Something doesn't make sense. Say we take a case stated not to work, ie 16 kHz with CPU at 96 MHz. If we assume stereo input and output running at simultaneously we have 16000 samples/sec x 4 audio channel x 1 EDMA transfer/audio channel = 64,000 EDMA transfer/second Give a clock rate of 96 M

Chaithrika, Can you elaborate on your "EDMA runs at a lower speed" comment ? The usual setup is to have McASP trigger EDMA transfer. An EDMA transfer runs at CPU speed. It should be plenty fast enough at 96 MHz. In the past I have seen issues where the CPU cache updating has priority over th

Kevin, With the cpufreq support on DA850/OMAP-L138 SoC we are observing that audio does not function as expected at all sampling rates for various operating points. At a CPU frequency of 96MHz, audio works fine with a sampling frequency of 8kHz. For other sampling rates, there are lot of underrun/
