Hello,
I recently upgraded from fc5 to f7 and have since been having problems
using a Multiface II card with the cardbus adapter. The output from any
jack app is choppy and there is background crackle as well. Jack/Alsa
both work fine on the internal laptop card. From the /var/log/messages
output, it looks like there *might* be a hardware/pci problem:
Some interesting dmesg output:
(if I boot with the default arguments)
PCI: Bus #03 (-#06) is hidden behind transparent bridge #02 (-#02) (try
'pci=assign-busses')
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:02:03.0
(if I boot the kernel with 'lapic pci=assign-busses, i still get)
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:02:03.0
I'm not sure if that is a red herring, but that happens to be the
location of the cardbus bridge. I've been testing this using PureData
and their sin wave sound card test, but all jack applications seem to
exhibit this problem. I've tried recording the output directly from PD
and playing it back on the internal card, and the artifacts are found in
the recording. I've also tried disabling drm and selinux with no luck.
This occurs on both the stock kernels and the rt-kernels (with either
the default alsa, or the kernel module Fernando just made). From looking
at the IRQs, it looks like IRQ10 is pretty full, but that seemed to work
fine for FC5.
Exact same hardware as before? It does look like a kernel problem in the
mainline kernel.
Is anyone using successfully using hdsp/multiface on F7 using the
CCRMA
repo packages? Does anyone have any additional troubleshooting ideas?
I used one briefly to test it in my laptop. I was running 64x2 with no
problems, but the test was not very long.
The only thing that jumps at me from the data in the email are the
latencies of the pci bus cards. The pci cards that have them are set to
128 and the hdsp is set to 255. Is that because you tried to optimize
them?
I normally see latencies on the order of 64... If you lower them, does
it make any difference?

Yes, it's the same hardware that was working on FC5.

I used one briefly to test it in my laptop. I was running 64x2 with no
problems, but the test was not very long.
The only thing that jumps at me from the data in the email are the
latencies of the pci bus cards. The pci cards that have them are set to
128 and the hdsp is set to 255. Is that because you tried to optimize
them?
I normally see latencies on the order of 64... If you lower them, does
it make any difference?
-- Fernando
Those are the default pci latency timer settings. As you suggested, I
lowered the latencies on several devices:
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82855PM Processor to AGP
Controller (rev 21)
Latency: 16 (was 128)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility
Radeon 9600 M10]
Latency: 20 (was 128)
02:03.0 CardBus bridge: ENE Technology Inc CB1410 Cardbus Controller
(rev 01)
Latency: 32 (was 168)
03:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation RME Hammerfall
DSP (rev 32)
Latency: 64 (was 255)
I set everything else to latency = 0, including ethernet, wireless, and
firewire (which I don't currently use anyways). Unfortunately, this
doesn't seem to have any effect on the symptoms. Does setpci perhaps
require either a system reboot or a restart of alsa? (btw, is
/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound missing in F7? I saw a few threads on this
for FC6, but there didn't seem to be a resolution). In any event, are
these new values more reasonable for a laptop? I did find a few
informative links on this issue, and it sounds like many people swear by
tweaking those latency values
(http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxSoundLatency.html, which also includes
links to other pci latency pages, if anyone is interested).
Anyways, I will try disabling devices one-by-one this weekend, and if
that doesn't help, I'll probably try building an older kernel.
Thanks for the help,

Yes, it's the same hardware that was working on FC5.

Those are the default pci latency timer settings. As you suggested, I
lowered the latencies on several devices:
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82855PM Processor to AGP
Controller (rev 21)
Latency: 16 (was 128)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility
Radeon 9600 M10]
Latency: 20 (was 128)
02:03.0 CardBus bridge: ENE Technology Inc CB1410 Cardbus Controller
(rev 01)
Latency: 32 (was 168)
03:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation RME Hammerfall
DSP (rev 32)
Latency: 64 (was 255)
I set everything else to latency = 0, including ethernet, wireless, and
firewire (which I don't currently use anyways). Unfortunately, this
doesn't seem to have any effect on the symptoms. Does setpci perhaps
require either a system reboot or a restart of alsa?
AFAIK the effect is immediate. A reboot will erase it...
(btw, is /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound missing in F7? I saw a few
threads
on this for FC6, but there didn't seem to be a resolution).
"alsasound" was never used by Fedora but only by Planet CCRMA. I don't
provide it anymore (it was part of the extra kernel modules from the time
alsa was not part of the mainline kernel - Fedora uses a different way to
modprobe the kernel modules relevant to the existing hardware).
In any event, are these new values more reasonable for a laptop? I
did
find a few informative links on this issue, and it sounds like many
people swear by tweaking those latency values
(http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxSoundLatency.html, which also includes
links to other pci latency pages, if anyone is interested).
Sometimes that can help. The absolute values don't matter as much as the
relative proportions so that one peripherial does not "hog" pci bandwidth.
Anyways, I will try disabling devices one-by-one this weekend, and if
that doesn't help, I'll probably try building an older kernel.
You could download and install (with "rpm -ivh", _not_ '-Uvh') the old
fc5
kernel. Hmmm, most probably it will not work as the configuration of the
disk subsystem has changed a lot between fc6 and fc7.
I don't know what would be the best way to report this to lkml...
