Devkit8000 Mic support

[trek-Oo]

I've been trying to get the mic to work. ive applied the fixes and
patches as mentioned in some of the earlier issues. I've managed to
record sound via ALSA aplay command.. and it plays back fine. But i
can't get any sound recording applications to work, each one giving me
a slightly different error and usually there are multiple errors. Also
when i playback a sound i recorded using ALSA commands the sound
duration doesn't not show up.

Here is an example when i run the standard android sound recorder:

Any idea?

[trek-Oo]

I'm assuming its to do with defining hooks in the alsa config. but
where do i define it? this alsa version doesnt use asound.conf

hi,

Did you apply changes done by 0xlab-kernel tree?
http://gitorious.org/0xlab-kernel/kernel/commit/8e8c008acb1feb56739c3189191a5af760b0fc1d

(commit commit 8e8c008acb1feb56739c3189191a5af760b0fc1d)

Thanks,
Jim Huang (jserv)
http://0xlab.org/

[trek-Oo]

Yes I've already applied all the patches to do with the registry
changes. I'm on the 2.6.29 kernel btw. will try my luck with the newer
kernel

hi,

As far as I know, Jeremy did it on omap3-2.6.32 branch.

Please try it again and report to us. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

[trek-Oo]

Thanks for the reply Jim,

I dunno if its any help but I think the error originates from this
line, after u hit record:
E/audio_input( 1566): unsupported parameter: x-pvmf/media-input-node/
cap-config-interface;valtype=key_specific_value

The problem seems to be related to the MediaPlayer. as im testing it
and this error shows at:
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);

this then leads to the AudioFlinger and AudioPolicyService servers
dying before any recording happens...

[Shun-Yu Chang]

Hi, Tarik:
I would admit I have not touched devkit8k for a while.
I used to use Ringdroid to test the recording.

If you can use alsa_aplay -C command to do the recording and if it
works, then I think the problem is not at kernel but at upper layer.

and you should focus on why AudioFlinger dying.
You can unmark "#define LOG_NDEBUG 0" in AudioFlinger.cpp got get more
log of AudioFlinger.

Regards,
Jeremy Chang

Hi Jeremey,

Thanks for the reply.

I've turned debug on for AudioFlinger, AudioPolicyService, AudioSystem
(just to make sure lol). Here is the log below. Again media services
died straight after I clicked record.. but I dnt even know if thats
related.. It seems like AudioPolicyService is getting some input as
the volume is changing.... I dont understand why the media servers are
constantly dying :(

I hope you can make something out of this log.

Kind regards,
Tarik

Turns out the problem originates from the opencore library. I replaced
the 2.07 with the older 2.02 library and its working fine now.

[kchin...@gmail.com]

hi trek,

Can you post full details regarding opencore library ..from where to get and where we have to replace those libraries in source tree

Regards

Hi  all,

Could you please share the alsa amixer commands for record (devkit8000) ?

Thanks,
Anil
