223 | it's either GPIO0 or GPIO1) may turn on/off EAPD. | ||
224 | - Some Realtek codecs require special vendor-specific coefficients to | ||
225 | turn on the amplifier. See patch_realtek.c. | ||
226 | - IDT codecs may have extra power-enable/disable controls on each | ||
227 | analog pin. See patch_sigmatel.c. | ||
228 | - Very rare but some devices don't accept the pin-detection verb until | ||
229 | triggered. Issuing GET_PIN_SENSE verb (0xf09) may result in the | ||
230 | codec-communication stall. Some examples are found in | ||
231 | patch_realtek.c. | ||
232 | |||
233 | |||
234 | Capture Problems | ||
235 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
236 | The capture problems are often because of missing setups of mixers. | ||
237 | Thus, before submitting a bug report, make sure that you set up the | ||
238 | mixer correctly. For example, both "Capture Volume" and "Capture | ||
239 | Switch" have to be set properly in addition to the right "Capture | ||
240 | Source" or "Input Source" selection. Some devices have "Mic Boost" | ||
241 | volume or switch. | ||
242 | |||
243 | When the PCM device is opened via "default" PCM (without pulse-audio | ||
244 | plugin), you'll likely have "Digital Capture Volume" control as well. | ||
245 | This is provided for the extra gain/attenuation of the signal in | ||
246 | software, especially for the inputs without the hardware volume | ||
247 | control such as digital microphones. Unless really needed, this | ||
248 | should be set to exactly 50%, corresponding to 0dB -- neither extra | ||
249 | gain nor attenuation. When you use "hw" PCM, i.e., a raw access PCM, | ||
250 | this control will have no influence, though. | ||
251 | |||
252 | It's known that some codecs / devices have fairly bad analog circuits, | ||
253 | and the recorded sound contains a certain DC-offset. This is no bug | ||
254 | of the driver. | ||
255 | |||
256 | Most of modern laptops have no analog CD-input connection. Thus, the | ||
257 | recording from CD input won't work in many cases although the driver | ||
258 | provides it as the capture source. Use CDDA instead. | ||
259 | |||
260 | The automatic switching of the built-in and external mic per plugging | ||
261 | is implemented on some codec models but not on every model. Partly | ||
262 | because of my laziness but mostly lack of testers. Feel free to | ||
263 | submit the improvement patch to the author. | ||
264 | |||
265 | |||
266 | Direct Debugging | ||
267 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
268 | If no model option gives you a better result, and you are a tough guy | ||
269 | to fight against evil, try debugging via hitting the raw HD-audio | ||
270 | codec verbs to the device. Some tools are available: hda-emu and | ||
271 | hda-analyzer. The detailed description is found in the sections | ||
272 | below. You'd need to enable hwdep for using these tools. See "Kernel | ||
273 | Configuration" section. | ||
274 | |||
275 | |||
276 | OTHER ISSUES | ||
277 | ------------ | ||
278 | |||
279 | Kernel Configuration | ||
280 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
281 | In general, I recommend you to enable the sound debug option, | ||
282 | `CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y`, no matter whether you are debugging or not. | ||
283 | This enables snd_printd() macro and others, and you'll get additional | ||
284 | kernel messages at probing. | ||
285 | |||
286 | In addition, you can enable `CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE=y`. But this | ||
287 | will give you far more messages. Thus turn this on only when you are | ||
288 | sure to want it. | ||
289 | |||
290 | Don't forget to turn on the appropriate `CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_*` | ||
291 | options. Note that each of them corresponds to the codec chip, not | ||
292 | the controller chip. Thus, even if lspci shows the Nvidia controller, | ||
293 | you may need to choose the option for other vendors. If you are | ||
294 | unsure, just select all yes. | ||
295 | |||
296 | `CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP` is a useful option for debugging the driver. | ||
297 | When this is enabled, the driver creates hardware-dependent devices | ||
298 | (one per each codec), and you have a raw access to the device via | ||
299 | these device files. For example, `hwC0D2` will be created for the | ||
