odumso Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 in case someone wants a working build (pre-1, before 6 channel stuff was added) for 10.4.7 Does audio still crash after about an hour or so?? It seems to be doing that for me. 0.2 and 0.3 crash alot on boot time for me as well. We have the same device. (4341) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelda Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 0.1 0.2 and 0.3 do not work for me .. KP at boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burty89 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Does the one I built cause kernel panics for either of you two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spugna Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 burty, it does to me. I can't paste the logs because of a terminal accident wile I was substituting the .kext (rm -r /System BING! ). I remember the last lines before it complained concerned AppleACPIplatform, AppleAPIC and IOAPCIFamily. Edit: my device id is 4370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrs2021 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 burty, the kP'in is cause the the resetting pointers in the dma, i am gonna try another method, BTW did you figure out what was up with the Audio looping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxas Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 It's funny, how a while ago this topic was almost dead, with like 1 coder and now there are like dozens of people lolzzzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burty89 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 On my system I only got crashes after using the system for a while and checking the value of getDMApointerwhatever (don't remember the name now...) sorted that problem. As for the audio looping, I've tried various things including replacing the getDMA* method with the one from the VIA driver (changed of course, commented out in the source on page 19) and other things like increasing the ring buffer size (doubled it) and nothing seems to solve the problem...

burty89 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I did try calling out_flush_dma(regs); when the return value was going to be greater than the size of the ring buffer (I assumed that would mean there was no sound left to play) but I just got no audio at all when I tried that...

thedopefishlives Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I have a build that appears to be stable. I've been running it for a few days and have not had any repeatable kernel panics. I had one at the beginning of my test run, which is why I haven't released it yet - not to mention chrs's report that the patch which fixes latency issues on my chipset appears to cause panics on his. More testing, more plugging away, and if it stays golden I'll release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedopefishlives Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 No, no, you're not being a jerk, it just sucks that what fixes a problem for me screws you. The problem with burty's "fix" is that it's not entirely correct. I think this new version has correct behavior that eliminates the looping, but those two lines are still in there. As far as SPDIF support, the Linux driver has essentially two different code paths for that. Heh. However, 6-channel analog *should*, theoretically, work "out of the box".

burty89 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 The problem with burty's "fix" is that it's not entirely correct. I never claimed it was entirely correct, it was just me trying to stop my system from locking up every 20 minutes or so, which my "fix" accomplished (with looping...)

thedopefishlives Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I know, burty, not blaming you. Actually, the problem is mine more than yours, because the value *should* be checked, which is what your code does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelda Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Dope, it would be better if you released your new version so that we can try it on different systems ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedopefishlives Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 chrs got a copy for testing purposes. I haven't released it because I'm still kinda testing it myself, but since I haven't heard back from him about it, I'm going to release it later today.

thedopefishlives Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Still debugging. Chrs tells me he had some problems, and we're working on a solution that will be unified across at least both of our chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
