3.19 on Nokia n900: audio quality awful

3.19 on Nokia n900: audio quality awful

[Pavel Machek]

Hi!

In 3.18, sound is nice and clear.

In 3.19, sound is unusable. It produces nasty tone when it should be
quiet, and there's at least as much noise as is sound.

Unfortunately, list of mixers also changed (and there's cca 120
settings), but a) it does not work with the old list and b) nothing I
could figure out did make the sound usable. Some setting resulted in
even more noise.

Any idea what could have caused it?

Thanks,
								Pavel

$ git bisect start
$ git bisect good v3.18
$ git bisect bad

that'll help find what caused it.

Telling someone to do hard and time consuming job that probably will
not succeed, instead of actually providing help. Very very funny.

you're getting code for free, you're getting help for free. Not many
people have N900s lying around. Running a bisection is just politeness.

Then how do you know it changed from v3.18 to v3.19-rc ? Certainly you
ran v3.18 on N900 to verify that audio quality was better with that
kernel. Use the very same method during bisection.

No, sorry, I don't think that would be reasonable use of my time at
this point. First steps are "confirm it happens on other N900 boards,
too", ruling out config issues at my part, and "try to get
verification from other development boards if they have same
problems", because most other boards are easier to work with.

USB networking works fine with 3.19-rc3 and also MMC card rootfs.

Does nfsroot work for you? USB networking works as a module but not
build-in. [Patch is available for this one.]

u-SD card seems to have similar problem. If I try it after boot, I can
access it ok, but using u-SD card for rootfs fails. If it works for
you, it would be interesting to know.

I'm loading zImage using 0xffff directly from the PC.

For the audio: this should do the trick:


root@n900:~# uname -a
Linux n900 3.18.0-omap3-69644-g0ed746d #837 PREEMPT Sun Jan 4 22:30:24
CET 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux
root@n900:~# alsactl init
Found hardware: "RX-51" "" "" "" ""
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
root@n900:~# cat /etc/debian_version
7.7
root@n900:~# mplayer /my2/*

(audio actually works).

I do have Pali's n900 changes applied. I guess I should try without
them. Let me know if .config would help you.

I haven't tried nfsroot, but I've been using USB networking for ssh
for a couple of years without issues. I have g_ether as module.

Also I recently switched rootfs to u-SD card, and it (MMC) works fine
as builtin.

But I'm mounting it from userspace (using builtin initramfs inside
zImage), with a poll loop that waits for a device to appear. Maybe if you
do it from kernel you need to use root wait/delay etc. options?

AFAIK you need to use rootwait and make USB into loadable modules.
Built in Ethernet won't work without the patch I posted earlier.

No, rootwait does not solve it. Try it. Tested many times. (And yes,
you need to actually fool the rear cover sensor or close the phone.)

yeah, just put a magnet or, if you have spare back covers, cut one so
that you "close" it, but still allow you to put the thing on a
development jig.

Also, if why doesn't rootwait work ? You never have a new mmc node or is
the mmc node changing names ?

Also, if why doesn't rootwait work ? You never have a new mmc node or is

yeah, just put a magnet or, if you have spare back covers, cut one so
that you "close" it, but still allow you to put the thing on a
development jig.

Actually, it should be enough to kill a line from dts somewhere, no
need to hack hardware for this.

IIRC node and name are ok, but the mount just fails. As I don't have
"development jig", I lack serial console and this kind of debugging is
not easy.

Yes, it works if I mount it later. It fails when done directly using
root=, even with rootwait etc. Hard to believe, yes, but try it. You
can watch the results on console.

Well, I tried and it works. 3.19-rc3 mounting logs are below.

I used "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait". Note that the external MMC
is "mmcblk0" from kernel point of view.

Without serial console I guess you could maybe capture the failure
logs using mtdoops (assuming the kernel panics when it fails to mount
the rootfs). mtdoops was used even in the sales model kernel, so there
is MTD partition reserved already for it called "log".

