Hi,
many thanks for all your advices!
Indeed, it was a IRQ problem, which was solved automatically when I
plugged in the terratec Xfire soundcard from my old PC. The BIOS
reassigned the IRQs and now the onboard sound works, too.
What I've tested so far:
* aplay works
* ac3dec works perfectly
Hi,
I've described my problem some days ago on the user list, but it seems
like no user knows a solution to this -- which is no big surprise as the
hardware I'm using is quite new.
Perhaps one of the developers can help out.
Here a short summary of the problem:
(details, logs, etc. can be
Hi,
this is not a *very* important issue, but the problem should be solved
quite easy:
For me, 4channel output (indep. front and rear output) works with the
Terratec XFire (cs46xx), but for some not -- at least not without
modifying the driver.
for the problem description see:
Tataaa!
I got output of 4 independent channels from my XFire for the first time
under linux!

Hi Benny,
I just tested your patches with my terratec DMX XFire 1024. Rear channel

I always get the same output out of both output jacks when I play back
on hw:0,0 (should be on the first/front output only, I assume).
I can't hear anything from the analog

Thank you very much for your work!
The last patch solved the problem. No system hangs anymore. Looking

Exactly the same problem for me.
./configure fails for alsa-oss-0.9.0rc1 (extracted from

Too bad Cirrus doesn't like it's circuits to be used. Why can't they
just release the source code of the driver for this CS4624/4630. I
thought this circuit wasn't up to date any more. Maybe there are too

Hi Benny,
I tested your patch and phase reversals are gone now. That's fine so
far. But to apply your patch I had to install a version newer than rc6.
I downloaded the cvs snapshot 2002-12-09.tar.bz2 and installed it
successfully. After that the SPDIF ac3 mode switch is gone (like with

Hi Kevin, hi Benny,
with your changes applied, now both PCM channels have the same phase
with my XFire. The stereo image makes much more sense that way :-).
Thanks a lot!
What I've noticed: Switching the 'PCM Out' control from 'pre 3D' to
'post 3D' inverts the sign of both lr channels.
Hi Benny,
I noticed the phase reversal problem with my Terratec XFire, too: I
played a mono wav. Then I combined the left and rigth output
electrically and the sound was gone, i.e. one channel outputs the sound
with a sign change, so that left+right=signal+(-signal)=0. The sound
went back

Hi Benny,
regarding your cs46xx DSP and codec list:
AFAIK the Xfire card has got a CS4624 DSP, not a CS4630. The main (only?)
difference should be the processing power (CS4624: 255MIPS, CS4630: 420MIPS).
I think the CS4630 can handle AC3 input through S/P-DIF whereas the CS4624
does not (because
