snd-hdsp driver error?

snd-hdsp driver error?

[Lars Zobbe]

Hi.

Talking to one of the pulseaudio developers (*Colin Guthrie*) about a
problem with pulseaudio loading modules and my sound card (RME HDSP 9632), I
was adviced to inform you about the problem.

I'm on ubuntu 9.10, 64bit, kernel 2.6.31 with an amd64 x2 3800+ processor.


Symptoms are:
Can only make pulseaudio load modules with the deprecated load-module
module-detect command, module-udev-detect doesn't detect anything (no sound
- only null sink output in padevchooser).
I get terrible stuttering.
I can remove pulseaudio and make things work, more or less. However, that
leaves me without software mixing and apps fighting for the rights to make
sound. And more inconveniences (fx. no volume-control).
I can play sound from audacity without stuttering by choosing the cardname
directly in output HDSP, not ALSA, not pulseaudio.


When trying to run alsa-info.sh I get a lot of "not found" errors. So you'll
get some manual info (they might have moved som files around in ubuntu
9.10).

This is part of my syslog during a boot. (I did the formatting to bold).

Here's the relevant part (concerning my sound card) of lspci -vvv

And of course. My computer makes no sound if I don't load the hdspmixer at

Please let me know, if you need more info. I really hope you can help out
here. And that this might help you to.

Thanks for the great work you do. Greetings.

Re: snd-hdsp driver error?

[Raymond Yau]

I guess route plugin used by RME96*.conf does not support mmap when there is
channel conversion since minimum channels supported by hdsp is 14

pulseaudio -k; pulseaudio -vvv

and

aplay -v -Dfront:0 32bit.wav

Re: snd-hdsp driver error?

[Lars Zobbe]

Thanks Raymound. I've attached the outputs in 2 separate files, one with
alsa-info and the other 5 command in another file.

I'm not sure alsa-info ran as it was supposed to. The output was rather
short as you can se in the attached file en in the terminal I got this:

[Lars Zobbe]

Sorry. I didn't realise that it was a bash script. Here is the link to my
alsa-info
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d3728557be71067e2ed0920747118ae7efff2829

Thanks again.
Lars.

Re: snd-hdsp driver error?

[Raymond Yau]

AFAIK , alsa-lib use the driver name to find the name of corresponding
conf file from /usr/share/alsa/cards/aliases.conf
In your case , H-DSP.conf does not exist and there is no aliases in
/usr/share/alsa/cards/aliases.conf

You have to ask Takashi or Jaroslav to fix this issue for your card

open("/usr/share/alsa/cards/aliases.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3


access("/usr/share/alsa/cards/H-DSP.conf", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC1", O_RDONLY)    = 3
close(3)                                = 0


write(2, "ALSA lib confmisc.c:1286:(snd_fu"..., 42ALSA lib
confmisc.c:1286:(snd_func_refer) ) = 42
write(2, "Unable to find definition 'cards"..., 58Unable to find
definition 'cards.H-DSP.pcm.front.0:CARD=0') = 58
write(2, "\n", 1

Re: snd-hdsp driver error?

[Raymond Yau]

Not sure the H-DSP.conf uploaded by tom-ipp is OK since I don't have this
card

https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4650

http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/564

The problem of using your card with pulseaudio

1) No front device defined
2) No master volume control
3) The card only support SNDRV_PCM_INFO_NONINTERLEAVED but seem PA only
support SNDRV_PCM_INFO_INTERLEAVED
4) PA expect your card support stereo but your card did not support stereo

Finally I can catch up pending posts...

For hdsp, there is no clear definition for "front" or any surround
outputs due to the nature of the hardware.  So, getting an error isn't
a bug in this case.

PA should fall back into "hw" if all such pre-defined PCMs are not
available.  So, this is no critical situation for PA.
The problem is somewhere else.

Re: snd-hdsp driver error?

[Lars Zobbe]

Thanks a lot Takashi and Raymond.

I guess that means the fix from tom-ipp, that Raymond referred to, won't
work. So what can I do to help you fix this. Do you want me to try and run
something? I would be pleased to help out.
When you say "the problem is somewhere else". Do you have an idea about
where that could be?

Greetings
Lars.

if your hdsp works , this mean that this is a bug introduced at pulseaudio
since 0.9.15 ( working profile )

I guess none of PA develpers had your card ,

if you want the pulseaudio bug fixed ,

you will need to post the output of full pulseaudio log of module-alsa-sink
( pulseaudio -k;pulseaudio -vvvvv ) and the outout of aplay -v -Dplughw:0,0
any.wav

in the pulseaudio bug tracker

 so that PA developer can compare with the non-working pulseaudio log
