* Roland/Edirol M-16DX @ 2015-10-23 8:27 Ricard Wanderlof 2015-10-23 11:01 ` Clemens Ladisch 0 siblings, 1 reply; 21+ messages in thread From: Ricard Wanderlof @ 2015-10-23 8:27 UTC (permalink / raw) To: alsa-devel The Roland/Edirol M-16DX is a digital mixer which can also function as a 18 channel capture / 2 channel playback USB 2.0 interface. The device has been added to quirks-table.h and has been reported as working with one problem: when playing back there's severe audio distortion at regular intervals (several seconds), which has been traced to the fact that the device utilizes the IN endpoint as an implicit feedback channel; see the output from lsusb -vvv from a 7 year old post by Lasse Kärkkäinen below for reference: > Bus 007 Device 025: ID 0582:00c4 Roland Corp. > Device Descriptor: > bLength 18 > bDescriptorType 1 > bcdUSB 2.00 > bDeviceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class > bDeviceSubClass 0 > bDeviceProtocol 255 > bMaxPacketSize0 64 > idVendor 0x0582 Roland Corp. > idProduct 0x00c4 > bcdDevice 0.00 > iManufacturer 1 EDIROL > iProduct 2 M-16DX > iSerial 0 > bNumConfigurations 1 > Configuration Descriptor: > bLength 9 > bDescriptorType 2 > wTotalLength 167 > bNumInterfaces 3 > bConfigurationValue 1 > iConfiguration 0 > bmAttributes 0xc0 > Self Powered > MaxPower 0mA > Interface Descriptor: > bLength 9 > bDescriptorType 4 > bInterfaceNumber 0 > bAlternateSetting 0 > bNumEndpoints 0 > bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class > bInterfaceSubClass 1 > bInterfaceProtocol 2 > iInterface 0 > ** UNRECOGNIZED: 06 24 f1 01 00 00 > Interface Descriptor: > bLength 9 > bDescriptorType 4 > bInterfaceNumber 0 > bAlternateSetting 1 > bNumEndpoints 1 > bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class > bInterfaceSubClass 2 > bInterfaceProtocol 2 > iInterface 0 > ** UNRECOGNIZED: 07 24 01 01 00 01 00 > ** UNRECOGNIZED: 0b 24 02 01 02 04 18 01 80 bb 00 > Endpoint Descriptor: > bLength 7 > bDescriptorType 5 > bEndpointAddress 0x02 EP 2 OUT > bmAttributes 5 > Transfer Type Isochronous > Synch Type Asynchronous > Usage Type Data > wMaxPacketSize 0x0038 1x 56 bytes > bInterval 1 > Interface Descriptor: > bLength 9 > bDescriptorType 4 > bInterfaceNumber 1 > bAlternateSetting 0 > bNumEndpoints 0 > bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class > bInterfaceSubClass 1 > bInterfaceProtocol 2 > iInterface 0 > Interface Descriptor: > bLength 9 > bDescriptorType 4 > bInterfaceNumber 1 > bAlternateSetting 1 > bNumEndpoints 1 > bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class > bInterfaceSubClass 2 > bInterfaceProtocol 1 > iInterface 0 > ** UNRECOGNIZED: 07 24 01 07 00 01 00 > ** UNRECOGNIZED: 0b 24 02 01 12 04 18 01 80 bb 00 > Endpoint Descriptor: > bLength 7 > bDescriptorType 5 > bEndpointAddress 0x81 EP 1 IN > bmAttributes 37 > Transfer Type Isochronous > Synch Type Asynchronous > Usage Type Implicit feedback Data > wMaxPacketSize 0x01f8 1x 504 bytes > bInterval 1 > Interface Descriptor: > bLength 9 > bDescriptorType 4 > bInterfaceNumber 2 > bAlternateSetting 0 > bNumEndpoints 2 > bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class > bInterfaceSubClass 1 > bInterfaceProtocol 3 > iInterface 0 > ** UNRECOGNIZED: 06 24 f1 02 01 01 > Endpoint Descriptor: > bLength 7 > bDescriptorType 5 > bEndpointAddress 0x04 EP 4 OUT > bmAttributes 2 > Transfer Type Bulk > Synch Type None > Usage Type Data > wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes > bInterval 1 > Endpoint Descriptor: > bLength 7 > bDescriptorType 5 > bEndpointAddress 0x83 EP 3 IN > bmAttributes 2 > Transfer Type Bulk > Synch Type None > Usage Type Data > wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes > bInterval 1 > Interface Descriptor: > bLength 9 > bDescriptorType 4 > bInterfaceNumber 2 > bAlternateSetting 1 > bNumEndpoints 2 > bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class > bInterfaceSubClass 1 > bInterfaceProtocol 3 > iInterface 0 > Endpoint Descriptor: > bLength 7 > bDescriptorType 5 > bEndpointAddress 0x04 EP 4 OUT > bmAttributes 2 > Transfer Type Bulk > Synch Type None > Usage Type Data > wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes > bInterval 1 > Endpoint Descriptor: > bLength 7 > bDescriptorType 5 > bEndpointAddress 0x83 EP 3 IN > bmAttributes 3 > Transfer Type Interrupt > Synch Type None > Usage Type Data > wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes > bInterval 1 On Fri, 14 Nov 2008, Clemens confirmed this in a post: > James Trevelyan wrote: > > ... > > However, what I did notice is that in all circumstances the windows > > driver was capturing at the same time as playback, even when I was not > > asking it to record.

