Hi there,
I'm looking at the following patch commited a while ago:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kerne...ec6d72cad56bcc
We have the following board: PPM_GX:
http://www.pc104plus.com/products/PPM-GX500.cfm
With kernel 2.6.13.27(prior to the patch), we had no problem adjusting line out volume via /dev/mixer and playing via /dev/dsp.
With kernel 2.6.29.6/30.5/31-rc9(therefore with the patch) we are unable to adjust volume via /dev/dsp. Playing via /dev/dsp is possible but require some trick. Here is what we have found:
Before, we were able to set output level via SOUND_MIXER_VOLUME and SOUND_MIXER_PCM of the /dev/mixer. Any modification to these level where seen on the AC97 chip via /proc/asound/card0/codec97\#0/ac97\#0-0\+regs on register 02 and 18 respectively.
On the newest kernel, modification to:
SOUND_MIXER_VOLUME does not seem to be reflected on AC97
SOUND_MIXER_PCM seems to affect reg 18(OK)
SOUND_MIXER_ALTPCM seems to affect reg 04
Trying as many as I can SOUND_MIXER combination, I can never affect regs 02 of the AC97(main out). Compiling kernel with debug for the /proc/asound/card0/codec97\#0/ac97\#0-0\+regs, I can set he regs 02 using:
Echo 02 0303 > /proc/asound/card0/codec97\#0/ac97\#0-0\+regs
But that is not very convenient.
Reverting the patch to against 2.6.29.6 solve our issue.
What would be require so that our board works with a vanilla kernel?
Whom should I contact to work on the problem with? How to get in touch with kernel driver's developer?
Thanks
