|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device sound"
|
|

|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The High Definition (HD) Audio specification was developed by Intel as the
|
|
logical successor of the old AC'97 specification and has several advantages,
|
|
such as higher bandwidth which allows more channels and more detailed formats,
|
|
support for several logical audio devices, and general purpose DMA channels.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver is a HDA bus controller driver and HDA codecs audio functions bridge
|
|
driver that allows the generic audio driver,
|
|
.Xr sound 4 ,
|
|
to be used with this hardware.
|
|
Only audio functions are supported by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
Modem, HDMI and other possible functions are not implemented.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports hardware that conforms with revision 1.0 of the Intel High
|
|
Definition Audio specification and tries to behave much like the Microsoft
|
|
Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) draft (revision 0.7b) for handling audio
|
|
devices.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
According to HDA and UAA specifications, depending on the number of HDA buses
|
|
and codecs present in system, their audio capabilities and BIOS provided
|
|
configuration, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver often provides several PCM audio devices.
|
|
For example, one device for main rear 7.1 output and inputs, one device
|
|
for independent headset connectors at front and one device for SPDIF or
|
|
HDMI audio input/output.
|
|
The assignment of audio inputs and outputs may be tuned with
|
|
.Xr device.hints 5 .
|
|
The driver's verbose boot messages provide a lot of information about
|
|
the operation of the driver and present audio setup.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The default audio device may be tuned by setting the
|
|
.Ar hw.snd.default_unit
|
|
sysctl, as described in
|
|
.Xr sound 4 ,
|
|
or explicitly specified in application settings.
|
|
.Ss Boot-time Configuration
|
|
The following variables are available at boot-time through the
|
|
.Xr device.hints 5
|
|
file:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va hint.hdac.%d.config"-offset indent
|
|
.It Va hint.hdac.%d.config
|
|
Configures a range of possible options.
|
|
Possible values are:
|
|

|
|
.Dq Li senseinv ,
|
|
.Dq Li softpcmvol ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq Li vref .
|
|
An option prefixed with
|
|
.Dq Li no ,
|
|
such as
|
|
.Dq Li nofixedrate ,
|
|
will do the opposite and takes precedence.
|
|
Options can be separated by whitespace and commas.
|
|
.Dq Li GPIO Ns s
|
|
are a codec's General Purpose I/O pins which system integrators sometimes
|
|
use to control external muters, amplifiers and so on.
|
|
If you have no sound, or sound volume is not adequate, you may have to
|
|
experiment a bit with the GPIO setup to find the optimal setup for your
|
|
system.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq Li ivref Ns Ar X
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq Li ovref Ns Ar X
|
|
options control the voltage used to power external microphones.
|
|
.It Va hint.hdac.%d.msi
|
|
Controls MSI (Message Signaled Interrupts) support.
|
|
.It Va hint.hdac.%d.cad%d.nid%d.config
|
|
Overrides codec pin configuration set by BIOS.
|
|
May be specified as a 32-bit hexadecimal value with a leading
|
|
.Dq 0x ,
|
|
or as a set of space-separated
|
|
.Dq Ar option Ns = Ns Ar value
|
|
pairs.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Pin configuration is the UAA driver's main source of information about codec
|
|
usage.
|
|
This information is usually provided by the codec manufacturer and tuned
|
|
by system integrators for specific system requirements.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver allows users to override it to fix integrator mistakes or to use the
|
|
available codec in alternative ways (for example to get stereo output and 2
|
|
inputs instead of a single 5.1 output).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va device=" -offset indent
|
|
.It Va as
|
|
Association number.
|
|
Associations are used to group individual pins to form a complex multi-pin
|
|
device.
|
|
For example, to group 4 connectors for 7.1 output, or to treat several
|
|
input connectors as sources for the same input device.
|
|
Association numbers can be specified as numeric values from 0 to 15.
|
|
A value of 0 means disabled pin.
|
|
A value of 15 is a set of independent unassociated pins.
|
|
Each association includes only pins of the same direction (in/out) and is
|
|
detected atomically (all pins or none).
|
|
A separate PCM audio device is created for every pair of input and
|
|
output associations.
|
|
.It Va seq
|
|
Sequence number.
|
|
A unique, per-association number used to order pins inside the
|
|
particular association.
|
|
Sequence numbers can be specified as numeric values from 0 to 15.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The sequence number 15 has a special meaning for output associations.
|
|
Output pins with this number and device type
|
|
.Dq Ar Headphones
|
|
will duplicate (with automatic mute if jack detection is supported) the
|
|
first pin in that association.
|
|
.It Va device
|
|
Device type.
|
|
Can be specified as a number from 0 to 15 or as a name:
|
|
.Dq Li Line-out ,
|
|
.Dq Li Speaker ,
|
|
.Dq Li Headphones,
|
|
.Dq Li CD ,
|

