[Alsa-user] CS4281 stuttering on ARM
Hi, I have a CS4281 controller with a CS4297A codec on a ipdx425 ARM (running in big endian mode) system with Linux 2.6.20.3 and I'm having some problem getting the sound to work correctly. I have cross compiled the driver, lib and utility package and insmoded the modules without any complaints and I have set up the asoundrc file according to http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cs4281. But when I try to initialize the card with alsactl init I get: Unknown hardware: CS4281 Cirrus Logic CS4299 rev 4 AC97a:43525934 0x 0x Hardware is initialized using a guess method Yet channels and such seems to be turned on correctly when I check it with amixer. However when I try to play a wav file using aplay (for example the Side_Right.wav that comes with alsa) all sound I get is a stuttering Sa sa sa sa sa sa sa that eventually turns into a id id id id id id id... and just continue like that seemingly forever. Anyone that could give me some advice on what I might have done wrong or forgotten? Thanks /Leon Ljunggren -- Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.

[Alsa-user] How to reorder channels?
Greetings,
Someone has proposed a great idea recently: what if it were possible to play
two audio tracks of a video file simultaneously, for example, when several
people want to watch a film, but some want it translated and someone
understands the film’s original language and prefers that track?
To implement that, one needs ALSA to have distinct devices for headphones and
speakers, and one has to configure the media player accordingly.
Could you please tell me how does one perform the first part of the task? I’ve
done a lot of research/RTFM, but none of my solutions were satisfactory.
(The second part: http://rsdn.ru/forum/message/3283171.1.aspx (in Russian). If
someone’s interested, I can elaborate.)
I have an Intel HDA physical device (the one built into Asus P5GD1
motherboard), which has eight channels (7.1), to which six (5.1) speakers are
connected and also the headphones. ALSA thinks the headphones and the front
channel of the speakers are the same, and I failed to configure it otherwise.
However, because a pair of outputs (namely, the side channel) is free, an
obvious solution would be to plug the front speakers there and have ALSA
redirect the channels 0/1 to 6/7. I’m stuck with this seemingly trivial task
though. If I use the route plugin, then two programs can’t output sound
simultaneously, even if they use different channels. If I choose dshare, then
it works, but mixing is gone: only one program can use a given channel, and
Amarok won’t even start. If I use dmix, then I get annoying clicks every
second or even more often.
Each of the asoundrc snippets below works in the sense aplay -D headphones,
mplayer -ao alsa:device=speakers produce sound as intended, but each suffers
from one of the above drawbacks. With the default settings mixing is
completely OK; how do I just rearrange audio channels?
http://qwertty.com/tmp/alsa-info.txt is available, though I don’t think it’s
needed.
