Hi
I'm trying to add support for the Hercules DJ Console. It's a USB 5.1
soundcard with a MIDI-interface and some MIDI controllers. From looking
inside the box I found the following components:
Asahi Kasei, AKM AK4529VQ. A high performance multi-channel audio codec.
http://www.akm.com/datasheets/ek4529.pdf
Texas Instruments, TUSB3200AC. A USB Streaming Controller.
http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tusb3200.html
Cirrus Logic, CS8427. A stereo digital audio transceiver.
http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/pro/detail/P51.html
With ALSA 1.0.9 MIDI worked well. I could access both the MIDI
controllers on the device and the keyboard I connected to the device
aswell. There were more issues though, so I updated to latest cvs and
now MIDI doesn't work anylonger. When loading snd-usb-audio I get the
message:
ALSA /home/nano/devel/alsa/alsa-driver/usb/usbmidi.c:1600: invalid quirk
type 2
snd-usb-audio: probe of 1-1:1.3 failed with error -5
I've looked at the diffs but I haven't found out what change since 1.0.9
broke the MIDI support.
Output from MIDI in 1.0.9:
Client 64 : "Hercules DJ Console" [Kernel]
Port 0 : "Hercules DJ Console MIDI 1" (RWeX)
Port 1 : "Hercules DJ Console MIDI 2" (RWeX)
The rest of the device doesn't work either. The mixer fails because the
mixer element "Delay Control" cannot be read.
lsusb:
bmaControls( 0) 0x80
Delay
When trying to load the mixer the driver fails at:
usb/usbmixer.c (linenumbers might have changed, but somewhere there)
666 if (get_ctl_value(cval, GET_MAX, (cval->control << 8) | minchn, &cval->max) < 0 ||
667 get_ctl_value(cval, GET_MIN, (cval->control << 8) |minchn, &cval->min) < 0) {
668 snd_printd(KERN_ERR "%d:%d: cannot get min/max values for control %d (id %d)\n",
669 cval->id, cval->mixer->ctrlif, cval->control,cval->id);
670 return -EINVAL;
671 }
and (same file)
742 /* master channel */
743 err = get_cur_mix_value(cval, 0, &val);
744 if (err < 0) {
745 if (cval->mixer->ignore_ctl_error) {
746 ucontrol->value.integer.value[0] = cval->min;
747 return 0;
748 }
749 snd_printd(KERN_ERR "cannot get current value for control %d master ch: err = %d\n", cval->control, err);
750 return err;
751 }
With the error message:
ALSA /home/.../usb/usbmixer.c:669: 2:0: cannot get min/max values for control 8 (id 2)
ALSA /home/.../usb/usbmixer.c:749: cannot get current value for control 8 master ch: err = -22
$ alsamixer

numid=3,iface=MIXER,name='Delay Control'
; type=INTEGER,access=rw---,values=1,min=0,max=1,step=0
amixer: Control default element read error: Invalid argument
When trying to feed audio data to the card the driver fails at:
usb/usbaudio.c:
802 if ((err = usb_submit_urb(subs->dataurb[i].urb, GFP_ATOMIC)) < 0) {
803 snd_printk(KERN_ERR "cannot submit datapipe for urb %d, err = %d \n", i, err);
804 goto __error;
805 }
With the error message:
ALSA /home/.../usb/usbaudio.c:803: cannot submit datapipe for urb 1, err = -28
ALSA /home/.../usb/usbaudio.c:803: cannot submit datapipe for urb 0, err = -22
What does work is that the proc dir gets populated and jack correctly
assumes the card to be a 5.1 card (6 connectable devices).

So I ask for some help to put me in the right direction. What code to
read and any thoughts about what can be wrong at the moment. The MIDI
part seems like a good thing to start with as it recently worked.
If there is more information I need to provide please tell and I'll see
what I can do about it.

Just do a binary search between ALSA 1.0.9 and 1.0.10-rc1 using CVS (cvs
co -D 2005-xx-xx).

Not the right fix, but as a workaround, try to uncomment
IGNORE_CTL_ERROR in usbmixer.c and recompile the driver.