300 | codec slot #2 of the first card (#0). For debug-tools such as | ||
301 | hda-verb and hda-analyzer, the hwdep device has to be enabled. | ||
302 | Thus, it'd be better to turn this on always. | ||
303 | |||
304 | `CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG` is a new option, and this depends on the | ||
305 | hwdep option above. When enabled, you'll have some sysfs files under | ||
306 | the corresponding hwdep directory. See "HD-audio reconfiguration" | ||
307 | section below. | ||
308 | |||
309 | `CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE` option enables the power-saving feature. | ||
310 | See "Power-saving" section below. | ||
311 | |||
312 | |||
313 | Codec Proc-File | ||
314 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
315 | The codec proc-file is a treasure-chest for debugging HD-audio. | ||
316 | It shows most of useful information of each codec widget. | ||
317 | |||
318 | The proc file is located in /proc/asound/card*/codec#*, one file per | ||
319 | each codec slot. You can know the codec vendor, product id and | ||
320 | names, the type of each widget, capabilities and so on. | ||
321 | This file, however, doesn't show the jack sensing state, so far. This | ||
322 | is because the jack-sensing might be depending on the trigger state. | ||
323 | |||
324 | This file will be picked up by the debug tools, and also it can be fed | ||
325 | to the emulator as the primary codec information. See the debug tools | ||
326 | section below. | ||
327 | |||
328 | This proc file can be also used to check whether the generic parser is | ||
329 | used. When the generic parser is used, the vendor/product ID name | ||
330 | will appear as "Realtek ID 0262", instead of "Realtek ALC262". | ||
331 | |||
332 | |||
333 | HD-Audio Reconfiguration | ||
334 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
335 | This is an experimental feature to allow you re-configure the HD-audio | ||
336 | codec dynamically without reloading the driver. The following sysfs | ||
337 | files are available under each codec-hwdep device directory (e.g. | ||
338 | /sys/class/sound/hwC0D0): | ||
339 | |||
340 | vendor_id:: | ||
341 | Shows the 32bit codec vendor-id hex number. You can change the | ||
342 | vendor-id value by writing to this file. | ||
343 | subsystem_id:: | ||
344 | Shows the 32bit codec subsystem-id hex number. You can change the | ||
345 | subsystem-id value by writing to this file. | ||
346 | revision_id:: | ||
347 | Shows the 32bit codec revision-id hex number. You can change the | ||
348 | revision-id value by writing to this file. | ||
349 | afg:: | ||
350 | Shows the AFG ID. This is read-only. | ||
351 | mfg:: | ||
352 | Shows the MFG ID. This is read-only. | ||
353 | name:: | ||
354 | Shows the codec name string. Can be changed by writing to this | ||
355 | file. | ||
356 | modelname:: | ||
357 | Shows the currently set `model` option. Can be changed by writing | ||
358 | to this file. | ||
359 | init_verbs:: | ||
360 | The extra verbs to execute at initialization. You can add a verb by | ||
361 | writing to this file. Pass tree numbers, nid, verb and parameter. | ||
362 | hints:: | ||
363 | Shows hint strings for codec parsers for any use. Right now it's | ||
364 | not used. | ||
365 | reconfig:: | ||
366 | Triggers the codec re-configuration. When any value is written to | ||
367 | this file, the driver re-initialize and parses the codec tree | ||
368 | again. All the changes done by the sysfs entries above are taken | ||
369 | into account. | ||
370 | clear:: | ||
371 | Resets the codec, removes the mixer elements and PCM stuff of the | ||
372 | specified codec, and clear all init verbs and hints. | ||
373 | |||
374 | |||
375 | Power-Saving | ||
376 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
377 | The power-saving is a kind of auto-suspend of the device. When the | ||
378 | device is inactive for a certain time, the device is automatically | ||
379 | turned off to save the power. The time to go down is specified via | ||
380 | `power_save` module option, and this option can be changed dynamically | ||
381 | via sysfs. | ||
382 | |||
383 | The power-saving won't work when the analog loopback is enabled on | ||
384 | some codecs. Make sure that you mute all unneeded signal routes when | ||
385 | you want the power-saving. | ||
386 | |||
387 | The power-saving feature might cause audible click noises at each | ||
