Linux 2.6.21 regression with hda-intel (Conexant 5045)

Linux 2.6.21 regression with hda-intel (Conexant 5045)

[Gunter Ohrner]

Hi!

First of all: Sorry if this question is dumb or a fix should be obvious, but
as a non-ALSA_expert I'm a bit a a loss at the moment... I searched the
bugtracker and this list but could not find anything appropriate - most
probably I missed a relevant post or didn't recognize it as being
relevant...

Any pointers are greatly appreciated!

The situation is as follows: Using Linux 2.6.20.4, my laptop's soundcard
works just fine. Using 2.6.21.1, it also works, but the headphone socket is
dead. Plugging a headphone into it correctly mustes the internal speakers,
but no sound is output via the headphones.

Details:

- Fujitsu Simens Amilo Si1520
- Codec: Conexant ID 5045 (as reported by Linux 2.6.20.4)

Alsa device details between both Linux kernels differ completely, with Linux
2.6.20.4 only reporting a single a single analog PCM device and Linux
2.6.21.1 reporting a Conexant Analog and a Conexant Digital device. Should
I still post the complete information from /proc/asound/* for both kernels?

I tried applying conexant-test22.patch by Tobin Davis, but it does not seem
to match the in-kernel ALSA code. It also does not seem to be related to
the 5045 chip...

Any ideas?

Greetings,

  Gunter

Patch 22 was specific to a few HP laptops with the CX20551 codec (you
have the CX20549).  The driver has been undergoing quite a bit of
refinement over the last few months, so I'm not sure which version is in
what kernels.  The best thing to do is download the
alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4.tar.bz2 release from alsa-project.org and use it.
It is the most current for that codec.

This driver version does not seem to compile with Linux 2.6.21:

I noticed no errors before this one and no failed includes or similar in
paticular.

The configure script couldn't detect some conditions by some reasons
on your system.
Try to build from the HG version, or daily snapshot at

alsa-driver 1.0.14rc4 compile error resolved (was: Linux 2.6.21 regression with hda-intel (Conexant 5045))

I found a reference to exactly the same problem here:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/46343/focus=46387

This thread mentions just this compile error and that it was supposed to be
fixed with 1.0.14rc4 but in fact wasn't.

My kernel was also built for the Core2 CPU, recompiling the whole kernel for
Pentium M helped and the compilation finished successfully.

There seems to be some macro magic going awry if Core2 is selected as the
target CPU.

I'll now test the freshly compiled driver and report if it works better than
the driver contained in vanilla Linux 2.6.21. :-)

Does the configure script detect it as "mcore2", or not?


(BTW, any reason that you add Reply-To: header?)

Yes, both configures (1.0.14rc4 and hb-20070518) detect it as mcore2 if I
try to compile it against a corresponding kernel, and both fail with the
mentioned error.

If I compile against my Pentium M kernel, both configures report "i686" and

Yes, but no paticularily good one. I tried to improve my client side
configuration a bit and the "Reply-To"s should be gone now.

OK, then at least it's something else.
Could you attach config.log with mcore2?

Yes, I've also used 2.6.21 and 2.6.22-rc* and it'OK with i686 (I have
no such a brand mew laptop here ;)

Looks Working fine.  Thanks.

Attached.

I called this configure explicitely specifying an mcore2-compiled 2.6.20.4
kernel source tree as I'm currently running a Pentium M compiled 2.6.21.1
kernel.

After applying the patch and running autoconf manually, it's currently
compiling - thus, it seems to work. :-)

Seems to work fine so far.

Looks as if Linux 2.6.21 contains a broken driver which has subsequently
been fixed.

Thanks a lot!
