Description RussianNeuroMancer 2017-03-31 18:24:47 UTC
cht-bsw-rt5672 driver for audio adapter seems like loading:

I guess this is because of lack of UCM-file for cht-bsw-rt5672. 

Dell Venue 8 Pro 5855
BIOS version: 1.7.0, A08
Linux 4.11 from drm-intel-nightly (commit d217cd61ada383a577dc686dd74f77856695ec84) nightly usage was required to get display working.
Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 Beta 2
Comment 1 RussianNeuroMancer 2017-06-04 19:33:14 UTC
With UCM config from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96691#c46 I get 

1. When I playback audio only to left channel - left speaker playback audio.
2. When I playback audio only to right channel - there is silence.
3. Left headphone playback audio from left and right channels, but audio from left channels seems like a bit louder. At the end of audio playback there is crackling sound.
4. Right headphone playback audio from left and right channels, but audio from right channels seems like a bit louder. At the end of audio playback there is crackling sound.
5. Headset microphone is not listed in input sources.
6. Internal microphone is doesn't record anything.
7. No automatic jack detection, so no automatic switch between speakers and headphones/headset.
8. In headphones quiet sounds seems like louder, and for some reason especially voices is always quieter (for example in song - music is always louder than signer voice).

Comment 4 Pierre Bossart 2017-08-19 19:14:02 UTC
I ran a couple of tests with the hardware kindly provided by RussianNeuroMancer (using stock Fedora 26 and just added the UCM file for rt5670 for Lenovo platforms)

There are indeed two problems
1. it doesn't look like there is a right speaker, but that can probably be sorted out by adding a new UCM output device which play right on left

2. there is a jack detection/configuration issue. The UCM file has to be commented out with the JackControl "Headphone Jack" removed to show up in the sound applet, and when I look at the alsa controls same thing 

[plb@Dell5585 ~]$ amixer -Dhw:1 cget  numid=170
numid=170,iface=CARD,name='Headphone Jack'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=r-------,values=1
  : values=off

Interestingly the headphone output works even without any configuration but the left and right channels get played on both sides.

@Bard, could you take a look at the registers and maybe suggest something?

yes and UCM files are up-to-date. The only missing part if the internal mic but I am waiting confirmation from Realtek that I am using the right dmic input (pin 5).

I get speaker/headphone working,but same problem:
Interestingly the headphone output works even without any configuration but the left and right channels get played on both sides.plug in/out headphone,

if plug in/out,regmap should be different,but them same.

You probably don't have the right jd_mode. Before the quirks I submitted for 4.13, the headphone worked without configuration but left and right were identical.

There is a magic tool called git bisect. If you don't provide more information on what stopped the audio from working on your platform not sure what help you expect from others.

you need reply my comment #14,compare dmesg with comment #9

if add thinkpad 8 acpi quirk,should be load cht-bsw_rt5672,right ?

but,4.14 kernel,load bytcr-rt5640

i just porting a lot of patches to 4.9 kernel,only one patch is add ThinkPad 8 acpi quirk

the 4.14 kernel only need ThinkPad 8 acpi quirk,but quirk not working.

Humm, this dates from 4.12, so it's not really related to the changes made for rt5670 in my patches.
Can you please trace what is done in this patch to explain what is done wrong?
just add a printk(KERN_ERR and send the log
it could be a mistmatch in a quirk table.

Sorry, this is not helping identify the issue. Keep in mind we don't have the hardware handy, so if you do not provide traces or information telling us something useful we are not going to progress.
So please add traces in the routine that supposedly creates the problem as well as in the byt_quirk function. It looks like you are a quirk which is not identified and I have no idea why. Also please share the dmi information and alsa-info.sh.
Comment 24 Pierre Bossart 2017-09-20 21:16:34 UTC
Actually there is something odd here, we don't assign the result of the machine quirk: can you try the fix below?

struct sst_acpi_mach *sst_acpi_find_machine(struct sst_acpi_mach *machines)
{
	struct sst_acpi_mach *mach;

	for (mach = machines; mach->id[0]; mach++) {
		if (sst_acpi_check_hid(mach->id) == true) {

                        if (mach->machine_quirk)
                             mach = mach->machine_quirk(mach);
                        return mach;
  
//			if (mach->machine_quirk == NULL)
//				return mach;

//			if (mach->machine_quirk(mach) != NULL)
//				return mach;
		}
	}
	return NULL;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(sst_acpi_find_machine);

???

what different with revert ? https://github.com/youling257/android-4.9/commit/f51bda2b0aeba23e5162e38dc2ff69fac45d718a

just add a printk(KERN_ERR and send the log) ,how to do ?

the code is commented out, just use the lines above, they set the mach variable in case there is a quirk.
Comment 27 RussianNeuroMancer 2017-10-04 03:12:09 UTC
Hello, Pierre!

In Commentary 1 I mentioned "At the end of audio playback there is crackling sound" in Item 3 and Item 4.

I find easy way to reproduce this issue:
Playback YouTube video in web-browser, video or audio in mpv or any audio player, or somewhere else, wait until playback is finished, wait 5-15 seconds until app stop playback silence. When it happens, app is closed connection to PulseAudio, and you'll hear crackle.

