I hope is that we don't > need the FSYNC as well, that would be rather painful to implement. Am not going to make myself popular here. It's MCLK and FSYNC (or WCLK as it's termed for our device) that is required for SRM to lock in the PLL. So far I've not found a way in the codec driver to be able to get around this. I spent a very long time with Sathya in the early days (Apollo Lake) looking at options but nothing would fit which is why I have the solution that's in place right now. We could probably reduce the number of rechecks before timeout in the driver but that's really just papering over the crack and there's still the possibility of noise later when SRM finally does lock. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
