Incomplete ALSA support for Cirrus Logic CS4206 chip?
Hey gang! First a bit about my system. I'm running the 2.6.35-ARCH kernel on my macbook pro 5,5 which has an HDA NVidia soundcard with a Cirrus Logic CS4206 chip. I have my audio playback working through ALSA (arch packages alsa-lib, alsa-oss, alsa-utils, alsa-plugins) and have installed jack2-svn, qjackctl, and ardour3-svn.
My goal for the time being is to be able to track on ardour, recording from my internal mic. (I have an audio interface but no other mic at the moment) I know this is less than ideal but I just want to be able to record so I can start learning ardour while I save for a mic
My Problem seems to be with ALSA. I can get my jack server up and running, and Ardour recognizes it and makes the connection. (unlocking my memory is something else I need to figure out). Ir have tried every combination of input/out configurations for my master, and initial audio track but I when I do hear input from my mic it always is with the same quirks. There is a large amount of hiss and distortion of with audio, the level meter never changes as if ardour doesn't think anything audio is playing, and when ardour records this distorted input no waveform is shown but the sounds do playback (and once again no movement of the level meters).
Now this is what my alsamixer looks like with F5 (view all):
http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6092/alsamixer.png
It would seem that I have no input device selection abilities in the mixer. I can change the the volume of capture and turn on and off the left and right channels of the capture. (in the screen I understand that only the left channel is on. it just created less distortion this way). But the same problems persist in ardour. Obviously wrong somewhere in this chain of processes!
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much for your time!
ok.. problem solved, had to reinstall alsa and then pulse audio and again start playing with things with alsa mixer like nagoonee recommended,
thanks !

Cirrus Logic CS4206 (AB 18) Windows doesn't work with iMac 21,5" i3 3,2 GHz
Hello everybody,
I have a problem with my driver for audio. My Cirrus Logic CS4206 (AB 18) doesn't make a sound. I installed the drivers from the Mac OS X INSTALL DVD again. But noting happend. There is a error code 37. I don't know what to do! I am really desperate. I tried to deactivate the Cirrus Logic CS4206 (AB 18). But nothing happened again. Please tell me what I have to do, that I get some sound out of my iMac. I am using a iMac 21,5" i3 3,2 GHz with Windows Vista 32 bit. Please help me. It is very very urgent!!!Same problem here, did you find any solution? The sound card isn't detected and the windows update says the drivers are upto date.

No prob with 7, but where can i get support for my Logic 6? Nobody?
Hello everyone, My name is Aytekin Kurt and I'm a well-known producer in my country, Turkey with a career including a national No.1 and a dozen Top 10 tracks as a writer and a producer. What's more, I was in Oakenfold's Grammy-nominated (Best Electronic/Dance Album) Creamfields CD with my track "First Sight". I have been using Logic (since version 4.7) since 2000. I even gave lectures on how to use Logic in a pro production environment. Always a big fan of Apple (All my desktops, laptops, iPods over the years...) and Emagic. However, I'm about to go crazy with a Logic 6 issue and no-one's helping me out. This *****.
I have no problem with my Logic 7 (Support ID:R1CY2ABHRPW)
which I use in my studio with a PowerMac G5. It's amazing. What Apple and Emagic have done together to Logic is incredible. I love using it, which I do almost every single day. But, I also have a Logic 6 on my laptop (G4 15"). My XSKey had problems and I wrote to Emagic and asked for urgent help. Then, the key was working fine and I forgot about it. In a month's time I recieved a second key and was asked to send my old key back to Germany and then get access codes for the new key. Well, I did NOT do that, cause the old one was working and I was working everyday on 2 different projects.
Last week, when i was just about to upgrade to 7, I lost my first key. I kindly request Apple or Emagic to somehow help me and give me codes for the second key I have. So, I can activate my Logic 6 and then upgrade it to 7. But, Apple suggests (on the website) to contact Emagic. But, no-one replies to those e-mail addresses they put in there...
What do you suggest I do? This is frustrating. I need those codes. I guess without those codes, it's useless to go get an upgrade package, right? What kind of a support understanding is this? Where is the support for Logic 6? Since Emagic is NOT functional anymore, why doesn't Apple support us on former versions? Just help me upgrade to 7.
Any one with any ideas? Anyone knows how to contact Emagic? (rather than [email protected] or [email protected] and all the phone numbers we used to be able to call)
Thanks in advance
Aytekin Kurt
[email protected]
P.S.: All of this might seem irrelevant on a Logic 7 forum, but I'm still a Logic (both 7 & 6) user and I tried everything else....What version of the Mac OS is it running? That might narrow the search, It's easier to find stuff that runs under 10.4 Tiger than anything older. The only recently updated browser that still runs under 10.3.9 Panther is Camino 1.6.11, updated about a year ago. It's free and here:
Camino 1.6.11
BTW, "where to get" questions around here are much more easily answered if you provide a geographic location. Otherwise people will load you up with links to places that may not ship to your location. -
The new 338S0987 chip from cirrus logic, used in the new 4s has inferior sound quality to the old cs42L61 chip found in the 4 and 3G. Can the 338S0987 chip be improved?
The new chip is very compressed and has hissing artifacts. It sacrifices sound quality for reduced energy consumption. This is a problem for me because I am building a musical instrument app that is adversly affected by the new cirrus logic chip. Audio fidelity is suffering.
Is there any chance for a software/driver tweak of this chip, or my I please request an improvement on the next iphone model?

