HDA on Sony Vaio VGN-FE31B

[MG!]

Hi forum,

I've installed the _devel_ version of OSS (4.2). As related to my speakers, everything works great.

My problem are the headphones (jack). When I try to run

Code: Select all

osstest 1

-1 because the /dev/dsp1 is a reference to my headphones- the test for the left and right sides works but in stereo there is a whoosh on the link (absolutely bad sound quality). Same result by using ossplay, mpg123 or any other music player. I hope someone can help me.

Notice that I've vmix _disabled_ in osscore.conf but the problem is still here when I activate vmix.

Thanks

I've got an idea, but you'll need to rebuild OSS4.
First, get the OSS4 source (you already have it since you have 4.2-rc3). Then edit kernel/drv/oss_hdaudio/hdaudio_codecids.h in the source tree and add the diff attached below. Afterward, rebuild OSS4 and reload it. ossinfo output should add a "Vaio/" prefix to the codec name and the stereo headphone sound should work.

Btw, why did you disable vmix? If you're using a different output, you can reassign vmix via vmixctl (You may want to enable "vmix_no_autoattach" option in osscore.conf to clean up the mixer in that case).

This patch adds primary the first codec attributes to the subdevices array in the hdaudio_codecids.h file...and now it works really good

With that patch I'm able to remove/insert the headphones, and OSS switched between the speakers and headphones. As it is now, i don't need to specify the virtual device file on the command line (-a mpg123; -f ossplay).

To control the volume I simply fire up

ossmix speaker 90

or with the help of ossxmix.

Thanks for your help,
