Project:                    ALSA - driver
Issue ID:                   671
Category:                   PCI - via82xx
Reproducibility:            always
Severity:                   minor
Priority:                   normal
Status:                     new

Summary:                    ALSA sound cuts out w/ message: ALSA
sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Description: 
Particularily noticeable when watching a DVD via xine using AC3 Pass
Through.  Sound will cut out momentarily (usually for no more than a
second).  The skip is always accompanied by multiples of this message in
the /var/log/messages file:

Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer

These messages appear in the log file once or twice a minute although the
sound only noticable cuts out every few minutes .  Very annoying on an
HTPC.

I enabled debugging, but don't see any interesting messages when this
problem occurs.  (I've seen similar invalid ptr messages from the
intel_8x0 code, but they don't always occur in relation to this problem. 
I think the two are separate, though they may be triggered by the same
conditions.)

Hmm, intel8x0 driver doesn't have such messages.

In the case of via82xx, the DMA pointer reported by the hardware is
confused.  It happend often on a machine with broken ACPI support.

Anyway, try to enable POINTER_DEBUG in via82xx.c and recompile the driver.
 Then you'll get more detailed debug information.
Also, please show /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params during the run.

Summary:                    ALSA sound cuts out w/ message: ALSA
sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Description: 
Particularily noticeable when watching a DVD via xine using AC3 Pass
Through.  Sound will cut out momentarily (usually for no more than a
second).  The skip is always accompanied by multiples of this message in
the /var/log/messages file:

Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer

These messages appear in the log file once or twice a minute although the
sound only noticable cuts out every few minutes .  Very annoying on an
HTPC.

Takashi,

I dare say that it looks like you've done it!  I've watched a little over
an hour's worth of video and there hasn't been a single bump in the sound.
 Nor has there been a complaint in the error log!

Outstanding!

Takashi,

I've done some more testing.  This latest patch hasn't completely
mitigated the problem but it has reduced it greatly.  The interruptions
are now much fewer and farther between.  I captured a little debug from
one of the interruptions - it appears a bit different than previous:

Summary:                    ALSA sound cuts out w/ message: ALSA
sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Description: 
Particularily noticeable when watching a DVD via xine using AC3 Pass
Through.  Sound will cut out momentarily (usually for no more than a
second).  The skip is always accompanied by multiples of this message in
the /var/log/messages file:

Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer

These messages appear in the log file once or twice a minute although the
sound only noticable cuts out every few minutes .  Very annoying on an
HTPC.

Takashi,

This looks very promising.  I didn't have a lot of time to check it out
but I did spent a bit and did not experience and of the usual
interruptions in the sound.  I will investigate more this weekend and
provide an update.

Takashi,

I've done some more testing.  This latest patch hasn't completely
mitigated the problem but it has reduced it greatly.  The interruptions
are now much fewer and farther between.  I captured a little debug from
one of the interruptions - it appears a bit different than previous:

These messages appear in the log file once or twice a minute although the

sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Description: 
Particularily noticeable when watching a DVD via xine using AC3 Pass
Through.  Sound will cut out momentarily (usually for no more than a
second).  The skip is always accompanied by multiples of this message in
the /var/log/messages file:

Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer

Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer

These messages appear in the log file once or twice a minute although the
sound only noticable cuts out every few minutes .  Very annoying on an
HTPC.

Takashi,

I'm trying to read the hw_params proc file while playing a DVD - it says
'closed'.  Is there something else I need to do?

I applied the patch to driver v1.0.7 and installed the modules, but the
problem persists:

Dec  7 21:01:08 samwise fail: idx = 0/16, lastpos = 0x1000, bufsize2 =
0x8000, offsize = 0x0, size = 0x1000, count = 0xfe0
Dec  7 21:01:08 samwise fail: idx = 0/16, lastpos = 0x1000, bufsize2 =
0x8000, offsize = 0x0, size = 0x1000, count = 0xfe0
Dec  7 21:01:08 samwise fail: idx = 0/16, lastpos = 0x1000, bufsize2 =
0x8000, offsize = 0x0, size = 0x1000, count = 0xfe0
Dec  7 21:01:08 samwise fail: idx = 0/16, lastpos = 0x1000, bufsize2 =

Thanks,

OK, try the another patch.  This won't fix the behavior but the debug
message must be slightly different.

Could you try the attached patch?

(hw_params proc file can be read only when you're playing sounds, BTW)

Thanks for looking into this.  The information that you requested is below

Summary:                    ALSA sound cuts out w/ message: ALSA
sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Description: 
Particularily noticeable when watching a DVD via xine using AC3 Pass
Through.  Sound will cut out momentarily (usually for no more than a
second).  The skip is always accompanied by multiples of this message in
the /var/log/messages file:

Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer

These messages appear in the log file once or twice a minute although the
sound only noticable cuts out every few minutes .  Very annoying on an
HTPC.

Hmm, intel8x0 driver doesn't have such messages.

In the case of via82xx, the DMA pointer reported by the hardware is
confused.  It happend often on a machine with broken ACPI support.

Anyway, try to enable POINTER_DEBUG in via82xx.c and recompile the driver.
 Then you'll get more detailed debug information.
Also, please show /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params during the run.

tiwai,

Thanks for looking into this.  The information that you requested is below
- captured while playing back a DVD.  Hopefully this is helpful...

# cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params
closed

Here is a snippit from /var/log/message with POINTER_DEBUG enabled:

No, it's not a Realtek chip - ICEnsemble VT1616i is reported.  But the
symptoms do sound very similar to those that you report.  Have you
recompiled your kernel to enable Alsa debugging?  The messages did not
appear in the log until I had enabled this debugging.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 squarooticus - 11-25-04 06:45 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I enabled debugging, but don't see any interesting messages when this
problem occurs.  (I've seen similar invalid ptr messages from the
intel_8x0 code, but they don't always occur in relation to this problem. 
I think the two are separate, though they may be triggered by the same
conditions.)

Ooh!  This sounds a lot like the problem I'm having with my ICH5
(intel_8x0) audio.  See bug
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=589.  Maybe this is a
problem with the AC'97
chip/driver that affects many parent chipsets?  Is there a Realtek AC'97
chip in there?  Look at /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#0-0 (or similar
file).  Mine is a Realtek ALC650F.

sound only noticable cuts out every few minutes .  Very annoying on an
HTPC.
