Terratec Aureon Space

Terratec Aureon Space

[Zébulon]

Are there any debvelopers working on the Terratec Aureon Space ?

The sound chip is a Envy24HT, like for the Revolution, and there is a Wolfson 
chip WM8770IFT.
I cannot make it work with the 9.3a driver snd-ice1724, I get that error :

#modprobe snd-ice1724

Warning: loading

Can I expect to see it supported in the future ?

Thanks a lot

only if we get enough technical information...

at least we need to know the wire connection between codec and ice1724
chips, especially 61, 62 and 63 pins of Wolfson chip and GPIO pins of
ice1724 chip.

I'm currently developing Linux drivers for our AC97 range of audio
codecs. Unfortunately, the WM8770 is not in my schedule at the moment as
I'm busy working on WM97xx touchscreen drivers.

However, the WM8770 datasheet is available here.
http://www.wolfsonmicro.com/download.asp/did.217/WM8770.pdf

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Liam

thanks for the follow-up.

i already know it (and that's why i wrote the specific pin numbers in
my mail above :)  the wolfson chip is fine, it's perfectly described
in the datasheet.

the only question is the connection between the controller and the
code chips.  envy24ht has many GPIO pins, which are used for i2c
controls in most cases with 24bit DAC/ADC.
if the card vendor provides us this info, the driver will be ready in
a day (hopefully :)

Thanks for the answer. I just sent an email to request some technical 
information from Terratec, emphasizing the importance to support the Linux 
community.

Would it be possible to find it by analysing the circuits on the card itself
 ?

yes, if the wiring is flat.  but you'll need a louped :)

Chances are that this is possible. I did it for the maxistudio isis.
You'll need a multimeter with a beep function and some common sense
knowledge of which connections are most likely.
Most PCI cards are 4 layer PCB's with power and ground distribution on
the inner layer. This means that the signal traces are on the outside of
the board, so you can use a magnifying glass to trace them. Using a
digital camera with proper lighting works even better. You make a
picture of the piece of board you want to analyze (of both sides of
course), with a good resolution. This gives you a more 'stable' view of
the traces.

Terratec Aureon Space

[Dennis van der Meer]

Hi,

A while ago I was looking through the mail-archive (before it went down),
trying to see if there was support for my Terratec card. Unfortunately not but
I saw that people were busy trying to obtain specs to create a driver. I don't
know if there are people that have a Terratec Aureon Space 7.1 card but I am
willing to test any code (if necessary). I have been waiting to go back to
Linux and have support for this good sound card.
So please let me know if I can be of any help.


Thanks,

Dennis van der Meer

Hi,

>instead of my last patch.

A big thanks for the patchset. I was able to play sound with xmms
(not with the alsa-plugin but the OSS plugin worked). I am unable
to use the digital out to play sound though.
I have tried alsamixer but it will give me a lot of controls but not much
to work with. Somehow it's not working as it should.
Here's what I got from alsamixer:

Card: Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space
Chip: ICE1724 - multitrack

                     (changing values will set it to right channel only)

H/W 6           --> PCM Out0, H/W In 0, H/W In 1, IEC958 I
H/W 7           --> PCM Out0, H/W In 0, H/W In 1, IEC958 I
Multi Tr        --> Multi Track Internal Clock
                     44100

Multi Tr        --> Multi Track Peak (is restarted when app is started again)
Multi Tr        --> Multi Track Rate Locking
Multi Tr        --> Multi Track Rate Reset

Some noticeable things:
         When I try some of the multi Track Peak controls and change the 
value they are
         reset or one of them is even set to random values

         Some controls have multiple values like PCM Out0, H/W In 0, H/W In 
1 and IEC958 I but
         I don't hear anything special or notice anything weird

         The H/W and H/W 1 seem to control the left channel and the right 
channel. Although
         this is not clear from the alsamixer app I can definately tell 
when I'm changing values

         IEC958 O has a volume bar but it cannot be adjusted

I also tried envy24control but this app keeps telling me that it doesn't 
know the card type ICE1724.
I am rather new to alsa so I'm assuming I did something wrong.

Should the digital in / out also be working and if so, how can I change the 
settings to set
it to digital out then?


Thanks,

Dennis van der Meer

this is the routing of IEC958 left channel.  choose "PCM Out" here.

no volume. it's only the switch.
if you use "iec958" or "spdif" pcm device, it's turned on
automatically.

choose the right one for analog capture source.

they are the routing for analog outputs.
choose "PCM Out".  or, it's routed from the selected input.

this is changed automatically if "rate locking" and "rate reset" are
set up correctly.

they are read-only.

turn this off.

> Multi Tr        --> Multi Track Rate Reset

turn this on.


as said, for digital outs, use "iec958" device.  but you might need to
wrap "plug" layer to convert the formats, etc. to play back non-24bit
samples.

Re: Terratec Aureon Space

[Dennis van der Meer]

Hi,

I have been playing around with the controls and setting them as specified
but I am still unable to enable the digital out. I have verified that 
digital out
is not enabled by looking at the back of the card and check if the red light
is on (which is not the case).
I have also provided a dump from amixer in the hopes that someone can
figure out what is wrong:

Ok, done that but still no output, which makes sense since the red light on 
the back
of the card isn't on.

Thanks, it worked like a charm.
Now all I have to do is get kde to recognize it so I can have music through 
kde also but that will be
a different matter altogether.
Thank you very much for your help. It has been almost 6 months without 
sound in Linux so I can finally
switch back again permanently.

Re: Terratec Aureon Space

That's odd. I have updated the cvs version a couple of times but I haven't seen
this update. The value is still the same. Are there multiple cvs versions
around?

sourceforge's anonymous cvs tree is updated in delay of 24hour.
perhaps that's it?

anyway, it's ok on the main cvs tree.
