2009-06-02ALSA: hda - Acer Aspire 8930G supportHector Martin1-0/+1
Short story: this laptop has 5.1 built-in speakers which you *really* want to use (the not-so-"sub" woofer is what makes the audio above average for a laptop), so 6-channel support is important (plus a decent asound.conf to upmix stereo). It also has the 3 typical jacks that ought to have a selectable mode. And it's based on ALC889, which sucks. Rationale/explanations: The const_channel_count stuff was added because, for a laptop like this, you always have 6 channels available (internal speakers) but still need to set the mode for the 3 external jacks. Therefore, the device always needs to be in 6-channel mode but there still needs to be a mixer control for the jack mode. You could use line/mic-in at the same time as the 6 internal speakers, for example. You might be tempted to make it even smarter by dynamically switching the max channel count when headphones are plugged in (therefore muting the internal speakers and reducing the physical channel count to the jack channel mode), but as a user I consider this to be harmful because I want the audio to blow up to 6 channels / upmixed as soon as I unplug the headphones, and having opened the device while in 2-channel mode would prevent this from working (and always making 6-channel mode available doesn't do any harm). The hardware needs EAPD turned on and the DACs routed to the internal speaker pins, so the patch adds those verbs. The ALC889 CLFE and subsequent (side/aux, here unused) DACs do NOT work by default, at least here. I wasted much time trying to talk to Realtek/pshou about this, but they just kept sending me useless updates to patch_realtek.c that did nothing relevant. In the end I gave up and brute forced the issue by trying to flip every bit in the proprietary coefficient registers, and eventually found the two magic registers that need to be cleared to enable all DACs. I have only heard Acer users complain, but that might be because ALC889 is pretty new and using 5.1 (and noticing the missing center/lfe channels) might not be that common. If this is a generalized issue with all ALC889 systems then those verbs should probably be moved to a common verb array. The internal mic is untested and probably doesn't work. These settings will probably work for other Acer Gemstone laptops with the same 5.1 speaker config. When identified, those should be added to the PCI subsystem ID list.

2009-05-27ALSA: Enable PCM hw_ptr_jiffies check only in xrun_debug modeTakashi Iwai1-0/+5
The PCM hw_ptr jiffies check results sometimes in problems when a hardware doesn't give smooth hw_ptr updates. So far, au88x0 and some other drivers appear not working due to this strict check. However, this check is a nice debug tool, and the capability should be still kept. Hence, we disable this check now as default unless the user enables it by setting the xrun_debug mode to the specific stream via a proc file. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

2009-05-24ALSA: hda - Add 5stack-no-fp model for STAC927xTakashi Iwai1-0/+1
The recent fix for the headphone volume control on IDT/STAC codecs resulted in the removal of invalid "Side" volume eventually. But, if the front panel doesn't exist, this setup could be regarded as a sort of regression, as reported in kernel bug #13250. Now as a workaround, a new model 5stack-no-fp is added so that the user without the front panel can choose this one explicitly.

2009-04-22ASoC: Add power supply widget to DAPMMark Brown1-0/+1
Many modern CODECs have shared resources on chip which must be enabled for portions of the chip to work but which can be disabled at other times in order to achieve power savings. Examples of such resources include power supplies and some internal clocks. Since these widgets are dependencies for the audio path but do not carry audio signals they require slightly different handling to most widgets - they do not contribute to the audio path and so should not be counted as either inputs or outputs during path walks. Cases where one supply provides a supply for another will require additional work. There is also room for more optimisation of the graph walking to avoid repeated checks for the same thing.
