Re: Can't set less than 48k rate in the Intel-ICH4 (AD1981B)

Clemens, thanks for you comment to see may poor understandings.

I thought pcm means virtual interfaces;

$cat /proc/asound/pcm 
00-00: Intel ICH : Intel 82801DB-ICH4 : playback 1 : capture 1
00-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - MIC ADC : capture 1
00-02: Intel ICH - MIC2 ADC : Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - MIC2 ADC : capture 1
00-03: Intel ICH - ADC2 : Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - ADC2 : capture 1
00-04: Intel ICH - IEC958 : Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - IEC958 : playback 1

So, what does ADC2 means ?
I don't understand what these interfaces are mapped to well.
Because the AC97 codec (Analog Devices AD1981B) seems to have two ADC circits, each left or right,
so the two ADC were thought to be mapped with each ADC/ADC2 in the alsa mapping.

ICH4 is just a hub to RAM, I understand.
Putting aside how the codec is connected to ICH4 interface,
does ADC2 are mapped each side of the codec's stereo ADCs?


It seems unable to work duplex only with the pcm 00-00.
I can do alsa work duplex with the pcm 00-00 and 00-03.
Also, can do 00&03 pcm work both for capture at the same time, uselessly captureing from the same mic port.
It's confused me very much that ADC2, I mean alsa's pcm 00-03, works only if set less than 48k sampling rate.

hmm...

Regards,
Junji
