Hi,

I recently installed an Asus M4N78 mainboard, that uses a
nVidia GeForce 8300 chipset and a VT1708S soundchip.

Alas, the code in pci/hda/patch_via.c did not recognize
the 3 existing iec958/spdif outputs, and presented only
the analog devices.

I had to short circuit the pin definition
in vt1708S_parse_auto_config() to get the digital outputs
to work:

         spec->multiout.max_channels = spec->multiout.num_dacs * 2;

-       if (spec->autocfg.dig_out_pin)
+       // test fails for Asus M4N78 if (spec->autocfg.dig_out_pin)
                 spec->multiout.dig_out_nid = VT1708S_DIGOUT_NID;

         spec->extra_dig_out_nid = 0x15;

The digital sound output works just fine for me with this change,
but I guess there should be a cleaner way to make this work?

Several people in forums on the InterNet reported similar problems
with getting their digital outputs on VT1708S to work under Linux.

Regards,

Peter Niemayer

Could you run alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option, and attach the
generated file?

Fix your BIOS :)

Or, having a static quirk table in the driver would be another and
more reasonable option.  Usually we check PCI SSID to identify the
model.

BTW, the pin configuration can be overridden via hwdep sysfs files
in the latest version, too.  Check Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt.


thanks,

Takashi

Hi Peter,

I'm a relative Linux newbie trying to get away from Windows.  But longtime
computer geek.  I have an issue with my Asus M4A78 (same as yours but ATI
graphics), that the LFE channel works in speaker-test but has no output from
applications (even when they should output 5.1, like a DVD in VLC).

I believe that some layer, maybe even the hw, is remixing to 5 (minus the .1)
without being asked, as even CD sound plays over all five speakers.  And there
is no gui configuration program I can find to specify such a remixing (which I
am sure the soundcard is capable of).

Currently I am trying an upgrade (via script from ubuntu forums) to the latest
Alsa, from .18 to .19.  If that doesn't resolve (and I don't expect it to): I am
curious if you got 5.1 working properly with your soundcard.  Also the SPDIF
would be an option for me, can I ask the location of that code you mentioned? 
(If it's a config file and you wouldn't mind posting yours, would be fantastic).

I have been under the impression that the 1708S is not explicitly supported by
Alsa, because it's not yet listed in the Alsa-project homepage list  :-/

Many thanks,
Dave

Wiki is extremely outdated and incomplete since nobody is actively
maintaining it. VT1708S is supported, thanks to contributions from
VIA. However, quirky boards might not be fully working.

Maybe reporting BIOS bug to ASUS would help, but I wouldn't bet on that.

Yes, find attached the output.
Please notice that this output was generated while my
patch...

... was in place and thus the digital outputs were available (and working).
(Otherwise, no digital outputs would have been reported)

Last time I asked Asus to fix a BIOS (regarding ACPI tables
of a notebook) the effort was futile :-(

That would be much appreciated.

I must admit that after reading the section "HD-Audio Reconfiguration"
in this file, it is not quite clear to me how this could be done.

Changing the abovementioned single source line was much easier for me... ;-)

Thanks.  It looks like actually a bug in the driver side.
It doesn't handle multiple SPDIF properly.

Could you try the patch below?  It's against the latest sound git tree,
but likely applicable to a bit older one, too.

Your patch to patch_via.c was applicable (with a little manual
help from my side) to the 2.6.29 sources, but it seems to depend on
an earlier git commit of yours regarding multi-digital-out support,
and that patch (which I found in a git browser on the web) is
not applicable to the 2.6.29 sources, there are lots of rejections.

Is there a way to pull just the sound/pci/hda subdirectory from
your repository (without cloning the whole 150MB repository)?
Or can you just mail me a .tar.bz2 of the relevant kernel source
subdirectory?

Thanks a lot for your efforts!

Regards,

Peter Niemayer

In that case, you can build ALSA modules externally from alsa-driver
tarball.  Grab the snapshot version from
    ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz

I did that - this version works well for me. Thanks for your efforts!

(There is a minor glitch persistent that wasn't existing with
  my older AC97 based hardware: When pausing an AC3 stream
  to the amplifier, then resuming the playback, there is a loud
  "click" in the beginning as if there was a broken data packet
  sent to the amplifier - but one with a correct checksum, that
  has to be, as otherwise, the amplifier would not have played
  it. Or maybe the amp is misinterpreting some AC3 data as being PCM,
  but that wasn't the case with the previous audio card, though
  the software and the amp were the same.)

Regards,

Peter Niemayer

If it's really an ALSA module (not soundcore), it's often because you
didn't unload some old modules before loading a new one.

Also, if the old modules are also update modules located in
/lib/modules/$VERSION/update or so, then the old modules will still
win over the newly installed one in
/lib/modules/$VERSION/kernel/sound/*.  IIRC, Ubuntu or some others
install the update modules there.  In such a case, you'll need to
specify the installation path explicitly via configure option, too.

If it's the sound core, you need to make sure that this is really
built in, either into the kernel or as a module.  And, the kernel tree
really points to the version you are running.  There are symbols to be
referred, so it's not only the source you need to build external
modules.

At best, you should consult on user forum (or such) for your own
distro, since this topic is really distro-specific.

I guess you are looking at a wrong place.
The fix must be coincident :)

Basically alsa-driver (and kernel) compilation doesn't use any
user-space library, so libpath is irrelevant.  The only important
location is the kernel source tree and its build stub.  If these
aren't set up properly, such an error (version mismatch or so) may
happen.

Note that sound_register_special() and co aren't defined in the ALSA
driver, but it's defined in sound_core.c in the kernel.

Okay I figured out my own problem. 

 

This is specific to those who run 64bit OS.

 

for anyone who is getting register_sound_special_device error when
attempting to compile ALSA, on a 64 bit OS make sure your running your
configure properly.  Most likely your distro has ALSA libraries located in
the /usr/lib64 path not in /usr/lib and most likely the ld.so.conf is set to
look in /usr/lib64 before it searches /usr/lib which is the default for  the
configure script.  As a warning I'd not try to change that order especially
if you have built any 32bit compatibility drivers into /usr/lib

 

./configure -prefix=/usr/lib64

 

Although it wouldn't be a bad idea for the configure to detect that if
possible.
