support for PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_ICH6_15

support for PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_ICH6_15

[Brice Goglin]

Hi,

We have a machine here whose lspci shows this soundcard :

0000:00:1b.0 0403: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High 
Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)
                 Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company: Unknown device 2a09
                 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 169
                 Memory at d7dfc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
                 Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
                 Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ 
Queue=0/0 Enable-
                 Capabilities: [70] #10 [0091]

lspci -n says that the PCI id is "8086:2668".
include/linux/pci_ids.h says this is PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_ICH6_15.
The intel8x0.c alsa driver code seems to handle several ICH chips,
but we didn't get this one to work.

Anyway, I didn't find this PCI id in intel8x0.c. I just found 
PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_ICH6_3 (whose id is 266e instead of 2668 here).

Is there any way to get this soundcard to work ?

Best Regards,

Well that could be a typo.  Did you try just adding this PCI id to
intel8x0.c?

Otherwise this is probably a new device.  But Intel is Linux friendly so
even if your card is not supported it can be.

Sorry I missed the 'HD Audio' part.  I think you want the 'azx' driver:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8912810

AFAIK Intel posted this driver and it was committed to CVS but we have
no user feedback yet.  So it should be considered experimental, though
it should work.  It would be good to know how it works...

If this is the case "ICH 6 Family" is misleading, as this needs a
completely different driver.

Sorry, rereading the posts from Intel, ICH6 == HD Audio, ICH5 is the
intel8x0 driver.

It looks like some ICH6 devices are claimed by the intel8x0 driver and
some by azx.  Sorry I can't help more, I don't have the hardware myself.

Did you try alsaconf?  If this doesn;t work then it probably needs to be
updated to grok your PCI id.

Note that ICH6 supports both ac97 and HD audio.  But in practice,
only one of them is implemented.   Both functions have different PCI
IDs so that they can be distinguished.

Hi,

We just gave it a try and it works!

alsamixer only sees five buttons (master, line, cd, mic and capture) but 
I don't care :)

Thanks a lot guys, hope this driver will go into the mainline kernel soon :)

no it didn't.

from my locally cvs2cl-generated changelog:

(...)

2004-07-28 16:55  tiwai

        * doc/azx.txt, pci/Kconfig, pci/Makefile: Added Intel ICH6 HD Audio
          (Azalia) driver.

(...)

the actual driver is currently missing from CVS...
