A NOTE has been added to this issue. ====================================================================== <https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2272> ====================================================================== Reported By: lucabe Assigned To: Clemens Ladisch ====================================================================== Project: ALSA - driver Issue ID: 2272 Category: PCI - bt87x Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: normal Status: assigned Distribution: Debian Kernel Version: all, up to 2.6.18-rc1 ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 07-11-2006 15:14 CEST Last Modified: 07-13-2006 14:40 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: bt87x does not work with osprey230 Description: The osprey 230 card is detected, but the captured analog audio is distorted (with kernel 2.6.18-rc1) or silence (with kernel 2.6.8). alsamixer shows 3 inputs: "TV Tuner", "Mic/Line", and "FM", but the card does not have any tuner or radio device This happens on x86 systems (I tried some different P4 or celeron machines) with the kernel provided by Debian Sarge (2.6.8), but also with very recent kernels. I just tried with a 2.6.18-rc1 kernel compiled from scratch. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucabe - 07-13-06 11:46 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, I did some experiments, and it seems that: 1) The "analog DSP" of the osprey230 is connected to nothing 2) After the bttv module is loaded, the analog input of the card can be captured from the "digital DSP" 3) The "digital_rate=32000" option has to be forced when loading snd-bt87x, otherwise audio is captured at the wrong rate 4) The captured audio is still very distorted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lucabe - 07-13-06 14:40 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, after some other work I discovered how to eliminate the distorsion in the captured audio: it seems that something like this patch fixes the problem: diff -urp -X linux-2.6.18-rc1/Documentation/dontdiff linux-2.6.18-rc1/sound/pci/bt87x.c linux-2.6.18-rc1-mine/sound/pci/bt87x.c --- linux-2.6.18-rc1/sound/pci/bt87x.c 2006-07-06 06:09:49.000000000 +0200 +++ linux-2.6.18-rc1-mine/sound/pci/bt87x.c 2006-07-13 11:32:23.000000000 +0200 @@ -354,7 +354,7 @@ static int snd_bt87x_set_digital_hw(stru }; int i; - chip->reg_control |= CTL_DA_IOM_DA; + chip->reg_control |= CTL_DA_IOM_DA | (1 << 16); runtime->hw = snd_bt87x_digital_hw; runtime->hw.rates = SNDRV_PCM_RATE_KNOT; for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(ratebits); ++i) @@ -380,7 +380,7 @@ static int snd_bt87x_set_analog_hw(struc .rats = &analog_clock }; - chip->reg_control &= ~CTL_DA_IOM_DA; + chip->reg_control &= ~(CTL_DA_IOM_DA | (1 << 16)); runtime->hw = snd_bt87x_analog_hw; return snd_pcm_hw_constraint_ratnums(runtime, 0, SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_RATE, &constraint_rates); Now, can anyone help me in understanding what that | (1 << 16) means? Does anyone know where I can find the specifications for the BT878 chip? Is anyone interested in having a working snd-bt87x driver, or should I just patch my kernel locally without disturbing you anymore?
