I just got a macbookpro (mid2009 version) with a new nvidia chipset.

there is no sound at all. neither via the built-in speakers nor via
out-jack.

i tried aplay -D myfile.wav with everything from aplay -L  as well.

i also tried a recent snapshot (alsa-driver-20090626.tar.bz2) as well
as gentoo ebuilds alsa-headers-9999 and alsa-driver-9999 (which uses
git to pull recent versions).

so here's a little information i can gather:

$ lspci -s 00:08.0 -v
00:08.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio
(rev b1) Subsystem: nVidia Corporation Device cb79

        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel

modinfo snd-hda-intel:
http://www.nopaste.com/p/a3B7miINP

i also found a thread about that problem (w/o solution obviously):

http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1188849&page=2


hope that's all information necessary.

if i can i'd love to help in some way.

thanks

Interesting.  This is really an unknown codec chip (1013:4206).
Which vendor/product of the codec chip is this?
(Oh, it's a Mac.  So Apple won't say anything specific?)

Well, your question is rather HD-audio codec specific than ALSA.
CS420x has a 1:1 static connection between DAC and pin, according to the
codec verbs.  The pin 0x09 corresponds to the DAC 0x02, and this appears
to be a HP output.  It's just labeled so, and thus it's a guess.

You can change the pin configs in mbp55_pincfgs[] just to point one
pin.  In the case above, 0x012b4030 is set to 0x09 (which represents
a HP output) and others are 0x400000f0 (which represents empty).
Similarly, you can assign the value to another pin and check which I/O
actually works...

And, this might be together with GPIO setup.  So, a lot of
trial-and-error procedure.

i just realized that this is an old document - datasheetarchive labeled it as 
cs4206 though :S

still no luck on my end =(

however i found this, while google-ing  on datasheetarchive.com:
http://nutz.unfoog.de/cs4206.pdf

there's a lot of stuff about the pins and all that. maybe this is helpfull?


is there anything i can do, though?  like: try a bunch of different keys/codes 
somewhere? 

to get this right: Node[0x09] is getting "sound" just like 0x0a and 0x0b; 0x0a 
passes the sound to 0x03 (which is surround) and 0x0b passes it to 0x04 (which 
is front speaker).
0x09 should pass the sound to 0x02, then? and is that definitely working, 
making 0x02 the problem? or is maybe 0x09 wrong somehow already?  i don't 
really get the alsa-interna yet. =(

thanks
andy

Hmm, then I have really no clue.
At best, you can try again GPIO pins and reverting COEF setup by my
earlier patch, and try some more adjustments of widgets amp or pinctl
via hda-verb or hda-analyzer...

One another thing we can try is to use only one PCM stream instead of
multi streams.  For example, try the patch below.  This will enable
only the pin for the headphone, thus only one DAC is used.

OK, so actually the driver works as expected, but the hardware doesn't
behave as expected.  For muting the speaker, something else (like
toggling that GPIO) is needed.

The mystery about the silent HP output still remains, though.

GPIO3.

Anyway, I fixed the latest alsa-driver-unstable tree to work without
hda-verb.

I don't figure out the cause yet.

Basically, HP output is always on regardless of jack plugging.
The jack plugging changes only the pin control of speakers.
So, check alsa-info.sh output (or codec#0 proc file) at HP plugged and 
unplugged states and compare the files.  If you see changes in nodes
0x0a and 0x0b (i.e. Pin-ctls becomes 0x00 from 0x40 at HP plugged),
then the driver does the right thing.  Only the hardware doesn't
respond or ignore it.

If nothing changes with HP plugged/unplugged, then either the
unsolicited event isn't generated or the jack detection doesn't work.
In either way, try to run hda-verb like

	hda-verb /dev/snd/hw0C0D0 0x0a SET_PIN_WID 0x00
	hda-verb /dev/snd/hw0C0D0 0x0b SET_PIN_WID 0x00

and see whether the speaker still works.

You can just change the value 0x0f to a different value.
At least, you can try commands like
 	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DATA 0x01
 	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DATA 0x02
 	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DATA 0x04
 	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DATA 0x08
and check the speaker output at each time.
Also, check the GPIO direction,
 	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DIR 0x01
 	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DATA 0x01
 	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DIR 0x02
 	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DATA 0x02
	...

Regarding the headphone: is the speaker muted when you plug in the
headphone?  If not, it's likely an issue of the jack detection.  If
the speaker is muted but no headphone output, it's a missing
initialization (or wrong GPIO setup).

Easy things to test are GPIO bits.  Run hda-verb like

	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_MASK 0x0f
	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DATA 0x0f
or
	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DIR 0x0f
	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 SET_GPIO_DATA 0x0f

etc.  CS4206 seems to have 4 GPIO lines, and each bit (0-3)
corresponds to each GPIO.  In many case, GPIO0 or GPIO1 corresponds to
the amplifier (EAPD) bit.
Define the GPIO direction of each GPIO bit by SET_GPIO_DIR, and
turn on/off the GPIO bits by SET_GPIO_DATA.  Running
	hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x01 GET_GPIO_DATA 0
will show the current GPIO data bits.  Or you can check it in codec#*
proc file.

For my part, nothing worked with the generic driver. I can't confirm
digital out, but I can confirm that the kfree error is gone. What
options are open for figuring out what remains?

Well, did the driver without my change work more or less with
the analog audio, or have you never gotten the analog output?
You can use the generic parser (i.e. the state without cirrus patch)
by passing model=generic option to snd-hda-intel.

The missing pin configuration initialization was already fixed by
the driver overriding it after checking PCI SSID (which is different
from the codec SSID).  So, this should be no problem.

However, the reason why the analog output doesn't work might be
different from that.  There might be something else missing, but I
don't know.

When you run like below
	% aplay -Dplughw -vvv somefile.wav
does it proceed?

If not, it means that the DMA got stuck somewhere.  If it goes,
then the problem is in another place.

TAKASHIIIIIIIIIIIII =)         
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

digital out is working... i tried the new snapshot (eventhough, as you said my 
subsystem is now again uninitialized)  and i got back the alsamixer-
capabilities;

i ran mplayer test.wav and started playing around with the mixer-controls. 

when i reached IEC958 and turned it on, my out-jack began to glow red =) so 
that works.   i rushed over to my dorm-partners speakersystem and plugged it 
in - voila that actually works! (i tried a DTS video with mplayer -vc hwdts )

that is SO cool =)

however as you might've figured out, analog out is not working, yet ;(   i 
tried the built-in speakers as well as the headphones (and of course all the 
devices from aplay -L again)

aplay -l      shows 2 devices now though:

$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: Cirrus Analog [Cirrus Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: Cirrus Digital [Cirrus Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #1


should i try to reboot the machine to get back the other subsystem id? or is 
that irrelevant now?


thanks so much =)

andy

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?

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,

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

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.

The error is strange.  Did you build with --enable-dynamic-minors
configure option?

Otherwise the codec registers look OK.

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

and alsamixer also shows a bunch of channels now as well as 
"Card: HDA NVidia

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 ;)

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

so i tried to find some information in OS X and after a while i stumbled upon a

also some information right out of the apple tool, eventhough i don't think

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

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.

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?