I'm not sure what you mean, is there a bug that fails to detect when it is necessary to use implcit feedback specifically when using Roland devices? So that when using an M-16DX despite the endpoint desciptor specifying Asynchronous and Implicit feedback it fails to enable that mode? E.g. something related to the fact that these devices need entries in the quirks table rather than being class compliant? /Ricard -- Ricard Wolf Wanderlöf ricardw(at)axis.com Axis Communications AB, Lund, Sweden www.axis.com Phone +46 46 272 2016 Fax +46 46 13 61 30 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

Sounds like something that shouldn't be too hard to fix given a device at hand as well as a couple of hours of debugging time then. Any more ideas of what the problem is? E.g. because for whatever reason it's not enough to have an entry in the quirks table, or something else completely (like the number of capture and playback channels being different)? /Ricard -- Ricard Wolf Wanderlöf ricardw(at)axis.com Axis Communications AB, Lund, Sweden www.axis.com Phone +46 46 272 2016 Fax +46 46 13 61 30 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

I finally got my hands on an M-16DX yesterday, and was preparing myself for some initial research into this problem. Connected the device and used some DAW software (Ardour 3) to record and playback about half a minute of audio. No glitches whatsoever, neither in capture or playback. So I thought, perhaps a DAW always opens the device for recording and playback and hence there's always a feedback channel open. So I tried just playing back a 7 minute wav file using aplay instead. Again, no glitches in the resulting audio. More tests are needed - I only used 44.1 kHz sample rate for instance - but have I just been extremely lucky with the sample clocks so they match up precisely (if that even would work), or could the problem have magically fixed itself (ok, more realistically, as a result of something else getting fixed)? /Ricard -- Ricard Wolf Wanderlöf ricardw(at)axis.com Axis Communications AB, Lund, Sweden www.axis.com Phone +46 46 272 2016 Fax +46 46 13 61 30 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

It would be much easier if you got Roland to give you a detailed spec on the protocol. Ask their customer support for Linux drivers. Tell them you'll write a driver if you get the specs and then send the specs to GregKH's free Linux drivers group. Once you get a spec it shouldn't be too hard to write a driver unless they did something really crazy. Open then box up and look at the chip labels. They could just be obscuring something that already has a driver by changing the USB profile. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

Playback also works, but there is a severe three second distortion in audio once every 30 seconds, at 48 kHz. This seems to be related to the device sampling rate, as the cycle is only 15 seconds when the device is running at 96 kHz. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

Well, your previous post says nothing useful, whether the patch works or not, so I assumed that it's just a dead end without any answer. If it's a positive result, then please give the precise information again. No information came out on alsa-devel ML yet, unfortunately (at least it didn't reach to me). thanks, Takashi ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

Playback also works, but there is a severe three second distortion in audio once every 30 seconds, at 48 kHz. This seems to be related to the device sampling rate, as the cycle is only 15 seconds when the device is running at 96 kHz. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@alsa-project.org http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel [-- Attachment #3: Liitetty viesti --] [-- Type: message/rfc822, Size: 2945 bytes --] From: James Trevelyan <james@jamestrev.com> To: "Lasse Kärkkäinen" <tronic+cv5n@trn.iki.fi> Cc: alsa-devel@alsa-project.org, clemens@ladisch.de, james@jamestrevelyan.com, timc@wnsp.com Subject: Re: [alsa-devel] Roland/Edirol M-16DX Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 00:55:01 +0000 Message-ID: <1226624101.4836.95.camel@localhost> On Thu, 2008-11-13 at 20:12 +0200, Lasse Kärkkäinen wrote: > Has anyone been able to solve the distortion problem yet? > > It seems like a broken ringbuffer implementation.

The driver would have to send the data at the exact speed of the device's internal clock, and the only way to determine that clock's speed is to capture data. So far I haven't found the time to rewrite the driver to support this synchronization mechanism.

OK, the problem is known. The similar problem appears on other devices, AFAIK. So, what should we do now? If you guys are OK to merge even a known-to-be-buggy (but somehow works), I'm going to add it.

But the playback isn't disabled. > Most importantly make sure that hardware support databases don't mark > this device as fully operational.
