Possible progress on the audio

[nicman23]

There is some progress/traction on the kernel bugtracker, for our uncommon audio card.

the bug is tracked here.

Our is the insyde reference - see description.

PS: do not try anything from other models. It will not work. Our chip does not have 2 pins (or something technical like that) and it will timeout alsa. Basically, alsa, cannot start the chip - let alone produce sound. No amount of hacking/ trying different firmwares will do anything.

tl;dr : follow the link ; pray to Saint Gnusious

[nicman23]

switching router to b/g made it connect.. however, time is slowed by 4x.

• $ time ssh 192.168.1.120 sleep 2s

real    0m9.008s
user    0m0.010s
sys 0m0.000s

• $ time ssh 192.168.1.120 exit

real    0m0.442s
user    0m0.007s
sys 0m0.000s

that ip being the tablet...

youling257,

Could you post your dmidecode? I think our hardware is slightly different.

[youling257]

[youling257]

Left horn is broken, more than 50% volume, left horn sound isn't perfect.

[youling257]

microphone can work ?

[nicman23]

generally yes, but not at the moment

[youling257]

alsa_cr_hp.sh，alsa_cr_spk.sh，Switching headphones and speakers ；but microphone doesn't work ; microphone on tablet，microphone on headset .

[ghost]

Yeah, the HPs and Mic don't seem to work.

I'm sure the answer lies somewhere in the mixer, but I'm not brave enough to muck with this. You can really phuck up your speakers if you start tinkering with this. `O~o' Too many Bayfail audio disasters for me to get too adventurous, although I'd really like to the get the headphones working...

[youling257]

@jharrison022 , you said “ I'd really like to the get the headphones working” you don't know use alsa_cr_hp.sh、 alsa_cr_spk.sh ？ Switching headphones and speakers it from https://groups.google.com/group/android-x86/attach/d1ffc290d6d56/alsa_bytcr_andx86.zip?part=0.1&authuser=0&view=1

In this 20 days ，I used headphones on androidx86,， sometimes, it will no sound, has Current sound ，at This moment ，again “ sh /sdcard/alsa_cr_hp.sh ” ；Then I found ，when has Current sound ，Adjust the volume ，also can solve the problem ；10 days ago， Left horn ,right horn, all broken

I test BYT_RT5640_DIFF_MIC , mic still can't work , how to use alsa swith Headset Mic and Internal Mi ?

Yeah, I'm aware of these scripts but they don't work on my specific tablet.

[wickedbiker]

Hi I am very excited about this, it appears you have solved a very allusive issue. I am not as technical as you guys, I can flash roms and images and simple things and what I am wondering is can you please make an x86 4.4 r3 .img efi image with this fix applied for guys like me who have a baytrail flexx tablet? I have the flexx 11 but im sure it will work. Im also wondering if others would be able to use this with other baytrail 2 in 1s like the t1000 etc. I do not know how to patch kernals and such but if you can make either a complete flashable .img for efi or give me a how to for idiots on making this work. I would be extremely thankful it is the one thing keeping me from having a dual boot android windows machine.

[nicman23]

Lol this is not arm (or at least uboot), this is more or less standard x86 hardware. There is no need to flash anything, you just tell the firmware to boot grub or something and then you load any distribution. The kernel is interchangeable with any package manager

[youling257]

very well，the 4.9 kernel， merge sound already，https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/sound/soc/intel/boards/bytcr_rt5640.c https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git/log/?h=topic/intel 4.9 kernel merge upstream already .

but，may be we still need https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9277989/ this patch.

[nicman23]

sigh, they still do not have updated the quirk table for any of our tablets....

[youling257]

https://github.com/zefie/nxt_and_x86/tree/x86/files/6/system/etc/alsa ，mic work

[nicman23]

BTW did anyone figure stateless sound init with pulse?

[Haxk20]

Hi i finally get to system detects my sound card im not using flexx but Lenovo miix 3 830 but they aare same only display is diferent i get only somee weird noise when playing sound and this in the logs
intel_sst_acpi 80860F28:00: fw returned err -16 intel_sst_acpi 80860F28:00: Wait timed-out condition:0x0, msg_id:0x1 fw_state 0x3 Baytrail Audio Port: sst: error code = -22 andthis goes over and over it was hard even to make system to detect it and now they weird noise like some cracking HEEEELPPP please

[Haxk20]

and even this in log bytcr_rt5640 bytcr_rt5640: invalid position: , pos = -22, buffer size = 203830, period size = 1199

[nicman23]

probably fixed as of https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a68bc0d43e1b96c374c4b03eb9baa662778357b3#diff-ad362ef9a62cab4653b68cafab76824b

have not tested it though. Also, there is no need for any dsdt patching and adding any device to the quirk table!

Someone please test and report, so we can close the bug..

If kernel 4.9 will make sound working then i will be really happy im installing ubuntu 17.04 alpha right now then will update to 4.9 kernel and will add UCM and will see

[Haxk20]

Installed ubuntu 17.04 and now if i type alsactl restore its says no soundcard found on ubuntu 16.10 it find soundcard at least bit here nothing helpppp

[ghost]

4.9-rc5 has all the driver work in place now, just need the quirks for the tablet.

I'm also happy to report I have the headphone and microphone working now by means of re-worked UCM files and new firmware. I just want to make damn sure they're working properly before I post them up on account of the reports of fried speakers. It's not automatic, you need to use the pulse mixer or ucmtool (or whatever it's called) to change the profile. Nobody really seems to have figured out how the jack can talk to the software - probably through a GPIO.