|
|
.Dq Li Digital-in ,
|
|
.Dq Li Res.E ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq Li Other .
|
|
The device type also describes the pin direction (in/out).
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Dq Li CD
|
|
always means an input pin, while
|
|
.Dq Li Headphones
|
|
always means an output.
|
|
.It Va conn
|
|
Connection type.
|
|
Can be specified as a number from 0 to 3.
|
|
The connection type can also be specified as one of the special names
|
|
.Dq Li Jack ,
|
|
.Dq Li None ,
|
|
.Dq Li Fixed ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq Li Both .
|
|
Pins with a connection type of
|
|
.Dq Li None
|
|
are disabled.
|
|
.It Va ctype
|

|
|
This is a reference only value.
|
|
It is ignored by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver.
|
|
.It Va loc
|
|
Connector physical location.
|
|
Can be specified as a number from 0 to 63.
|
|
This is a reference only value.
|

driver.
|
|
.It Va misc
|
|
Misc bits.
|
|
Can be specified as a number from 0 to 15.
|
|
Bit 0 has a special meaning. When set it means that jack detection is
|
|
not implemented in hardware.

.El
|
|
.Ss Runtime Configuration
|
|
The following
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variables are available in addition to those available to all
|
|
.Xr sound 4
|
|
devices:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va dev.hdac.%d.polling" -offset indent
|
|
.It Va dev.hdac.%d.polling
|
|
Enables polling mode.
|
|
In this mode the driver operates by querying the device state on timer
|
|
ticks using
|
|
.Xr callout 9
|
|
instead of interrupts.
|
|
Polling is disabled by default.
|
|
Do not enable it unless you are facing weird interrupt problems or if the
|
|
device cannot generate interrupts at all.
|
|
.It Va dev.hdac.%d.polling_interval
|
|
Controller/Jack Sense polling interval (1-1000 ms)
|
|
.It Va dev.hdac.%d.pindump
|
|
Setting this to a non-zero value dumps the current pin configuration, main
|
|
capabilities and jack sense status to console and syslog.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Taking HP Compaq DX2300 with Realtek ALC888 HDA codec for example.
|
|
This system has two audio connectors on a front side, three audio connectors
|
|
on a rear side and one internal speaker.
|
|
According to verbose driver output and the codec datasheet,
|
|
this codec has five stereo DACs and two stereo ADCs, all of them are routable to
|
|
any codec pin (external connector).
|
|
All codec pins are reversible (could be configured either as input or output).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
So high codec uniformity and flexibility allow driver to configure it in many
|
|
different ways, depending on requested pins usage decribed by pins configuration.
|
|
The driver reports such default pin configuration when verbose messages enabled:
|
|

|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Here we can see, that the nodes with ID (nid) 25 and 27 are front panel
|
|
connectors (Jack, loc 2), nids 20, 24 and 26 are rear panel connectors
|
|
(Jack, loc 1) and nid 21 is a built-in speaker (Fixed, loc 25).
|
|
Pins with nids 22, 23, 28, 30 and 31 will be disabled by driver due to "None"
|
|
connectivity. So the pin count and description matches to connectors that
|
|
we have.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Using association (as) and sequence (seq) fields values pins are grouped into
|
|
3 associations:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
hdac0: Association 0 (1) out:
|
|
hdac0: Pin nid=21 seq=0

|
device uses two associations: one for playback and one for recording.
|
|
Associations processed and assigned to
|
|
.Xr pcm 4
|
|

|
|
In this case association #0 (1) will become

|
|
device playback, using the internal speakers and
|
|
.Ar Headphones
|
|
jack with speaker automute on the headphones jack connection.
|
|
Association #1 (2) will become
|
|
.Li pcm1
|
|
playback, using the
|
|
.Ar Line-out

jack.
|
|
Association #2 (3) will become
|

.Li pcm0
|
|
recording, using the external microphones and the

|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides extensive verbose messages to diagnose its operation
|
|
logic and describe its current codec configuration.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Using
|
|
.Xr device.hints 5
|
|
it is possible to modify the configuration of the existing pins,
|
|
allowing a broad range of different audio setups.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
A few Hardware/OEM vendors tend to screw up BIOS settings, thus
|
|
rendering the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver useless, which usually results in a state where the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver seems to attach and work, but without any sound. Some of
|
|
that cases can be solved by tuning loader.conf variables. But before
|
|
trying to fix problem that way, make sure that problem is really exists
|
|
and the PCM audio device you are using really corresponds to expected
|
|
audio connector.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Due to OSS limitation multichannel (not multidevice) playback is not
|
|
supported.