The MIDI ports are now recognized. All the controls on the device
works and the MIDI keyboard connected to the interface works too. So
the MIDI part isworking well again. Uncommenting the IGNORE_CTL_ERROR
obviously allows alsamixer to start. However, there are _four_ elements
named 'PCM', and then the 'Delay Control'. And amixer contents only
reports three ("PCM Playback Switch", "PCM Playback", "Delay Control").
Here is the output of "amixer scontents":
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right - Rear Left - Rear Right - Front Center - Woofer
Limits: Playback 0 - 181
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 145 [80%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 145 [80%] [on]
Rear Left: Playback 145 [80%] [on]
Rear Right: Playback 145 [80%] [on]
Front Center: Playback 145 [80%] [on]
Woofer: Playback 145 [80%] [on]
Simple mixer control 'Delay Control',0
Capabilities: volume volume-joined
Playback channels: Mono
Capture channels: Mono
Limits: 0 - 1
Mono: 0 [0%]
Which doesn't match alsamixer controls very well (in count and names).
Ok, so some progress. The device accepts S16, 6 channels, 48kHz.
Still no output, fails with kernel message:
ALSA /hom.../usbaudio.c:807: cannot submit datapipe for urb 5, err = -28

What is the output of "amixer contents"?

28 = ENOSPC. Please disable bandwidth checking in the kernel
configuration. (This is a bug of your distribution unless you
compiled the kernel yourself.)

I use kernel 2.6.12-1-686, supplied by Debian. I'll forward your mail to
the maintainer. Disabling CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH did the trick. I have
sound working now (all channels tested).
So a resume of changes to minimal support for this device.
1. Classify the MIDI interface as standard MIDI interface.
2. Ignore mixer errors.
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12931847
3. Disable CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH
However, as Takashi Iwai said, ignoring mixer elements is not very nice
(Delay Control brings errors if not ignored), and the MIDI patch needs
some love too.
And the names of the mixer elements are not correct
Here's a summary of the alsamixer elements vs real names
1 (multi)
1.1 - Front Left
1.2 - Front Right
2 (multi)
2.1 - Rear Right
2.2 - Front Center
3 (single) - Rear Left
4 (single) - Woofer
Is it perhaps possible to have Rear Left/Right on the same element?
Currently they're all named 'PCM', Front, Rear, Center, Woofer would be
good names.
This probably sums up what has to be done to get support for this device
into ALSA. Does Capture need to be working before support enters ALSA or
that can wait?

The driver already did this, but a recent reorganization did not
handle this case correctly.
This has now been fixed in CVS.

The hardware has only one mixer control with six channels, so we
cannot use different names for these.
The 2+2+1+1 controls in alsamixer are based on a wrong assumption by
alsamixer, but it's hard to fix this because currently there isn't an
interfacve to pass this information to the application.
The abstract mixer layer (being written) should fix both problems.

What has capture to do with this? Doesn't it work?

Make sure you report this to the Debian maintainers. Enabling
CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH by default is a bug.

That sounds fair enough to me, as long there are no objections

Clemens, could you provide a little more information on
the problems that CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH causes?
Thanks

The code that implements it computes wrong values for the bandwidth
utilization. This doesn't seem to matter much for full speed stereo
devices, but we have several bug reports for multichannel and/or high
speed devices where usb_submit_urb() incorrectly returns -ENOSPC
errors.
The comment above the usb_check_bandwidth() function in hcd.c lists
several of the known bugs.
Perhaps CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH should have been marked BROKEN instead of
just EXPERIMENTAL.

Clemens

Has this been reported upstream? Possibly the USB maintainers don't
know that this is causing real problems for users.

Thanks for the clarification.

That would be a good idea if it hasn't been done,
but I know nought about this sistuation, so my
comments are close to worthless.

Just updated to kernel 2.6.15-rc1 and things have improved, however,
still some problems left.

Midi stuff _on_ the Hercules DJ Console works, but devices attached to

Mixer starts, but I don't know if it works as the output is broken.
cannot get ctl value: req = 0x83, wValue = 0x800, wIndex = 0x200, type = 5
2:0: cannot get min/max values for control 8 (id 2)
cannot get ctl value: req = 0x81, wValue = 0x800, wIndex = 0x200, type = 5

Even though CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH is disabled I'm unable to get output
working. I've tried with jack which works flawlessly with my internal
soundcard but with hercules dj console I keep getting this from the
kernel:
...
frame 0 active: -84
frame 0 active: -84
...
Which in turn leads to jack being unable to start the playback.

Thank you for the update. I will also try this on my HPCDJ (windows
