Smart 5.1 function not working on VIA VT1708S with *three* jacks on mainboard

Smart 5.1 function not working on VIA VT1708S with *three* jacks on mainboard

[Viliam Kubis]

Hello, for quite some time the "Smart 5.1" function in alsa is not working  
properly when motherboard has only 3 audio jacks.

Me and Raymond on alsa-bugtracker have been trying to solve the issue for  
a long time but were unsuccessful.

Please take a look at this alsa bug ticket:  
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4895

It contains A LOT of info on the problem + steps that we tried, which  
included patching the code.

Synthom : NO "Surround" , "Center" and "LFE" Control and switch with  
VT1708S on a motherboard with 3 audio jacks
Also NO surround sound.

speaker-test -c 4 -t wav -Dsurround40

Channels count (4) not available for playbacks: Invalid argument
Setting of hwparams failed: Invalid argument

Please advise if you can.

Thank you
Best Regards

Please try the patch below.

(This function uses 0x12 and 0x13 as the NIDs for the center/LFE and
side DACs.  Shouldn't these be 0x24 and 0x25, as per the datasheet?)

Node 0x12 seem to be for digital out since it connected to node 0x20

I guess we still lack the info about the retasking of pink and blue jack to
the surround output

Re: Smart 5.1 function not working on VIA VT1708S with *three* jacks on mainboard

[Viliam Kubis]

It might be. It is important not to mix VT1708 and VT1708S. For VT1708S,
the following DACs are used in code:

  /* config dac list */
  switch (i) {
  case AUTO_SEQ_FRONT:
  	spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x10;
  	break;
  case AUTO_SEQ_CENLFE:
  	spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x24;
  	break;
  case AUTO_SEQ_SURROUND:
  	spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x11;
  	break;
  case AUTO_SEQ_SIDE:
  	spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x25;
  	break;
  }

  So 0x12 is not used for any of the surround outputs.

Re: Smart 5.1 function not working on VIA VT1708S with *three* jacks on mainboard

[Viliam Kubis]

Hello, I have patched the vt1708s_auto_fill_dac_nids function instead. I
have left values 0x11 and 0x12 for surround and cen/lfe, althrough it
might be 0x11 and 0x24 for vt1708S as originally specified in
vt1708s_auto_fill_dac_nids switch statement. The whole function looks
like this:

  static int vt1708S_auto_fill_dac_nids(struct via_spec *spec,
  				     const struct auto_pin_cfg *cfg)
  {
  	int i;
  	hda_nid_t nid;

  	spec->multiout.num_dacs = cfg->line_outs;

  	spec->multiout.dac_nids = spec->private_dac_nids;

  	for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
  		nid = cfg->line_out_pins[i];
  		if (nid) {
  			/* config dac list */
  			switch (i) {
  			case AUTO_SEQ_FRONT:
  				spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x10;
  				break;
  			case AUTO_SEQ_CENLFE:
  				spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x24;
  				break;
  			case AUTO_SEQ_SURROUND:
  				printk(KERN_INFO "***PATCH CREATING SURROUND DAC_NID");
  				spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x11;
  				break;
  			case AUTO_SEQ_SIDE:
  				spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x25;
  				break;
  			}
  		}
  	}
  	
  	if (cfg->line_outs == 1)
  	{
  		printk(KERN_INFO "***PATCH 08/07/10");
  		spec->multiout.num_dacs = 3;
  		spec->multiout.dac_nids[AUTO_SEQ_SURROUND] = 0x11;
  		spec->multiout.dac_nids[AUTO_SEQ_CENLFE] = 0x12;
	}

  	return 0;
  }

  The patch is in effect since the following is visible in dmesg after the
  driver is loaded:

  ***PATCH 08/07/10
  ***PATCH CREATING Surround CONTROL
  ***PATCH HDA max_channels = 6
  ***PATCH playback stream channels_max = 6
  Smart 5.1 Patch installed NEW
  ***PATCH Setting 64 mode [out=64] for pin index 0 nid 26
  ***PATCH Setting 64 mode [out=64] for pin index 1 nid 30
  ***PATCH Setting 64 mode [out=64] for pin index 2 nid 27

  printk(KERN_INFO "***PATCH CREATING SURROUND DAC_NID"); This line does
  not print since cfg->line_out_pins[AUTO_SEQ_SURROUND] is not filled at
  that time, but we fix it in the new if block.

  Surround still does not work (still the same, the rear speakers are
  soundless).

Re: Smart 5.1 function not working on VIA VT1708S with *three* jacks on mainboard

[Viliam Kubis]

I have tried the patch on clean (unpatched) patch_via.c. dmesg prints
out ***PATCH 08/07/10 as expected, but the surround does not work.
Surround and cen/lfe controls are also not created for alsamixer without
other patches. What does work is specifying -Dsurround40 for
speaker-test but there is no sound from rear speakers. If you want, I
can post the whole patched patch_via.c somewhere or we can work on new
patches starting with this one.

Oh my god!! It actually works!!! :) At first speaker-test was not working,  
but with

speaker-test 1.0.23

Playback device is surround40
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 4 channels

Finally! My audio experience is now at a whole new level. Thank you very  
much, I will post this patch to alsa-bugtracker and close the bug, I was  
starting to think that this is a kernel problem, but now it just works  
GREAT.

Maybe you can add this patch to official alsa-driver version on next  
release.

Have a nice day!

This patch makes 5.1 analog surround work for me.  I'm using an ASUS P5Q-VM DO 
which has a VIA VT1708S.  The mainboard has three analog jacks in the rear and 
an on-board jumper for two front jacks.

the following DACs are used in code:

  /* config dac list */
  switch (i) {
  case AUTO_SEQ_FRONT:
  	spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x10;
  	break;
  case AUTO_SEQ_CENLFE:
  	spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x24;
  	break;
  case AUTO_SEQ_SURROUND:
  	spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x11;
  	break;
  case AUTO_SEQ_SIDE:
  	spec->multiout.dac_nids[i] = 0x25;
  	break;
  }

I think your testing config is not compiled with smart 5.1 requirement

Refer to smart51_get() , this function exepct red jack and blue jack
are configued to Output

But you still plugged in Mic into the pink jack according to your photo.

Your speakers have to plugged in both pink and blue jacks

[Viliam Kubis]

But my speakers only come with two jacks for input. One for the front  
speakers and one for rear speakers. So I cannot connect the speakers to  
all three jacks. I have compiled alsa with --with-debug=full configure  
option to see which pins it has auto-parsed:

HDA Intel 0000:00:14.2: PCI INT A disabled
HDA Intel 0000:00:14.2: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
ALSA hda_codec.c:4408: autoconfig: line_outs=1 (0x1c/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)
ALSA hda_codec.c:4412:    speaker_outs=0 (0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)
ALSA hda_codec.c:4416:    hp_outs=1 (0x1d/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)
ALSA hda_codec.c:4417:    mono: mono_out=0x0
ALSA hda_codec.c:4420:    dig-out=0x20/0x0
ALSA hda_codec.c:4428:    inputs: mic=0x1a, fmic=0x1e, line=0x1b,  
fline=0x0, cd=0x1f, aux=0x0

However in function smart51_get, the following condition

if (ctl & AC_PINCTL_IN_EN
     && !(ctl & AC_PINCTL_OUT_EN))
{
	printk(KERN_INFO "*** PATCH on=0 in via_smart51_get()");
	on = 0;
}

will never be true, so smart51_get will always set  
*ucontrol->value.integer.value to 1. (printk line will not execute)

Smart 5.1 control gets created and appears to be "working". However  
surround output does not work.