Future support for using PL/SQL core business logic with ADF BC
We want to migrate our large Forms client/server (6i) application to ADF, possibly using a migration tool like Ciphersoft Exodus.
One scenario could be to use ADF BC and ADF-Faces or a different JSF-Implementation for presentation and business layer but keep our heavy PL/SQL-businesslogic inside the Oracle database in packages, triggers, functions and procedures.
This scenario could be chosen due to the huge amount of interconnected logic inside the database (10 years of development; no technical components; any package may access any table and more of this kind of dependencies). The business logic nowadays held in Forms client will be moved mainly into the database as a prerequisite to this scenario.
Choosing this "keep-logic-in-DB"-scenario we need a good support by ADF BC to do so. We know and prototyped that it is possible to call some PL/SQL via JDBC from ADF BC and it is possible to use stored procedure calls for standard business entity data access (ins, del, upd, ..). But this does not solve our problems. We want to reuse core business logic coded in PL/SQL. This is much more than change the ADF standard behavior for an update with an own PL/SQL-call.
Now my question:
Will there be a kind of sophisticated support to use ADF BC in combination with database-kept logic?
If so, when will this happen and how will the common problems of transactional state inside the database and inside the ADF BC be solved? Any plans or ideas yet?
Many other clients do have similar applications built in Forms and PL/SQL and would be glad to hear about a path of direction.
I've read the technical article 'understanding the ADF BC state management feature' which you have contributed to. One current limitation is pointed out there: Using PL/SQL with ADF BC limits ADF AM pooling to 'restricted level' which reduces scalability.
Are you aware of additional main problems/tasks to solve when using PL/SQL heavily with ADF BC, which we have to think about?
Thank you for any response.
IngmarMy main problem is two 'concurrent' areas holding state in an application system based on DB-stored PL/SQL-logic in combination with ADF BC.
For a new System everything can be made ok:
Sure, it is possible to build a new system with the business logic included in ADF BC only. All long-living state will be handled in the BC layer ( including support for UnitsOfWork longer than the webside short HTTP-requests and HTTP-sessions and longer than the database transactions.
For an old system these problems arise:
1. DB data changes not reflected in BC layer:
Our PL/SQL-logic changes data in tables without notifying the ADF BC layer (and its cache). To keep the data in ADF BC entity objects identical to the changed database content a synchronization is needed. BC does not know which part of the application data has been changed because it has not initiated the changes through its entity objects. Therefore a full refresh is needed. In a Forms4GL environment the behavior is similar: We do frequently requeries of all relevant (base)tables after calling database stored logic to be sure to get the changed data to display and to operate on it.
-> Reengineering of the PL/SQL-logic to make the ADF BC layer aware of the changes is a big effort (notifying BC about any change)
2. longer living database transactions
Our PL/SQL-logic in some areas makes use of lengthy database transactions. The technical DB-transaction is similar to the UnitOfWork. If we call this existing logic from ADF BC, database state is produced which will not be DB-committed in the same cycle.
This reduces scalability of ADF BC AM pooling.
Example:
a) Call a DB-stored logic to check if some business data is consistent and prepare some data for versioning. This starts a DB-transaction but does not commit it.
b) Control is handed back to the user interface. Successful result of step a) is displayed
c) User now executes the versioning operation
d) Call another DB-stored logic to execute the versioning. DB-transaction is still open
e) Business layer commits the transaction automatically after successful finishing step d). Otherwise everything from a) to e) is rolled back.
-> redesign of this behavior (= cutting the 1to1 relation between LogicalUnitOfWork and the technicalDatabaseTransaction is a big effort due to the big amount of code. -
OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I'm sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP! I was going to buy a new Mac pro & two 27" monitors but until I see some real problem addressing by Apple...I'll keep what I have and see how everything pans out. If anyone has any comments to ally my fears, I welcome them. I've been a devoted Mac user since 1993. 7500; G4; G5; and my latest Mac Pro...Where do I go? Again...HELP!
Hi there,
If you look through ALL the reviews, they are mainly good. I feel that Lion is an excellent upgrade, although not essential.
There have been some issues with MS Office, but right now, it is up to Microsoft to issue a Lion compatible update, which will come in time. Saying this, MS Office has been working fine on my mac, it seems to be an isolated issue.
Logic 9 seems like a strange issue. Again, an update looks to be coming soon, with Lion support.
I do not feel that apple only focusing on the iPhone and iPad user base. There are many features carried along, but the machine can still be used for pro tools and use just as well. It still is a fantastic, reliable, fast, easy to use OS, which I have had very few problems with. Some additions you may not use, but they don't get in the way. You will love the new Exposé, Mission Control, as it is great for pro users who have many windows open at once, and the new spaces. You may however, never use Launchpad, but you don't have to, just drag it away from the dock!
I really reccomend buying a mac with Lion, although if you are worried about bugs, wait a few months for the issues to be ironed out, and updates to be given. Because the update is so very cheap, I really think you can hardly go wrong. Try it out with your current mac, and if you like it, go ahead and buy your new ones.
Lion is fantastic, albeit maybe rushed.
Any other queries, just ask,