388 | power-down/up depending on the device. Some of them might be | ||
389 | solvable, but some are hard, I'm afraid. Some distros such as | ||
390 | openSUSE enables the power-saving feature automatically when the power | ||
391 | cable is unplugged. Thus, if you hear noises, suspect first the | ||
392 | power-saving. See /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save to | ||
393 | check the current value. If it's non-zero, the feature is turned on. | ||
394 | |||
395 | |||
396 | Development Tree | ||
397 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
398 | The latest development codes for HD-audio are found on sound git tree: | ||
399 | |||
400 | - git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git | ||
401 | |||
402 | The master branch or for-next branches can be used as the main | ||
403 | development branches in general while the HD-audio specific patches | ||
404 | are committed in topic/hda branch. | ||
405 | |||
406 | If you are using the latest Linus tree, it'd be better to pull the | ||
407 | above GIT tree onto it. If you are using the older kernels, an easy | ||
408 | way to try the latest ALSA code is to build from the snapshot | ||
409 | tarball. There are daily tarballs and the latest snapshot tarball. | ||
410 | All can be built just like normal alsa-driver release packages, that | ||
411 | is, installed via the usual spells: configure, make and make | ||
412 | install(-modules). See INSTALL in the package. The snapshot tarballs | ||
413 | are found at: | ||
414 | |||
415 | - ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/ | ||
416 | |||
417 | |||
418 | Sending a Bug Report | ||
419 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
420 | If any model or module options don't work for your device, it's time | ||
421 | to send a bug report to the developers. Give the following in your | ||
422 | bug report: | ||
423 | |||
424 | - Hardware vendor, product and model names | ||
425 | - Kernel version (and ALSA-driver version if you built externally) | ||
426 | - `alsa-info.sh` output; run with `--no-upload` option. See the | ||
427 | section below about alsa-info | ||
428 | |||
429 | If it's a regression, at best, send alsa-info outputs of both working | ||
430 | and non-working kernels. This is really helpful because we can | ||
431 | compare the codec registers directly. | ||
432 | |||
433 | Send a bug report either the followings: | ||
434 | |||
435 | kernel-bugzilla:: | ||
436 | http://bugme.linux-foundation.org/ | ||
437 | alsa-devel ML:: | ||
438 | alsa-devel@alsa-project.org | ||
439 | |||
440 | |||
441 | DEBUG TOOLS | ||
442 | ----------- | ||
443 | |||
444 | This section describes some tools available for debugging HD-audio | ||
445 | problems. | ||
446 | |||
447 | alsa-info | ||
448 | ~~~~~~~~~ | ||
449 | The script `alsa-info.sh` is a very useful tool to gather the audio | ||
450 | device information. You can fetch the latest version from: | ||
451 | |||
452 | - http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh | ||
453 | |||
454 | Run this script as root, and it will gather the important information | ||
455 | such as the module lists, module parameters, proc file contents | ||
456 | including the codec proc files, mixer outputs and the control | ||
457 | elements. As default, it will store the information onto a web server | ||
458 | on alsa-project.org. But, if you send a bug report, it'd be better to | ||
459 | run with `--no-upload` option, and attach the generated file. | ||
460 | |||
461 | There are some other useful options. See `--help` option output for | ||
462 | details. | ||
463 | |||
464 | |||
465 | hda-verb | ||
466 | ~~~~~~~~ | ||
467 | hda-verb is a tiny program that allows you to access the HD-audio | ||
468 | codec directly. You can execute a raw HD-audio codec verb with this. | ||
469 | This program accesses the hwdep device, thus you need to enable the | ||
470 | kernel config `CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP=y` beforehand. | ||
471 | |||
472 | The hda-verb program takes four arguments: the hwdep device file, the | ||
473 | widget NID, the verb and the parameter. When you access to the codec | ||
474 | on the slot 2 of the card 0, pass /dev/snd/hwC0D2 to the first | ||
475 | argument, typically. (However, the real path name depends on the | ||
476 | system.) | ||
477 | |||
478 | The second parameter is the widget number-id to access. The third | ||
