[PATCH] ALSA: hda - HDMI: Fix MCP7x audio infoframe checksums

Aaron Plattner
2011-04-07T00:19:12Z

The MCP7x hardware computes the audio infoframe channel count
automatically, but requires the audio driver to set the audio
infoframe checksum manually via the Nv_VERB_SET_Info_Frame_Checksum
control verb.

When audio starts playing, nvhdmi_8ch_7x_pcm_prepare sets the checksum
to (0x71 - chan - chanmask). For example, for 2ch audio, chan == 1
and chanmask == 0 so the checksum is set to 0x70. When audio playback
finishes and the device is closed, nvhdmi_8ch_7x_pcm_close resets the
channel formats, causing the channel count to revert to 8ch. Since
the checksum is not reset, the hardware starts generating audio
infoframes with invalid checksums. This causes some displays to blank
the video.

Fix this by updating the checksum and channel mask when the device is
closed and also when it is first initialized. In addition, make sure
that the channel mask is appropriate for an 8ch infoframe by setting
it to 0x13 (FL FR LFE FC RL RR RLC RRC).