I have a new EV6 Alpha available and want to run Forte on it.
OpenVMS v7.1-2 is a supported OS for Forte v30G2 and 30L2 I think.
OpenVMS v7.1-2 is a supported OS for the new EV6 Alpha chipset.
Will Forte v30G2 or 30L2 work on this hardware?
Is it supported on this platform?
When will it be supported on the EV6 chip set and what version of Forte do
I
need?
Thanks,

I think, SUN is not al all interested in TOOL.If TOOL were just a language and had no market yet, you are probably
right. But, not only is TOOL the key to the Forte environment, but it has
an existing and profitable market. Sun still sells FORTRAN, after all, and
continues to put money into ADE development for all its language
products. The real kicker, though, is that I think iPlanet is very clear
that Fusion, now iIS, is a very key product for them. There may be those
who wish it were written in Java and who might lobby for doing a Java
version, but it was clear at the conference that the iPlanet management
recognize that Java just isn't up to the task at this point. It isn't as
if all the iPlanet tools are actually written in Java, after all.
They will only support them for as long as they need.Or, more likely, for as long as they make money.

succesfull this will be, but I expect Microsoft to push this down the

Where is the support for Logic???
Anyone knows if there exists any support for Logic?
A phone number?
A support forum?
A mail support address?
Any other support application?
This is a shame...I was only pointing out that the suport apple offers is not support IMO, not criticizing your post.
Having to pay for a support that should be included whenever you buy a software is a shame IMO.
It's a shame that apple only offers true support for ipods:
From this url: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
"mail support is available for iTunes Store and .Mac, and Apple Photo Services questions."
"Mac and iPod customers within 90 days of ownership are eligible for complimentary phone support — one support incident per iPod and unlimited incidents per Mac. iPhone comes with up to two years of technical support while your iPhone is subscribed to wireless service from one of Apple's exclusive wireless carriers for iPhone."
And what about pro users that use their software (like Logic or Final cut) for living? And more: does an ipod or an iphone cost more than Logic studio?
This is a shame.
But thanks anyway for your help. -