The new firmware required is in the Debian non-free firmware package: fw_sst_0f28_ssp0.bin, 073bb387eb96f8c01d039778086484ac

[ghost]

This is all working for me without issue. So... The the last two issues with audio are lack of automatic headphone/speaker switching and lack of internal mic support. Those two remain a mystery for now (external headset mics work).

New UCM file: http://home.ix.netcom.com/%7Ejjingber/alsa-ucm-5640.tar.gz

New firmware: http://home.ix.netcom.com/%7Ejjingber/fw_sst_0f28_ssp0.bin

External headset/mic needs to be wired T/R/R/S.

different quick，same HiFi file，different state file .

Android x86 isn't support HiFi，but support state，use state ，/system/etc/alsa/bytcrrt5640.state，needn't HiFi .

on Ubuntu，setting sound use speaker and Internal Mic ，alsactl store bytcrrt5640 -f speaker，setting sound use headset and headset mic，alsactl store bytcrrt5640 -f headset ， copy speaker and headset these two files to Android x86，alsa_ctl restore -f /sdcard/speaker ，alsa_ctl restore -f /sdcard/headset，Switching headphones and speakers on Android x86. /system/etc/alsa/bytcrrt5640.state is speaker or headset file

[youling257]

“4.9-rc5 has all the driver work in place now, just need the quirks for the tablet” no，it isn't ，the 4.9 don't even has “clk: x86: Add Atom PMC platform clocks” . your tablet isn't z3735f https://github.com/plbossart/sound/tree/intel/audio-latest-fixes for z3735f .

[ghost]

This is a site primarily for Nextbook-style tablets and Linux, so that's where I'm speaking from.

We're happy to help everyone though, but your hardware and SW is sufficiently different that you might have different issues.

And I assure you, it does work on the Nextbooks, and the relevant code is in the kernel, because I'm listening to some great music right now.

[ghost]

The platform clock patch is not a requirement on my tablet if MCLK_EN is not selected.

[Tuxman2]

Hello,

I've got a z3735F hybrid PC (Medion Akoya). I've got some difficulties with Baytrail bytcr-5640. Do you think that the 4.9-rc5 kernel can help me and/or the final version of the 4.9 kernel available in december ? Do I need the quirks for my tablet ? How to check it ? I think it is similar of the Acer Aspire but i am not sure.

Thanks.

[youling257]

please you test ASoC: Intel: bytct_rt5640: change default capture settings ，ASoC: Intel: detect audio routing with CHAN package，https://github.com/plbossart/sound/tree/intel/audio-latest-fixes ，https://github.com/plbossart/UCM/commits/master

[Tuxman2]

For now I use a 4.4.x kernel. I would try with 4.8.8 available in kernel.org website but I must compile it. Do you think it is a good to test the 4.9-rc5 kernel and compile it ?

[wickedbiker]

Is there a way for someone who does not have Ubuntu and limited tech know how can apply a working sound fix for a windows next book flexx 11 z3735f baytrail soc?

I have been trying for over a year now and someone could please create a guide for dummies by either making an ISO, IMG, USB files, or step by step guide for baytrail android x86 sound for dummies, I would be very very thankful as I imagine hundreds of others would be as well.

Thank you

[Haxk20]

Lets say it like that do we need some patch to 4.9rc5 kernel for sound to work or we need only asound.state and firmware and UCM files ?

[ghost]

Instructions for * Nextbook Flexx 9 and 10 * and \ kernel 4.9-rc5 **

Reboot. You should have sound.

EDIT: And make damn sure you're running PulseAudio, regardless of what you might think of it. Once you experience the rt5640 alsa mixer, PulseAudio will seem like manna from heaven.

[youling257]

DMIC1_MAP，DMIC2_MAP，in1，in3，only for Internal Mic，if Internal Mic can't work，really need change quirk

[ghost]

Yep, you're correct. This gets the internal mic working. I updated the patch.

.driver_data = (unsigned long *)(BYT_RT5640_IN3_MAP | BYT_RT5640_MCLK_EN),

so ，what are you dmesg | grep 5640 ?

Thanks to jharrison022, I will try it this week. The Netbook flexx 10.1 seems similar to my hybrid PC (Medion Akoya) (same processor, same screen (but in 11.6"), same wifi card, 2Gb ram, and bytcr rt5640 card sound). About the compilation of the kernel, what family of the processor have you defined in the kernel configuration ? Atom or Core i5 ? The z3735f processor seems to be in the Core i5 family. About the source kernel, where have you downloaded it ? From kernel.org ?

Note: I think I must modify your 0014 patch for my hybrid tablet (vendor and product name). Can I keep this line : .driver_data = (unsigned long *)(BYT_RT5640_IN3_MAP | BYT_RT5640_MCLK_EN) ?

Must I blacklist snd-soc-sst-acpi and snd_soc_sst_acpi modules ? Else I've got this message : byt-rt5640 byt-rt5640: ASoC: CPU DAI baytrail-pcm-audio not registered

[wickedbiker]

I really wish someone here could please,PLEASE! help me get my sound working. I have the exact same next book as the the 10 only mine is 11" all hardware and software is exact. Please, I do not know how to patch a kernal nor do I have Ubuntu to do so. There must be some way????

[wickedbiker]

Is it maybe possible for someone who has a next book flexx 10.1 with sound working to upload their USB files or .ISO or .IMG

[nicman23]

@wickedbiker it is too soon for that. If it gets more complete and stable, i ll make a how to. Also please do not spam the issues.

[wickedbiker]

Whatever man! Good luck!!

[Tuxman2]

@wickedbiker: it is not difficult to apply a patch for the kernel. You need the kernel source, the patches and you must know some commands to edit and compile the kernel. There are some tutorials on the net.

[wickedbiker]

Thank you. Can I do it in android or does it have to be Ubuntu or some other Linux?
