[alsa-devel] about ALC203 linux driver

[Vincent Wan]

Dear Mark,



Thanks for your help, and I think that is a true direction.

I will re-check my driver as soon as I come back to home.



Wan.

Not all AC97 registers are writable so check that you're writing to

registers that the CODEC supports writing to but in general you're going

to need to debug your controller driver here.  Make sure you're

interacting well with any cache the controller has and that you are

properly synchronising with the controller during reads (which are

fairly slow operations on AC97).



Also make sure that the CODEC is properly clocked.
