| |
Hello All,
I have a problem with my laptop recording via the digital microphone. I did try to explain the problem on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95681, but I have heard no response on the issue, so I am bugging the mailing list in hopes that someone will have a magic fix for me. ;)
My laptop is a google chromebook, braswell, banon. It is of the intel strago family. When I try to record all I get is white noise. I can reduce the level of noise via alsamixer, but I have to reduce all the capture levels to 5 or lower.
I reached out to Sam McNally (thank you sam) from chromium regarding his patch to cht_bsw_rt5645.c adebb11139029ddf1fba6f796c4a476f17eacddc. He was quite nice and helpful. According to Sam, the banon chromebooks dmic works with their chromeos 4.9 and chromeos 5.4 kernels. Unfortunately the dmic still failed on my system when I tried the chromeos 5.4 kernel. Perhaps the problem is my new coreboot 4.11 bios, whereas chrome uses an older bios? I don't know.
Sam also pointed me to checking /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary. While recording I get..
pmc_plt_clk_0 0 0 0 19200000 0 0 50000
and while playing everything's fine and I get...
pmc_plt_clk_0 1 1 0 19200000 0 0 50000
This is clearly the problem. I don't know how to get the clock working with the capture function though.
My kernel configs are ...
SOUND = y SND = y SND_SOC = y SND_SOC_INTEL_MACH = y SND_SST_ATOM_HIFI2_PLATFORM = y SND_SST_ATOM_HIFI2_PLATFORM_ACPI = y I2C = y ACPI = y X86_INTEL_LPSS = y SND_SOC_ACPI = y SND_SOC_INTEL_CHT_BSW_RT5645_MACH = y SND_SOC_RT5645 = y SND_SOC_DMIC = y
and I am running linux 5.5.0. I welcome patches and suggestions, but have not subscribed to the mailing list because of the volume of emails, so please cc me with any response.
Thanks in advance.
Chris Gorman
