From: "chihhao.chen" <chihhao.chen@mediatek.com>

The following scenario describes an echo test for
Samsung USBC Headset (AKG) with VID/PID (0x04e8/0xa051).

We first start a capture stream(USB IN transfer) in 96Khz/24bit/1ch mode.
In clock find source function, we get value 0x2 for clock selector
and 0x1 for clock source.

Kernel-4.14 behavior
Since clock source is valid so clock selector was not set again.
We pass through this function and start a playback stream(USB OUT transfer)
in 48Khz/32bit/2ch mode. This time we get value 0x1 for clock selector
and 0x1 for clock source. Finally clock id with this setting is 0x9.

Kernel-5.10 behavior
Clock selector was always set one more time even it is valid.
When we start a playback stream, we will get 0x2 for clock selector
and 0x1 for clock source. In this case clock id becomes 0xA.
This is an incorrect clock source setting and results in severe noises.
We see wrong data rate in USB IN transfer.
(From 288 bytes/ms becomes 144 bytes/ms) It should keep in 288 bytes/ms.

This earphone works fine on older kernel version load because
this is a newly-added behavior.

Thanks for the patch.

This looks like a regression introduced by the recent commit
d2e8f641257d ("ALSA: usb-audio: Explicitly set up the clock
selector"), which is a fix for certain devices.  Too bad that the
behavior really depends on the device...

Maybe we need to introduce some flag to handle this commonly, but for
now, let's take the fix as is.

Dr. Iwai, perhaps we could restrict the generalized fix for the
Behringer UFX1604 / UFX1204 with some simple logic to devices that
only have *one* clock source.

In that case the clock selector must be set to the only clock source.

This way we keep the generalization without breaking devices with more
than one clock source.

Just an idea.

Thank you,

I tried to convey in code what I had in mind.

It's a rough sketch and very much untested.

I don't think it's easy to generalize.  All those bugs are more or
less BIOS bugs, and a logic doesn't apply always, just because it's a
bug :)  For example, setting the clock selector itself should be a
valid operation from the specification POV, while this leads to
breakage on some devices.  So, even if we add a more generic
workaround, we need to see which side effect is more commonly seen at
first.

Hello,

Like I said in one of the other emails in this thread, it's hard to
pinpoint a cause for the breakage of Samsung USBC Headset (AKG) with
VID/PID (0x04e8/0xa051) without the lsusb -v of the device in
question.

But from the description Chihhao Chen gave in the original message,
I'm *guessing* the Clock Source for the Samsung USB Headset (AKG) runs
at 48000hz and that we'd see a 2x Clock Multiplier in the lsusb -v

This is all a wild guess, without the lsusb -v it's impossible to be
sure, but if I'm right then the valid setting for the Microphone's
Clock Selector is the Clock Multiplier, not the Clock Source, which,
remember, runs at half the clock, hence why Chihhao Chen sees half the
data rate for USB IN.

Unfortunately our kernel code presently *does* always set the Clock
Selector to the Clock Source, which is a bad assumption to make in my
humble opinion.

The only valid case for setting the Clock Selector to the Clock Source
is when there's precisely one Clock Selector, precisely one Clock
Source and no Clock Multipliers.

In that special case we may be able to touch the setting of the only
Clock Selector to match the only Clock Source.

And, frankly, the only reason we're forced to do that explicitly is
because some Behringer gear (Archwave AG DACs) gets confused and seems
to somehow keep the old rate on the Clock Selector upon sample rate
change.

Thank you,
Geraldo Nascimento

Thank you, Chihhao.

So I was wrong about Samsung USBC Headset (AKG) with VID/PID
(0x04e8/0xa051) having a Clock Multiplier.

There are two Clock Sources, both linked to the USB SOF with fixed sample rate.

Plus two Clock Selectors which are host-programmable and can be set to
either of the two Clock Sources.


I'm still at a loss to explain what is going wrong here.

Would a printk() reveal the first explicit
uac_clock_selector_set_val() on the Clock Selector associated with
USB_IN sets Clock Source ID to pin 1 with Clock Source ID 0x9?

Or is it the other way around, i.e. it sets the Clock Source ID to pin
2 with Clock ID 0xA for the capture stream Clock Selector?


Chihhao Chen, could you please try the following patch for debugging
purposes and share what is printed in dmesg?

Please try one time with your fix applied and one time without, i.e.
with an otherwise unmodified vanilla kernel.

Thank you,
Geraldo Nascimento

That's what I understood initially, and only a little later I became
afraid echo test was the name of the debugging technique you used :)

Thanks for the clarification.

Chihhao Chen,

Since you're the one with the hardware I believe the bug report for
Samsung should be done by your side.

Maybe Takashi Iwai has somebody in mind that develops audio code for
Samsung and has already contributed to ALSA?

It's best if Takashi Iwai helps you out, and you take the shortcut to
the corporate structure, otherwise the importance of our findings may
be underestimated.

Chihhao Chen, please include the following link in your bug report to
Samsung: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1466711/

I'd politely remind them that the headset requires a very specific
quirk to work with recent Linux, that the patch has entered Linux-Next
however it's a workaround because the headset is apparently breaking
UAC compliance when it sets both Clock Selectors at the same time,
regardless of what Clock Selector we tell it to set via USB Control
Message.

But you're free to do as you wish. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Good luck,
Geraldo Nascimento

The fact that there's no noise during the echo test itself doesn't mean
it's not a firmware bug.

It may just mean the MIC is able to support both 48KHz and 96KHz.

Because from the log we see both Clock Selectors end up selected to pin 1.

Thank you,