It seems that the problem is that udev hasn't yet created the sound devices when the alsa script tries to restore the sound volume.
I don't know if it has been fixed. Maybe moving alsa to the end of the DAEMONS array will give more time to udev to create the device so the sleep 5 won't be necessary anymore. I might test that out.
Sounds about right. I reinstalled Arch and did not add sleep 5. Now the volume is muted at startup -
Support for Logical Databases PNP/PNPCE
On this topic I would like to know:
1. Will SAP will continue to support PNP or will support for PNP be eventually phased out?
2. Were can I find the official SAP document that covers the introduction of PNPCE?
3. Where is it stated officially by SAP the recommendation for all new development to use PNPCE?
Edited by: John McKee on Oct 14, 2009 11:17 AMHi John,
I can not make an official SAP statement here but given the fact that there are several thousand reports based on PNP from SAP and even more from Customers the answer is:
1. Will SAP will continue to support PNP
Yes
1. will support for PNP be eventually phased out?
No
2. Were can I find the official SAP document that covers the introduction of PNPCE?
3. Where is it stated officially by SAP the recommendation for all new development to use PNPCE?
Go to trasnaction SE36 enter PNPCE as LDB and read the thorough documentation.
PNPCE has simply a nicer Selection screen and much more options to predefine it in the report class.
If you have no CE you can simply use it in the old PNP-mode for details see the extensive documentation.
Hope that answers your qestions,
Michael

Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 11) in 15" macbook pro i7 on Vista x64 not working
I am trying to get the audio working on my brand new macbook pro 15" i7 on Vista x64. It says the chip is Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 11) but there are no drivers available on the internet. I'm using the BootCamp 3.1 that came with the MBP's Snow Leopard 10.6.3 install dvd.
Currently Vista says
Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)
Thanks!I solved this on my laptop just now, but not quite sure how.
I uninstalled the driver, and clicked the checkbox when uninstalling the driver to delete the files.
Then, after rebooting, it worked. I suspect it worked because I had earlier installed other drivers, which it then defaulted to. I installed the realtek audio drivers off the Mac OS X cd, but I suspect that wasn't it.
I installed cirrus logic drivers from here:
http://www.cirrus.com/en/support/lic/lic3.html?uri=/en/pubs/software/CS4207WinVista_Win7_32-64-bit6-6001-1-21.zip
Or maybe it was the vista drivers I got from:
http://www.stuffedcow.net/macbook_audio
Or maybe these two sources drivers' are the same - and I did just get it from the cirrus site
If you get it working, I recommend you reply here and state exactly what it was that got it working for you. Just make sure to uninstall the driver and in doing so delete the files too (there's a checkbox in vista). This way it will default to what appears to be older drivers if/when you install those.

[Troubleshoot] Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 32) issues
Hi,
I brought my iMac back in december 2011 and have been using the default microphone ever since, recently I've noticed that the quality of the mic had deteriorated and so I decided to buy a new one. I purchased the Sandberg Headset One (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sandberg-125-26-Headset-One/dp/B003OYOBY0) with the headphone splitter adapter, the microphone works perfectly on OSX and is very good quality for the price, although when I'm on Windows 7 via bootcamp the microphone stops working alltogether and the default iMac Microphone is all the works, the headphones on the headset still work, it's just the mic that is malfunctioning. I've tried to install new drivers for the Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 32) sound card but no luck getting the microphone to work at this point.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue and get the microphone to work on Windows, or has anyone else experianced this issue?

Why are no audio devices detected? (may involve Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 11) )
this is the last problem i have with boot camp. I finally managed to run the boot camp driver install thing, which fixed all the driver problems except that i still have no sound, i have tried the built in speakers, headphones, and some external speakers, but none of them are detected. Also, the sound works fine in Mac OSX mode, just not in windows.
I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, so i would probably need the drivers for that OSI solved this on my laptop just now, but not quite sure how.