It's much easier to use headphones to reproduce this issue, by the way this is how this issue disturb most of the time - when, for example, Gnome playback notification sound on every notification, there is loud crackle in headphones on, for example, every new message. (However, it also possible to hear it from speaker if you increase volume level. I just tested this, and I hear it quite clearly every time.)

https://github.com/plbossart/UCM/commit/9639c15027c78a5166c348d048e9ab782e3258fa#diff-ede37ed29620ae7aa535fe39fceabd69

I tested updated UCM, and can confirm that DMIC2 works on Dell 5855. I assume that automatic switch to headset's mic is not supposed to work yet?
Comment 28 Pierre Bossart 2017-10-04 15:01:41 UTC
The codec data sheet shows a set of registers for pop control, not sure which ones are necessary, maybe Realtek can help.
Another work-around is to let PulseAudio play all the time by removing the suspend-on-idle module. You'd take a small battery life hit but this should avoid on/off transitions which create the problem.
Comment 29 RussianNeuroMancer 2017-10-06 19:17:14 UTC
Meanwhile, I find that 4GB/64GB version of Dell 5855 behave differently from 2GB/32GB version. So far I noticed that:

1. If Speaker output is selected as default:
When headphones is not attached and I playback audio only to left channel - speaker playback audio.
When headphones is not attached and I playback audio only to right channel - there is silence.
When headphones is attached left headphone playback audio from left channel and right headphone playback audio from left channel 
So in this setup playback to headphones works as expected, while playback to speaker - not.
2. If MonoSpeaker output is selected as default:
When headphones is not attached speaker playback audio from both channels.
When headphones is attached and I playback audio only to left channel - left headphone playback audio.
When headphones is attached and I playback audio only to right channel - both headphones playback audio.
So in this setup playback to speaker works as expected, while playback to headphones - not.
3. No audio from DMIC2, which works in 2GB version case, as I stated above.

For issue 2 I tried to select MonoSpeaker as starting point, and then find that executing 
amixer -c1 cset name="Stereo DAC MIXL DAC R1 Switch" off
when Headphones is attached get audio from right channel only to right headphone, so I edited UCM like this:

> SectionDevice."Headphones" {
>    Comment "Headphones"
> 
>     Value {
>         PlaybackChannels "2"
>         JackControl "Headphone Jack"
>     }
> 
>     ConflictingDevice [
>         "MonoSpeaker"
>     ]
> 
>     EnableSequence [
>         cdev "hw:chtbswrt5672"
>         cset "name='Headphone Switch' on"
>         cset "name='Stereo DAC MIXL DAC R1 Switch' off"
>     ]
> 
>     DisableSequence [
>         cdev "hw:chtbswrt5672"
>         cset "name='Headphone Switch' off"
>         cset "name='Stereo DAC MIXL DAC R1 Switch' on"
>     ]
> }

However, according to amixer output
> ~$ amixer -c1 cget name="Stereo DAC MIXL DAC R1 Switch"
> numid=230,iface=MIXER,name='Stereo DAC MIXL DAC R1 Switch'
>   ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
>   : values=on
This line seems like not executed or not applied on headphones attaching. Unless Headphones is selected in Gnome Settings manually, 'Stereo DAC MIXL DAC R1 Switch' remains on.

Did I done something wrong with Headphones EnableSequence or it's some issue?

Same story with DMIC2 mic, "Sto1 ADC MIXL ADC2 Switch" and "Sto1 ADC MIXR ADC2 Switch" was off for some reason (while "Int Mic Switch" so EnableSequence probably was executed) and as soon as I set it to on manually - recording from DMIC2 start working.

Maybe it's related to fact that if you go to Gnome Settings after login Headset Mic is always (after every login) selected as default for some reason? (Even if it was set to DMIC2 before logout/reboot/poweroff.)

Other findings, not sure if it's useful, but anyway:
a).
https://github.com/plbossart/UCM/blob/9639c15027c78a5166c348d048e9ab782e3258fa/cht-bsw-rt5672/HiFi#L272
https://github.com/plbossart/UCM/blob/9639c15027c78a5166c348d048e9ab782e3258fa/cht-bsw-rt5672/HiFi#L303
Probably should be "Stereo1 ADC L2 Mux" or "Stereo1 ADC R2 Mux" instead of "Stereo1 ADC 2 Mux"? "amixer controls -c1" doesn't mention "Stereo1 ADC 2 Mux" control.

b). According to amixer output
> ~$ amixer -c1 cget name="Mono ADC R1 Mux" 
> numid=196,iface=MIXER,name='Mono ADC R1 Mux'
>   ; type=ENUMERATED,access=rw------,values=1,items=2
>   ; Item #0 'Mono DAC MIXR'
>   ; Item #1 'ADC2'
>   : values=0
ADC1 seems like is not an option for "Mono ADC R1 Mux".

https://github.com/plbossart/UCM/blob/9639c15027c78a5166c348d048e9ab782e3258fa/cht-bsw-rt5672/HiFi#L338

Is this Ok, or there should be something different in this line?

* while "Int Mic Switch" is on, so
Comment 31 Pierre Bossart 2017-10-09 17:36:04 UTC
I suggest you use the alsa_ucm sequences (see top of HiFi file) with a console and aplay to remove pulseaudio-related issues.

In the case of the mono speaker, there is already a sequence which deals with the R->L mixer, e.g.
https://github.com/plbossart/UCM/blob/master/cht-bsw-rt5672/HiFi#L228

I am not sure why this sequence is not executed when disabling the speaker, that looks like a bug in PulseAudio to me.

As I understand all necessary patches in upstream since Linux 4.15.