479 | parameter can be either a hex/digit number or a string corresponding | ||
480 | to a verb. Similarly, the last parameter is the value to write, or | ||
481 | can be a string for the parameter type. | ||
482 | |||
483 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
484 | % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x12 0x701 2 | ||
485 | nid = 0x12, verb = 0x701, param = 0x2 | ||
486 | value = 0x0 | ||
487 | |||
488 | % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x0 PARAMETERS VENDOR_ID | ||
489 | nid = 0x0, verb = 0xf00, param = 0x0 | ||
490 | value = 0x10ec0262 | ||
491 | |||
492 | % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 2 set_a 0xb080 | ||
493 | nid = 0x2, verb = 0x300, param = 0xb080 | ||
494 | value = 0x0 | ||
495 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
496 | |||
497 | Although you can issue any verbs with this program, the driver state | ||
498 | won't be always updated. For example, the volume values are usually | ||
499 | cached in the driver, and thus changing the widget amp value directly | ||
500 | via hda-verb won't change the mixer value. | ||
501 | |||
502 | The hda-verb program is found in the ftp directory: | ||
503 | |||
504 | - ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/misc/ | ||
505 | |||
506 | Also a git repository is available: | ||
507 | |||
508 | - git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/hda-verb.git | ||
509 | |||
510 | See README file in the tarball for more details about hda-verb | ||
511 | program. | ||
512 | |||
513 | |||
514 | hda-analyzer | ||
515 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
516 | hda-analyzer provides a graphical interface to access the raw HD-audio | ||
517 | control, based on pyGTK2 binding. It's a more powerful version of | ||
518 | hda-verb. The program gives you an easy-to-use GUI stuff for showing | ||
519 | the widget information and adjusting the amp values, as well as the | ||
520 | proc-compatible output. | ||
521 | |||
522 | The hda-analyzer is a part of alsa.git repository in | ||
523 | alsa-project.org: | ||
524 | |||
525 | - http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa.git;a=tree;f=hda-analyzer | ||
526 | |||
527 | |||
528 | Codecgraph | ||
529 | ~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
530 | Codecgraph is a utility program to generate a graph and visualizes the | ||
531 | codec-node connection of a codec chip. It's especially useful when | ||
532 | you analyze or debug a codec without a proper datasheet. The program | ||
533 | parses the given codec proc file and converts to SVG via graphiz | ||
534 | program. | ||
535 | |||
536 | The tarball and GIT trees are found in the web page at: | ||
537 | |||
538 | - http://helllabs.org/codecgraph/ | ||
539 | |||
540 | |||
541 | hda-emu | ||
542 | ~~~~~~~ | ||
543 | hda-emu is an HD-audio emulator. The main purpose of this program is | ||
544 | to debug an HD-audio codec without the real hardware. Thus, it | ||
545 | doesn't emulate the behavior with the real audio I/O, but it just | ||
546 | dumps the codec register changes and the ALSA-driver internal changes | ||
547 | at probing and operating the HD-audio driver. | ||
548 | |||
549 | The program requires a codec proc-file to simulate. Get a proc file | ||
550 | for the target codec beforehand, or pick up an example codec from the | ||
551 | codec proc collections in the tarball. Then, run the program with the | ||
552 | proc file, and the hda-emu program will start parsing the codec file | ||
553 | and simulates the HD-audio driver: | ||
554 | |||
555 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
556 | % hda-emu codecs/stac9200-dell-d820-laptop | ||
557 | # Parsing.. | ||
558 | hda_codec: Unknown model for STAC9200, using BIOS defaults | ||
559 | hda_codec: pin nid 08 bios pin config 40c003fa | ||
560 | .... | ||
561 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
562 | |||
563 | The program gives you only a very dumb command-line interface. You | ||
564 | can get a proc-file dump at the current state, get a list of control | ||
565 | (mixer) elements, set/get the control element value, simulate the PCM | ||
566 | operation, the jack plugging simulation, etc. | ||
567 | |||
568 | The package is found in: | ||
569 | |||
570 | - ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/misc/ | ||
571 | |||
572 | A git repository is available: | ||
573 | |||