SOLVED - BIOS UPDATE "SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN the NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT for this VERSION of HPQflash
If you get infamous error when updating HP Portables (laptops/notebooks/ netbooks) BIOS within Windows:
"SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT FOR THIS VERSION OF HPQFLASH":
I am posting a solution found for own business laptop (HP 8540W & 8760W) so WebSearch engines index/register it in a few days - future sufferers come here and get a SOLUTION, finally. Disreagrd previous "experts" advises, they don't work 100% & pity on TechSupport folks who get HP paychecks yet don't know products their co. designs/manufactures (on deep Technical level):
Below is a SOLUTION (WORKING) !
Go into Services (Run "services.msc" or get there thru ControlPanel-->AdminTools-->), find following 2 services ==> make sure they're running, chances are they're NOT (as in my case I keep them disabled unless need running):
1) "HP Software Framework"
2) "HP Service" [no typo - a real plain name]
If not running, set Properties-->Manual and click "Start", make sure both are running.
Rerun BIOS updater, choose option for "Within Windows" or something to that effect (using HPQ/ROMpaq updater), rather than "create USB BootDisk on Key", this time it should work without the hassle of a BootDisk creation.
Should work from within Windows environment.
Notes:
a) Likely only one (1) service is responsible - namely "HP Software Framework" for HPQ Updater to fail, but doesn't hurt to reenable/restart both services.
I in fact am responding to other customers who elect to Update BIOS within Windows, perhaps oldfashioned but to me Boot Updater is more natural & always works regardless of WMI Support.
b) After done, don't forget:
*) Recheck BIOS settings - update may've added new and/or changed old, so rescan tobe sure.
**) Go BACK into Windows-->Services.msc & redisable both aforementioned Services if were originally disabled; or you're a computer Pro, you know what you're doing & like me keep all HP services disabled. The ones we got on EliteBook 8760W are pests consuming system resources, you just enable "Software Framework" when occasional issues emerge with HP softupdate (typically no issues) & redisable after use, rest of services are bloatware - some attempt to overrun Windows Wireless console, some seekout HP Networked printers (Ethernet, Wireless, but not USB), some do this & that - I study/know which one does what and decided to disable all. This is called a "minimalist" philosophy & turns your machine into a fast beast, I recently sold a very obsolete 4-year laptop which however handles 3DMCAD & complex designs/simulations, better new machines out fo a store, as new machines are loaded w/bloatware chocking down resources.
BUT nobody is requiring you to disable anything though.
The solution merely states the fact:
These 2 (or 1) services when not running halt BIOS Update "within Windows" (you can still run "BootDisk option", however, if preferred).
Simply restartung them solves your problem. Usually
Ya'll have a good day and enjoy!
===========
BELOW ARE IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
1) IF YOUR BIOS UPDATE STILL FAILS, SOME OTHER PIECE IN WMI SUPPORT IS MISSING - IN MY CASE WAS THESE 2 SERVICES, BUT THERE'S REMOTE POSSIBILITY SOMETHING ELSE MIGHT BLOCK UPDATER. DON'T WASTE TIME & CHOOSE "USB/BootDisk" options instead
2) Once BIOS updater does its job, will ask to auto-restart - let it go on & complete, it will self-shutdown (click "Next" to skip 60-second timer), then do NOT turn it on manually!, wait - it'll turn on by itself in 15 seconds, let it boot into Windows, you're done!
3) WARNING: close other apps before proceeding, be 100% sure your ACpower won't be interrupted or better yet - make sure battery is in/charged (so if ACpower accidentally disconnects, you're autoswitched onto battery) b/c power loss may result in severe damage to internal hardware. In the old days it'd result in fatal damage, these days powerloss would still result in a major repair (ROM chip corruption).
So to summarize: those 2 services I specified, are often responsible for whether HPQ/ROMpaq will or won't run.
Other causes possible, but I've not witnessed; and if so - choose BootDisk option.
