This patch series attempts to fix the no audio at startup issues that have been occurring for some users, using information gained through reverse engineering the ca0132's onboard 8051 processor.
The issue of no audio on startup seemed to be caused by two separate problems: not resetting the codec upon initialization, and not making sure the DSP allocates it's DMA channels correctly. Tested and working on all cards, except for the AE-7. The AE-7 shouldn't have any issues, however, I don't have one on hand to test. Connor McAdams (5): ALSA: hda/ca0132 - Reset codec upon initialization. ALSA: hda/ca0132 - Add stream port remapping function. ALSA: hda/ca0132 - Add 8051 exram helper functions. ALSA: hda/ca0132 - Ensure DSP is properly setup post-firmware download. ALSA: hda/ca0132 - Remove now unnecessary DSP setup functions. sound/pci/hda/patch_ca0132.c | 558 ++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 354 insertions(+), 204 deletions(-) v2 changes: -Remove conditional mutexes from patches 3 and 4. -- 2.25.1