I would also recommend using initramfs to do the mounting etc. Then you
could use the framebuffer console to observe and debug some obvious issues
(assuming the framebuffer works, it often regresses unfortunately...).

No, that was actually really a good advice. You should try to bisect it.
It doesn't take that long (I assume you are cross-compiling instead
of doing native builds), also Linux maintainers are generally doing
a very good job ensuring the tree is bisectable.

I would do it myself, but so far I never have set up my N900 to play
any audio and I don't have any reference points between "good" or "bad".

No, that was actually really a good advice. You should try to bisect it.
It doesn't take that long (I assume you are cross-compiling instead
of doing native builds), also Linux maintainers are generally doing
a very good job ensuring the tree is bisectable.

I would do it myself, but so far I never have set up my N900 to play
any audio and I don't have any reference points between "good" or "bad".

Hi!

If you have any idea about playback problems, help would be still
welcome. I'll have to do bisect, otherwise, and it will not be easy.

I tried audio recording this time.

In 2.6.28-nokia, it is neccessary to set "Input select" na "digital
mic", then it works. Input select being in "playback" option makes it
easy to miss.

In 3.18 and 3.19-rc3, all I can record are zeros.

Does playback/recording work for you on OMAP 3430-based machines?

Thanks,

Same codec (tlv320aic3106) works fine on my am335x and omap-l138 boards.
BeagleBoard-xM also fine with twl4030 codec.

I don't have my n900 in hacking mode (it is still in use time-to-time) but
looking at the dts file: you might want to add ai3x-micbias-vg property to the
aic3x nodes to select the correct mic bias voltage. I can't recall what is
appropriate for n900, but 2.6.28-nokia sources might give you the answer.

No need to go that far. N900 has been supported in mainline since 2.6.39
or so. Part A of AIC34 (which is basically dual AIC33 in a same package)
drives 2 V for the digital microphone bias and part B 2.5 V for the headset.

Unfortunately I haven't had time recently to try what might have caused
that regression after 3.18.

Main or integrated is digital microphone which does AD conversion itself
and headset is analogue. If DMIC is without bias codec will sample plain
zeros from DMIC input but analogue input should always produce some random
LSB bits from codec's AD converter.

If codec produces zeros also from analogue input then I suppose codec
ADC is not powered up or similar. One way to hunt regression if
bisecting is not possible due reason or another is to dump and diff codec
registers from /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/ using both working commit and head.

This should be 2, i.e. 2.5 V according to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/tlv320aic3x.txt. I think 2 V is
too low for some headset mics and that was the reason for 2.5 V.

Main or integrated is digital microphone which does AD conversion itself
and headset is analogue. If DMIC is without bias codec will sample plain
zeros from DMIC input but analogue input should always produce some random
LSB bits from codec's AD converter.

If codec produces zeros also from analogue input then I suppose codec
ADC is not powered up or similar. One way to hunt regression if
bisecting is not possible due reason or another is to dump and diff codec
registers from /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/ using both working commit and head.

I tried 2.6.28... where recording was, but it does not support
regmap. Then I tried 3.14, but could not get recording to work there.

Yes, with the patch below (and dts updates I did) recording works.

Another interesting note is that audio quality is not that horrible
when playing 8 kHz, mono signal... it is mostly what I'd
expect. Playing 44.1kHz, stereo mp3 .. is not good.

Yes, with the patch below (and dts updates I did) recording works.

Another interesting note is that audio quality is not that horrible
when playing 8 kHz, mono signal... it is mostly what I'd
expect. Playing 44.1kHz, stereo mp3 .. is not good.

Hi!

I looked around the diff between 3.18 and 3.19, reverted these, and
audio quality is back to reasonable level.

    ASoC: tlv320aic3x: Cleanup manual bias level transitions

    Since the ASoC core now takes care of setting the bias level to

        do it manually
	    anymore.

Actually, reverting 368494093354ac613a80c2e1d77602aa12473cf0 seems
enough.

Any quick patches to test? Or should we revert so that 3.19-final
works ok?
